EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a marble female statue from Athens, believed to be a Roman copy dating back to the 2nd century AD. The original sculpture, created around 430 BC, was an iconic cult statue of Nemesis, the goddess of retribution and vengeance. Despite its damaged state, this studio shot beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artwork. The statue depicts Nemesis in all her glory, holding an apple branch and a phiale (a shallow dish used for libations). Standing tall and elegant with her flowing robe cascading down her body, she exudes power and grace. This vertical composition emphasizes her divine presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art and craft from ancient Greece, we are reminded of the incredible skill and creativity that flourished during that era. The attention to detail in sculpting the delicate features of the female likeness is truly awe-inspiring. Although there are no people present in this image, it transports us back in time to witness a part of human representation through art. It serves as a testament to our fascination with mythology and our desire to immortalize these deities through artistic expression. Let us appreciate this extraordinary photograph as it allows us to connect with history by capturing the beauty and significance of this 5th-century AD masterpiece - a Roman copy preserving the legacy of an original Greek creation dedicated to Nemesis' worshipers in Athens.
