EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek civilization - the Funerary stele of two Hoplites, Chairedemos and Lykeas. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this bas relief sculpture hails from Salamis, Greece. In this full-length depiction, we see two Hoplites standing side by side. While one is depicted in a state of nudity, highlighting his physical prowess and bravery on the battlefield, the other is adorned with a chlamys - a short cloak worn over one shoulder. Both warriors are armed with spears and shields, symbolizing their readiness for combat. Carved with meticulous detail, this classical artwork exudes an aura of strength and valor. The soldiers stand arm in arm as if united even in death. Their barefoot stance further emphasizes their connection to nature and their groundedness as warriors. Displayed indoors against a neutral background, this ancient stele stands as a testament to human representation through art. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Greece while honoring these fallen heroes who fought bravely for their city-state. As we admire this vertical composition captured during daylight hours by Universal Images Group (UIG), we can't help but marvel at how such an ancient artifact continues to inspire awe and reverence today. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared human heritage and the timeless power of artistic expression.
