EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent stone relief titled "Magna graecia: metope with Heracles with the Cercopes". Created by a Greek artist in the 6th century BC, this artwork is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Regionale in Palermo, Italy. The metope depicts an iconic scene from Greek mythology known as the "labours of Hercules". In this particular metope, Heracles is depicted carrying the mischievous Cercopes on his shoulders. These mythological creatures were notorious for their pranks and mischief. With great strength and determination, Heracles effortlessly carries them, showcasing his heroic nature. The intricate carving and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this stone relief. From the facial expressions to the drapery of their clothing, each element adds depth and realism to this ancient masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece. We can almost feel the power emanating from Heracles as he triumphantly overcomes yet another challenge. This artwork serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with mythology. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures not only the essence of this incredible piece but also its historical significance. Through her lens, we are able to appreciate every nuance of this antique treasure while being reminded of its enduring beauty that transcends time itself.
