EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Statuette of Poseidon" housed in the Museum of Eleusis, Greece. The statuette, dating back to the 4th century BC, is a remarkable example of Hellenistic Greek art and serves as a testament to the rich ancient civilization that once thrived in this region. In this image captured by Alinari, Fratelli around 1920-1930, we are invited into a world where mythology and divinity intertwine with human form. Standing tall and proud, Poseidon emerges from the depths of history as an embodiment of power and strength. His muscular physique is flawlessly sculpted, emphasizing his godly status. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every curve and contour expertly carved out of stone. The flowing drapery adds an ethereal touch to the composition while hinting at his dominion over water as both Neptune and Poseidon. As we gaze upon this masterpiece frozen in time, it becomes apparent why Greek art has captivated generations throughout history. It not only celebrates beauty but also encapsulates stories passed down through mythological tales. Beyond its artistic significance lies another layer - fashion meets antiquity. This photograph allows us to appreciate how even centuries-old statues can inspire contemporary trends. With his commanding presence and timeless allure, Poseidon's influence extends far beyond ancient times. This print transports us to a different era altogether – one filled with gods and goddesses roaming among mortals. It reminds us that although civilizations rise and fall over time, their legacies endure through artifacts like this extraordinary statuette found within the walls of Eleusis Museum in Greece
