EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic "Head of Zeus-Oromandes" a remarkable piece of Greek art dating back to the 1st century BC. Located in Nemrut Dagi, Anatolia, Turkey, this awe-inspiring sculpture was built by the Commagene King Antiochus as part of a grand funerary monument. The head of Zeus-Oromandes exudes an air of power and divinity. Carved from stone with meticulous attention to detail, it portrays Zeus, one of the most prominent gods in Greek mythology. His striking moustache and beard add an aura of wisdom and authority to his countenance. Standing tall amidst Mount Nemrut's breathtaking landscape, this colossal statue is housed within a magnificent mausoleum known as tumulus. The Kommagene dynasty left no stone unturned when creating this monumental tribute to their ruler and deity. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every intricate feature and nuance in this photograph. It allows us to marvel at the sheer size and grandeur of this ancient masterpiece while appreciating its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance that flourished during Hellenistic Greece. This print serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, the Head of Zeus-Oromandes continues to inspire wonder and admiration for both its craftsmanship and mythical symbolism.
