EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Greek painting on cut, depicting the legendary Heracles in a moment of intense action. Created around 470 BC, this artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale's Cabinet de Medailles in Paris. The image captures Heracles brandishing a chair with forceful determination as he confronts his music master. The scene depicted here reflects the complex nature of Greek mythology and culture. It highlights both violence and heroism, showcasing the strength and power associated with gods like Heracles. The presence of an adolescent figure suggests themes of youth and coming-of-age within ancient Greece. Beyond its mythological context, this artwork also offers glimpses into other aspects of ancient Greek society. References to eroticism and homosexuality hint at different forms of relationships that were accepted during that time period. Stefano Bianchetti's expert photography skillfully brings out the intricate details of this historical piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value even further. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment from antiquity – one that encapsulates both the divine and human aspects of ancient Greece.
