EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Wounded Chimera of Bellerophon, a mythical creature from Greek mythology. The bronze sculpture dates back to the 5th century AD and is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy.
The head of the chimera is depicted with such realism that it almost seems as though it could come to life at any moment. Its ferocious expression and twisted features evoke a sense of fear and awe, showcasing the skill and artistry of the ancient sculptors who created this masterpiece.
The chimera is a fantastical beast with the body of a lion, the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a serpent for a tail. In Greek mythology, it was slain by Bellerophon with the help of Pegasus, making this sculpture not only visually striking but also rich in storytelling.
As you gaze upon this detailed image captured by photographer Raffaello Bencini, you can't help but be drawn into the world of ancient myths and legends. The play of light on bronze highlights every curve and contour, bringing out the beauty and terror embodied in this mythical creature.
