EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of Olympian Zeus, a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Phidias in gold and ivory. The image is based on an exact description provided by Pausaniass, dating back to 143-176 AD. Captured from Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" in 1721, this engraving now resides in a private collection. The statue itself is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, symbolizing both grandeur and divine power. Standing tall within a magnificent temple adorned with columns and featuring a barrel vault overhead, it exudes an aura of majesty that leaves viewers spellbound. Phidias' meticulous craftsmanship is evident as every intricate detail comes to life through this photograph. The sculpture depicts Jupiter himself, the mighty Greek god known for his supreme authority and thunderous presence. Its cross-section reveals not only Phidias' technical mastery but also his ability to capture emotion within stone. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of ancient Greece. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout history while reminding us of our eternal fascination with gods and legends that continue to inspire us today.
