EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient statue of Apollo from Dreros, also known as Sphyrelaton. Dating back to the 7th century BC, this remarkable piece of Greek civilization is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. The figure of Apollo was created using an intriguing technique called "Sphyrelaton" which involved hammering metal sheets over a wooden core. The photograph captures the front view of this damaged sculpture, highlighting its intricate details despite its age. With a colored background adding depth and contrast, the grey-toned statue stands out as a symbol of history frozen in time. Apollo, one of the most revered gods in Greek mythology, is depicted here with great precision and skill. This single object serves as both an archaeological artifact and a work of art that represents human representation at its finest. Although broken in places due to centuries gone by, this image evokes a sense of awe and wonderment for those who appreciate ancient antiquities. It transports us back to ancient Greece when gods were worshipped fervently and their images held immense power. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to marvel at the beauty and significance behind this relic from our past without any commercial use intentions. It reminds us that even after thousands of years, these remnants continue to captivate our imagination and preserve our connection with history's rich tapestry.
