EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art: the plaque of the passage of the Theores. Dating back to 480 BC, this low marble relief was discovered on the island of Thasos in Greece and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The focal point of this artwork is a beautifully carved face representing Hermes, the messenger god. He wears a distinctive headdress known as pilos, which is a pointed hat made from felt. In his hand, Hermes holds the deciduous, adding an intriguing element to his portrayal. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and line has been meticulously carved into the marble, showcasing the skill and talent of ancient Greek artists. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece.

This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also serves as a reminder of our connection to history.
