EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient mythological scene of Europa being carried off by a bull and surrounded by dolphins. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this metope artwork originates from temple Y at Selinunte in Sicily, Italy. The vibrant colors bring to life the moment when Europa, a female goddess, is transported across the sea on the back of a majestic bull. The image showcases not only the artistic mastery of its time but also provides insight into religious beliefs and cultural practices during this period. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined mythology was with everyday life for people in ancient civilizations. The composition highlights both power and grace as Europa is effortlessly lifted above the waves by her divine transportation. The presence of dolphins adds an element of enchantment to this already mesmerizing scene. As we gaze upon this artifact today, we are reminded of our connection to history and how these stories continue to inspire us centuries later. This print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also prompts contemplation about our own beliefs and values that have evolved over time.
