EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an Imaginary portrait of Homere, the legendary author of the Iliad and Odyssey, dating back to the 8th century BC. The marble sculpture, believed to be from the imperial period in the 2nd century AD, was discovered in a wall of Caetani Palace in Rome. Despite being blind and old according to tradition, this portrayal of Homer is a testament to his enduring legacy as one of ancient Greece's greatest poets.
The intricate details of this sculpture showcase the skill and artistry of Roman craftsmen who captured Homer's essence with precision. His bearded face exudes wisdom and contemplation, reflecting his status as a revered writer and storyteller.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when literature flourished and myths were born. The colors used in this piece add depth and vibrancy to Homer's likeness, bringing him to life before our eyes.
Through this work of art, we are reminded of the power of storytelling and how it has shaped cultures throughout history. Homer's influence continues to resonate today, making him a timeless figure whose words have stood the test of time.
