EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art: a votive terracotta tablet depicting Persephone on the throne and Hades from Locri. Created around 470 BC, this ancient artifact is housed in the National Museum of Reggio Calabria, Italy. The tablet beautifully captures the mythological characters of Proserpine (Persephone) and Pluto (Hades), who play significant roles in Greek mythology. The intricate carving and attention to detail highlight the skill and craftsmanship of the artist, Luisa Ricciarini. Persephone, seated elegantly on her throne, exudes grace and poise. Her flowing robes drape gracefully around her as she gazes serenely into the distance. Beside her stands Hades, depicted with his characteristic beard and regal attire. The artist's mastery is evident in their facial expressions, which convey both power and vulnerability. This votive tablet serves as a testament to ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into their beliefs surrounding life after death and the underworld ruled by Hades himself. As we admire this artwork today, we are transported back in time to an era where mythology intertwined with daily life. Through this photograph by Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only the beauty of Greek art but also its ability to transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' stories and traditions.
