EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, known as the "Statue without arms representing Poseidon, god of the sea". Housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, this statue stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe's ancient civilization. Dating back to the 5th or 4th century BC, this magnificent sculpture showcases an individualized portrayal of Poseidon. Despite its missing limbs, it exudes an air of power and divinity. The artist skillfully crafted every detail - from the intricate curls that frame his face to the intense gaze emanating from his eyes. Poseidon's muscular physique is beautifully depicted in all its glory; every sinew and contour meticulously carved. This nude representation highlights both physiological and psychological aspects of masculinity within Greco-Roman mythology. As we examine this artwork closely, our attention is drawn to various elements: his strong jawline with lips slightly parted as if about to speak; each toe delicately formed on his bare feet; even strands of hair carefully etched onto his head. It is evident that great care was taken by both sculptor and photographer alike to capture these minute details. The Alinari brothers have masterfully preserved this moment in time through their lens sometime between 1920-1930. Their photograph allows us a glimpse into antiquity - a window into a world where gods walked among mortals. Through this image, we are reminded not only of Greece's rich artistic legacy but also how archeology can unveil fragments from ages past. As we stand before this awe-inspiring work today at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, we cannot help but marvel at its enduring beauty and significance for generations to come.
