EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Statue of Homere" created by Philippe Laurent Roland in the 18th century. The statue, made from exquisite marble, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Homere, a revered Greek poet believed to have lived during the 8th century BC, is depicted here with great detail and artistry. According to tradition, he was blind, which adds an intriguing layer to his portrayal. Homere's literary genius is celebrated through his two epic poems - the Iliad and the Odyssey - both attributed to him. The sculpture beautifully captures Homere's essence as a musician and writer. He holds a lyre, a musical instrument commonly associated with ancient Greece. His poised stance exudes confidence and wisdom while showcasing his deep connection with poetry and music. Roland's mastery shines through every intricately carved feature of this piece. From Homere's expressive face to the delicate drapery that adorns his body, each element demonstrates exceptional skill and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Kim Young Tae's lens, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece. It serves as a testament not only to Homere's enduring legacy but also to the timeless power of art itself.
