EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Sappho, a renowned Greek lyric poetess who was born around 600 BC and thrived in the 5th century BC. The image is a Roman copy of an original Greek sculpture from the same era, highlighting the enduring impact of Sappho's literary contributions. In this exquisite artwork, we witness the grace and elegance that defined women during ancient times. With her delicate features and intricate ringlet hairstyle, Sappho exudes an air of sophistication and intellect. Her expressive eyes seem to hold centuries' worth of wisdom and poetic inspiration. The photograph transports us to Italy, where this remarkable artifact resides as a testament to Greece's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and borders, connecting us with our ancestors through their creative expressions. Sappho's significance as a poet cannot be overstated; she is considered one of antiquity's greatest lyrical voices. Through her verses, she explored themes such as love, desire, nature, and personal experiences - topics that continue to resonate with audiences today. This print captures not only Sappho's physical likeness but also her profound influence on literature throughout history. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry meticulously captured by CM Dixon in the 20th century, we are reminded of Sappho’s lasting legacy as an icon for female empowerment in both ancient Greece and beyond.
