EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent statue of Atlas, a prominent figure in Greek mythology. Standing tall in Arona, Italy, this sculpture by Bruno d'Arcevia portrays the Titan god who was condemned to bear the weight of both heavens and Earth on his shoulders. Legend has it that Zeus punished Atlas for rebelling against the gods of Mount Olympus. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he depicts Atlas kneeling under the immense burden he carries. The sculpture serves as a reminder of his eternal penance and showcases his strength and resilience despite his unfortunate fate. Interestingly, according to mythological accounts, Perseus used Medusa's head to turn Atlas into stone at what is now known as the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. This adds an intriguing layer to the story behind this remarkable piece of art. With its rich historical context and mythical significance, this photograph invites viewers to contemplate the enduring power of ancient legends. It beautifully captures not only Bruno d'Arcevia's artistic prowess but also highlights how mythology continues to inspire awe and fascination across generations.
