EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Colossus of Rhodes, a monumental statue that stood tall in ancient Greece. Erected by the skilled sculptor Chares of Lindos in 280 BC, this colossal statue depicted Helios, the revered Greek sun-god. Standing at an astounding height of 33 meters or 108 feet, it was truly a marvel to behold. Tragically, this magnificent structure met its demise during an earthquake in 226 BC. Despite its short-lived existence, the Colossus of Rhodes left an indelible mark on history as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The image presented here is based on a remarkable illustration from the 19th century by an unknown artist. To enhance its visual impact and transport viewers back to ancient times, a digital sky has been added to create a stunning composite artwork. As we gaze upon this piece, our imagination takes flight with thoughts of ancient civilizations and their rich mythological beliefs. The presence of boats sailing near the colossal statue adds depth and perspective to this historical scene. Ken Welsh's skillful rendering captures not only the grandeur but also evokes feelings of reverence towards these ancient gods and their enduring influence on human civilization. This print serves as both a testament to our past and an invitation for us to explore further into history's depths.
