EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman copy of an ancient Greek masterpiece, "Athena with a cist" which dates back to the 4th century BC. The original sculpture was created by the renowned artist Cephisodotus and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this exquisite artwork, we see Athena, also known as Minerva in Roman mythology, depicted with her iconic helmet and holding a cist or box for carrying sacred utensils. As the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, Athena exudes strength and intelligence through her powerful stance and piercing gaze. The intricate details of the marble sculpture are beautifully captured in this print by Bridgeman Images. Every curve and contour of Athena's figure is flawlessly rendered, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of both Cephisodotus and the Roman copyists who sought to replicate his work.
