EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of the lion terrace" takes us on a journey back in time to ancient Greece. Taken by an unknown Greek photographer in the 7th century BC, this image showcases the remarkable guardian lions that were dedicated by the Naxians to the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos Island. The photograph captures these majestic sculptures with incredible detail and precision. Crafted from exquisite Naxos marble, these guardian lions stand tall and proud, symbolizing strength and protection. Their intricate carvings showcase the skill and artistry of ancient Greek sculptors. Now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Delos, this print allows us to appreciate these historical treasures up close. The composition beautifully highlights not only the grandeur of these statues but also their surroundings – a serene terrace overlooking breathtaking views of Cyclades' picturesque landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when myth and legend intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a reminder of Greece's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to art history. With its timeless beauty preserved through Bridgeman Images' expertise, this print is more than just a piece for display; it is an invitation to explore centuries-old traditions and immerse ourselves in ancient Greek mythology.
