EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print, titled "MYTHOLOGY: SELENE" we are transported back to the early 16th century in Germany. The artist skillfully presents an allegorical representation of Selene, the Greek moon goddess. The scene unfolds with Selene seated gracefully in a magnificent chariot, pulled by majestic horses. As the charioteer, she guides them through the night sky with utmost elegance and poise. Her divine presence is palpable as her serene expression reflects both power and beauty. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and showcases the Renaissance fascination with classical themes. The intricate details of the woodcut technique add depth and texture to every element portrayed. Selene's significance as a lunar deity is highlighted here, symbolizing femininity, intuition, and mystery associated with the moon itself. This portrayal pays homage to Hellenic Republic's rich cultural heritage while also serving as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient myths. As we gaze upon this timeless piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of women's strength throughout history and their ability to inspire awe through their gracefulness and wisdom.
