EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient civilization of Greece, specifically to the Shrine of Isia in Gortina, Crete. Standing tall against a striking black background is a full-length statue depicting Proserpine and Pluto with their loyal companion Cerberus. This remarkable sculpture, dating back to the 1st century BC, showcases the artistry and mythology that were integral parts of this era. In this front view studio shot, we see Proserpine and Pluto side by side, holding onto each other's robes as they stand confidently. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece; from the intricate carvings on their garments to the carefully crafted representations of these mythical figures. Proserpine exudes grace and beauty while clutching a stick symbolizing her role as Queen of the Underworld. Beside her stands Pluto - also known as Hades - who holds his iconic three-headed dog Cerberus firmly by his side. Their presence evokes a sense of power and mystique that was deeply ingrained in Greek religion and history. As we admire this archaeological artifact, it serves as a reminder of our rich past and traditional culture. It represents not only human likeness but also animal representation through Cerberus' fierce visage. This single object encapsulates both male and female likenesses within its artistic form. Through this photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported into an ancient world where gods and goddesses reigned supreme, leaving
