EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble sculpture known as "Group with Dioscuri" dating back to the end of the 5th century BC. Created by Greek artists, this masterpiece can be found in the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria, Italy. The artwork depicts a sculpted group representing the Dioscuri, twin brothers from Greek mythology who were revered as protectors and patrons of travelers. In this particular scene, one of the Dioscuri is seen gracefully descending from a horse while his companion stands nearby. Standing at an impressive height of 126 cm (140 cm including its base), this marble sculpture was originally located in Locri Epizefiri within an Ionic temple dedicated to Marasa. The intricate details and lifelike expressions captured by the artist truly bring these mythical figures to life. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every nuance and texture of this ancient work through her photography skills. This image allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage left behind by ancient Greece. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, marveling at both human creativity and archaeological wonders that continue to captivate our imagination today.
