EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print showcases the exquisite marble statue of Hermes, crafted by the renowned Athenian sculptor Praxiteles I during the 4th century BC. Praxiteles, a prominent figure in Attic Sculpture and son of Cephisodotus the Elder, left an indelible mark on ancient Greek art with his masterful creations. In this particular artwork, we witness Hermes tenderly bearing the infant Dionysus in his arms. The intricate details of their faces are beautifully captured in pristine white marble, symbolizing both strength and grace. This sculpture epitomizes the timeless beauty and skill that characterized ancient Greek art. Dating back to around the 1910s, this print allows us to appreciate every delicate curve and contour of Praxiteles' masterpiece. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring as it transports us back to antiquity when such sculptures adorned sacred spaces or graced private collections.

It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and reminds us of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. Whether you are captivated by Greek mythology or simply admire fine artistry, this close-up view offers a glimpse into an era where sculptors like Praxiteles immortalized their subjects through stone-carved wonders like this mesmerizing depiction of Hermes and Dionysus.
