EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art known as the "Stele with High Relief Representing a Young Man in a Victorious Position" (Ephebe). Created during the 4th century BC, this marble stele depicts a young man striking an awe-inspiring pose of triumph. The dimensions of this masterpiece measure 161x60x22 cm and it is currently housed in the Palazzo Ducale's Coll Statuaria collection in Mantua, Italy. The intricate carving on this stele exemplifies the extraordinary skill and attention to detail that characterized ancient Greek art. The artist has masterfully captured the youthful energy and strength of the subject, showcasing his well-defined musculature and athletic physique. With every curve and contour meticulously chiseled into the marble, this artwork truly brings forth a sense of life-like realism. The significance behind this portrayal lies not only in its artistic excellence but also in its cultural context. Ephebos were young men who had completed their military training and were considered to be at their physical prime. This particular representation symbolizes victory, power, and success – qualities highly valued by ancient Greeks. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where beauty was immortalized through stone carvings like these. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of ancient Greece and our enduring fascination with classical antiquity.
