EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Statue of armed Aphrodite, carved from Parian marble. Standing tall and majestic, this ancient Greek sculpture is a 1st century AD copy of an original dating back to circa 400 BC. Created by a skilled sculptor belonging to the renowned school of Polykleitos, possibly Polykleitos the Younger, this masterpiece exudes grace and elegance. The statue depicts Aphrodite with her arms raised, holding a sword sheathed across her chest. Despite some damage over time, its artistic finesse remains intact. The intricate details on her flowing robe and the delicate features on her face make it evident that every aspect was crafted with utmost precision. Photographed in a studio setting, this vertical composition allows us to appreciate every nuance of this remarkable artwork. The absence of people in the frame directs our focus solely on Aphrodite's divine presence. Located in Epidaurus, Greece, this sculpture is not only a testament to ancient craftsmanship but also serves as a representation of female likeness throughout history. Its significance lies not only in its historical value but also as an embodiment of art and craft at its finest. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures the essence and allure of one of antiquity's most revered goddesses – Aphrodite – reminding us once again why Greek art continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
