EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin from 472-413 BCE, depicting the majestic figure of an eagle. Created by an unknown artist during ancient Greece, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of that era. The image captures the intricate details of the coin's design with remarkable clarity. The eagle, symbolizing power and strength, takes center stage against a grey background, its wings outstretched in flight. Its sharp gaze and poised stance evoke a sense of awe and reverence. This bird of prey represents not only the natural world but also carries symbolic significance within Greek culture. Surrounding the eagle are elements that further enhance its visual impact - delicate depictions of aquatic life such as crabs add depth and complexity to the composition. The use of silver metal for this coinage reflects both its monetary value and craftsmanship. Displayed in panoramic letterbox format, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail while capturing the essence of Ancient Greece's heritage art. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to transcend time and captivate our imagination. Located at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this print offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts to bring home a piece steeped in history while celebrating one of humanity's most enduring forms of expression – coins as works-of-art.
