EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble statue of Corinna, created by the talented Greek sculptor Silanion during the 4th century BC. Displayed at the Musee Municipal Antoine Vivenel in Compiegne, France, this masterpiece is a testament to both ancient artistry and female empowerment. Corinna, an enigmatic figure from Boeotia's rich mythology, was not only a poetess but also a renowned lyricist. Often overshadowed by her contemporary Pindar, she emerged as his formidable rival and teacher in Tanagra. Plutarch and Pausanias provide us with glimpses of her extraordinary talent and influence. While only two of Corinna's poems have survived in epitome form, fragments preserved on delicate papyrus hint at her lyrical prowess. This statue captures her essence as a powerful woman who defied societal norms to pursue her passion for poetry. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this evocative sculpture through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail that Silanion meticulously carved into the marble. The graceful curves of Corinna's form exude elegance while simultaneously embodying strength—a fitting tribute to this remarkable poetess. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time—immersed in the world of ancient Greece where poets like Corinna left an indelible mark on history. Let us celebrate her legacy as we admire this stunning work of art that pays homage
