EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Statue of the goddess Persephone, dating back to the 2nd century AD. Located in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, this exquisite work of art is part of a group of statues featuring Pluto and Cerberus. In this particular depiction, Persephone takes on the form of the Egyptian deity Isis. The Roman Period Gortyna temple dedicated to Egyptian deities served as inspiration for this portrayal. The statue beautifully captures Persephone's divine essence and feminine grace. The image transports us back to ancient times when Greek culture thrived in all its glory. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that has shaped our world today. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, it exemplifies the artistic brilliance prevalent during antiquity. Persephone herself holds great significance in mythology as she is known as both Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Springtime growth. This portrayal encapsulates her mythological character with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this stunning sculpture through Frank Buffetrille's lens, we are reminded not only of ancient Greece but also Rome's influence on art during that era. It stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history and invites us to delve into these fascinating mythological tales that continue to captivate our imagination even after centuries have passed.
