EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent bronze statue from the Hellenistic period, titled "Eros Sleeping". Created during the 3rd to 2nd century BC in Greece, this sculpture is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of that era. The statue measures an impressive 16 1/2 by 14 inches and weighs a staggering 275 pounds (1247 kg). The craftsmanship of this piece is truly remarkable, as it accurately captures the essence of Eros in his slumber. In Greek mythology, Eros was known as the god of love and desire. Here, he takes on the form of a baby Herakles, adding an interesting twist to his mythological representation. During this period, sculptures like these were highly favored by young children who enjoyed playing with them or even using them as pets in their imaginative games. This genre scene became popular due to its ability to bring mythical characters closer to everyday life. The Liszt Collection has done an exceptional job preserving and presenting this bronze masterpiece for art enthusiasts around the world. While we cannot mention any commercial use related to this photo print, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to appreciate the beauty and skill behind ancient Greek art.
