EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of Greek art: an Attic funerary stele in Naiskos with antefixes created by the skilled bronze melter Sosinos of Gortyne. Dating back to 410-400 BC, this ancient masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 1x0.6 meters and is currently housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. The focal point of this artwork is a seated man depicted on the stele, showcasing intricate details that highlight the craftsmanship of its creator. The figure exudes a sense of solemnity and contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect upon life's transience and mortality. The antefixes surrounding the central figure add further depth to this composition. These decorative elements were expertly crafted by Sosinos himself, demonstrating his mastery over bronze melting techniques. Their presence enhances both the aesthetic appeal and symbolic significance of the funerary stele. Through this photograph taken by ePhoto Josse, we are granted a glimpse into ancient Greece's rich artistic heritage. This image serves as a testament to human creativity and archaeological ingenuity, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and cultural significance encapsulated within these carved relics from antiquity.
