EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art: a low relief votive marble depicting Artemis before a god, with the central figure being Kephisos, the river god. To the right of Kephisos stand three graceful nymphs, adding an ethereal touch to this ancient masterpiece. Created in 410 BC and originating from Phaleron in Athens, this exquisite marble relief now resides in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The intricate carving and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this artwork. The artist skillfully captures Artemis's presence as she stands before Kephisos and the other mythical beings. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and awe, highlighting the significance of these divine figures within Greek mythology. As we gaze upon this relic from antiquity, we are transported back to a time when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently by ancient civilizations. This image serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of its creator and the enduring power that mythological characters hold over human imagination. Luisa Ricciarini has masterfully captured this moment through her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of Greek art but also its historical importance. As we delve into archaeology and explore ancient cultures through artifacts like this one, we gain insight into our shared human heritage across centuries.
