EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Rear View of Riace Warrior B, a magnificent bronze sculpture from ancient Greece. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Reggio Calabria, Italy. Discovered by Stefano Mariottini, a Roman chemist on a scuba diving vacation at Monasterace on August 16,1972, these statues were possibly part of a shipwreck off the coast of Riace. Believed to represent Tydeus and Amphiarius, two warriors from the Seven Against Thebes group in Argos' Polis (city-state), their presence evokes tales of heroism and valor. The photograph captures the striking posterior view of one warrior with his impressive muscular physique. Adorned with a beard and goatee beard that exudes wisdom and maturity, he stands tall in contrapposto pose - an iconic stance synonymous with classical artistry. The attention to detail is remarkable as every sinewy muscle is meticulously sculpted to perfection. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth an athletic prowess that resonates through time.
