EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statue of a siren, taken from the cemetery of Dipylon near Athens. Preserved in the prestigious National Museum of Athens, this artwork is an exquisite representation of Greek art and ancient civilization. The statue depicts a mesmerizing female figure with alluring features. Her nude and human body is flawlessly sculpted, emphasizing the beauty and grace of the female form. The intricate details are evident in her flowing hair, delicate facial expression, and outstretched arm. With wings adorning her back, she exudes an air of divinity. In mythology and literature, sirens were enchanting creatures known for their seductive voices that lured sailors to their doom. This sculpture captures both their allure and danger perfectly. It serves as a testament to the rich mythological heritage that has shaped Greek culture throughout history. Dating back to the 4th century BC (IV sec. a C), this masterpiece stands as an enduring symbol of artistic excellence during Greco-Roman times. Its presence in the National Archaeological Museum allows visitors to immerse themselves in Greece's ancient past while appreciating its profound impact on European art. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this photograph between 1920-1930 ca. , preserving not only the physicality but also capturing its essence for generations to come. Through this image, viewers can experience firsthand the magnificence and timelessness encapsulated within Greek art. As we gaze upon this picture print from Alinari Fratelli's collection, we are transported into another era—a world where gods walked among mortals—and reminded once again why Greece remains synonymous with unparalleled cultural richness.
