EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking marble and limestone print depicts a scene from the Pergamon Altar's East Frieze, which was commissioned by Eumenes II Soter of Pergamon in Asia Minor during the Hellenistic period around 164-156 BC. The artists of Pergamon's renowned school created this masterpiece, which is now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. The intricate relief shows a thrilling episode from the mythological battle between the gods and the giants, or Gigantomachy. In this particular scene, Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the daughter of Leto, engages in combat with Otos. Her mother, Leto, fiercely battles against the titan Tityos, using a torch to defend herself and her daughter. The high relief sculpture captures the intensity and energy of the battle, with Artemis poised to shoot an arrow at Otos, while Leto fiercely clashes with Tityos. The intricate details of their costumes, muscles, and facial expressions convey the raw power and determination of the combatants. The Pergamon Altar, with its impressive size and intricate decorative elements, was a symbol of the wealth and cultural sophistication of the ancient city of Pergamon. The East Frieze, with its vivid depiction of the Gigantomachy, showcases the artistic mastery of the Hellenistic period and continues to captivate viewers with its mythological narrative and stunning visual detail.
