EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the Stele with the famous image of Athena, an iconic piece of Greek art preserved in the Museum of the Acropolis of Athens. The photograph, captured by Alinari, Fratelli around 1920-1930, beautifully captures this ancient artifact that dates back to the 5th century BC. The stele depicts Athena, also known as Minerva in Roman mythology, a powerful and revered female divinity. In this low relief sculpture work, she is portrayed holding a lance or spear while wearing her distinctive helmet. This memorial stone serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Greece's ancient civilization. Beyond its historical value, this artwork offers insights into various aspects of human psychology and behavior. The intricate details on Athena's clothing and fashion choices reflect not only her divine status but also provide glimpses into contemporary styles during that era. Moreover, this image invites contemplation on individual reflection and meditation through its portrayal of Athena's poised demeanor. As viewers engage with this Greco-Roman masterpiece from centuries ago within the tranquil halls of the Acropolis Museum in Athens—a city steeped in history—physiological and psychological aspects come to light. Alinari's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every nuance present on this remarkable stele. Through their lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Greece's most treasured artifacts—an embodiment of both artistic excellence and profound mythological symbolism.
