EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring representation of one of the Seven Wonders of Antiquity - the Colossus of Rhodes. Captured in an engraving by Joannes Jansson, a prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher, this artwork was featured in his renowned Atlas printed in Amsterdam back in 1630. The Colossus of Rhodes, a colossal statue dedicated to the Greek sun god Helios, stood proudly on the island of Rhodes during ancient times. This magnificent sculpture served as a symbol of power and grandeur for the people who marveled at its sheer size and beauty. Although it no longer exists today, this image allows us to marvel at its splendor and imagine what it must have been like to witness such a marvel firsthand. The fine details captured in this print showcase Jansson's exceptional skill as an engraver. Every line and curve brings life to this mythological character from antiquity, evoking a sense of wonder and admiration for both Greek mythology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of humanity's ability to create extraordinary works that withstand the test of time. It serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient wonders and our desire to preserve their memory through art. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography has immortalized this remarkable engraving for generations to come, allowing us all to appreciate the magnificence that once graced the island shores of Rhodes.
