EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief from ancient Greece, depicting the intense battle between Ares and Hermes against a fearsome dragon. Created in 525 BC, this Greek Ionic art piece is housed in the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, Greece. The scene portrayed on the north side of the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury captures a momentous event known as Gigantomachy. Ares, the god of war, and Hermes, messenger of gods and protector of travelers, join forces to combat an enormous giant serpent-like creature. The intricate carving skillfully brings out every detail - from their muscular forms to their determined expressions. The artist's mastery is evident in capturing both the strength and agility displayed by these mythological characters as they engage in combat. As we gaze upon this relic from antiquity, we are transported back to an era where mythology played a significant role in shaping beliefs and understanding human existence. It serves as a testament to how ancient civilizations expressed their reverence for gods through art. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of this masterpiece while preserving its historical significance. This print invites us into a world filled with divine battles and heroic feats that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
