EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Dakers takes us on a journey to the ancient ruins of Ephesus in Turkey's Izmir Province. The image showcases a mesmerizing detail of a carving depicting the skin of the Nemean lion, slain by the legendary hero Heracles or Hercules. As we gaze upon this intricate work of art, we are transported back in time to an era when Roman columns and facades dominated the landscape. The craftsmanship displayed in this stone pillar is awe-inspiring, with every curve and contour meticulously carved. The figure of Hercules stands tall and proud, his muscular physique accentuated as he holds up the formidable lion's head triumphantly. This symbolizes not only his immense strength but also his victory over evil forces that threatened humanity. The photograph captures not just a piece of ancient architecture but also tells a story steeped in mythology and history. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how civilizations from centuries ago continue to inspire us today. John Dakers' skillful lens has immortalized this moment for all to see, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of nature's materials - rock and stone - as well as human creativity at its finest. This print is truly an exquisite representation of art meeting archaeology, transporting us into another world where legends come alive amidst crumbling ruins.
