EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colossal heads of Zeus and Antiochos I, found at the site of the mausoleum of King Antiochus I in Commagene, Anatolia, Turkey. The impressive sculptures date back to 62 BC and were created by Greek artists during the 1st century BC. Perched on top of Mount Nemrud or Nimrod, also known as Nemrut Dagi (Dagh), these ancient relics stand as a testament to both mythology and archaeology. The intricate carvings depict the majestic faces of Zeus, king of gods in Greek mythology, and Antiochos I himself. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every expression with precision. These larger-than-life statues evoke a sense of awe and wonder for visitors who come across them. As one gazes upon this photograph taken by Luisa Ricciarini, they are transported back in time to an era filled with mythological characters and grandeur. The image beautifully captures not only the artistry but also the historical significance behind these sculptures. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since their creation, these masterpieces continue to fascinate us with their beauty and mystery. This print is a treasure for any lover of Greek mythology, archaeological sites, or simply those who appreciate fine art from antiquity.
