EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic eagle griffin or Homa, a mythical creature that holds immense significance in Persian culture. The stone sculpture, dating back to the 6th century BC, can be found in Persepolis, Iran. Its intricate details and grandeur are a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship of the Persian School. The image captures the awe-inspiring beauty of this fantastic beast against a backdrop of clear blue skies and towering columns. As rays of sunlight illuminate its form, every contour and feather is brought to life with vibrant colors. This artwork stands as an enduring symbol of antiquity and architectural brilliance. Persepolis itself was once a magnificent palace complex belonging to Darius I, also known as Darius the Great. Today, it stands as an archeological site that offers glimpses into Persia's rich history and royal heritage. The photograph not only highlights the artistic mastery behind this ancient sculpture but also evokes a sense of wonder at nature's most powerful creatures - birds of prey like eagles. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with mythology and storytelling throughout human civilization. Stefano Baldini's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the cultural significance and aesthetic appeal of this masterpiece from centuries past.
