EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning representation of the wind god Zephir, also known as Zephyr. Taken from the 1888 edition of the "Dictionary of Mythology" this plate is a testament to the artistic brilliance of an unknown 19th-century artist. The private collection that houses this remarkable piece has graciously allowed it to be shared with the world. Zephir, a prominent figure in Greek mythology, is depicted here in all his divine glory. His muscular and ethereal body stands proudly against a backdrop that seems to come alive with swirling winds. This portrayal perfectly captures his essence as the personification of gentle breezes and warm spring winds. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, emphasizing not only Zephir's physical strength but also his human-like features and nudity. It serves as a reminder that even gods possess vulnerability and humanity. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where myths were born and legends came alive. Giancarlo Costa expertly captured this moment through his lens, ensuring that future generations can appreciate both the beauty of Greek mythology and the talent behind its visual representation.
