EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Greek mythology. Titled "Olympia, Herkules, from a metope" it showcases the incredible craftsmanship of a European photographer from the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in the book "Griechenland" by Hanns Holdt and Hugo Von Hofmannsthal. The subject matter depicts Herkules (or Hercules), one of the most renowned heroes in Greek mythology, showcased on a metope. Metopes were rectangular stone panels that adorned ancient Greek temples, often depicting scenes from myths or historical events. In this particular metope, Herkules stands tall with his muscular physique and lion's skin draped over his arm. The gravure printing technique used for this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured by the photographer. It transports viewers back to ancient Greece, allowing them to marvel at its rich cultural heritage. This mesmerizing artwork serves as a reminder of Greece's significant contributions to art, literature, and philosophy throughout history. It invites us to delve into the world of mythological heroes like Herkules while appreciating their enduring legacy in contemporary times.
