EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century portrait print titled "Portrait of Sapho (Sappho)" showcases the enigmatic beauty and poetic prowess of the renowned Greek poet, Sappho. The unknown artist skillfully captures her essence, leaving us in awe of her timeless allure.

Her gaze is both intense and contemplative, hinting at the depth of emotions that inspired her immortal verses. With delicate brushstrokes and intricate details, every line seems to whisper secrets from a distant era. Sappho's significance as an icon for female empowerment and LGBTQ+ representation cannot be overstated.

Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable print by Giancarlo Costa transports us back to an age where artistry flourished alongside intellectual exploration. It invites us to delve into the world of ancient Greece through its depiction of Sappho - an embodiment of passion, creativity, and unapologetic authenticity.
