EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Greece, specifically the Heraion of Argos. The black background enhances the stunning marble head of Hera, a masterpiece attributed to the renowned School of Polykleitos. This sculpture, dating back to the 5th century BC, is a testament to the incredible skill and artistry of Greek civilization. The front view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail carved into this archaeological artifact. With its vertical composition and single object focus, it exudes an aura of power and grace that befits a goddess like Hera. As we gaze upon her serene expression and delicate features, we are transported into an era steeped in religion and history. Hera was one of the most important deities in ancient Greek mythology, known as the queen of gods and goddesses. This marble head serves as a tangible connection to our past—a reminder of a bygone era when beliefs in divine beings shaped daily life. As we admire this remarkable piece from afar, we can't help but marvel at how it has withstood centuries while retaining its beauty and allure. It stands as a symbol not only for ancient Greece but also for humanity's enduring fascination with our collective heritage.
