EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting Venus, originating from the ancient Maya civilization in Chichen Itza, Mexico. Created in the 11th century, this intricate carving is believed to have adorned the temple dedicated to the planet Venus. Against a striking black background, the patterned relief stands out as an exquisite piece of art and craft. The sculpture's vertical composition and repetition of design elements draw our attention towards its central figure - Venus herself. The goddess of love and beauty appears serene yet powerful, her presence evoking a sense of awe and admiration for the artistic skills of those who created it centuries ago. Through this studio shot, we are transported back in time to explore the rich history and archeological wonders left behind by the Maya civilization. This single object serves as a tangible link to their past achievements and cultural significance. As we contemplate this mesmerizing artwork, let us appreciate its beauty without commercial intentions or any mention of commercial use. Instead, let us marvel at how such masterpieces continue to captivate our imagination even after centuries have passed.
