EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic figure of Olympia, Athena, from a metope. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for Griechenland, a book authored by Hanns Holdt and Hugo Von Hofmannsthal and published by Ernst Wasmuth around 1920. The gravure printing technique used to reproduce this image adds depth and texture to the depiction of Olympia, Athena. Standing tall with her powerful stance and adorned in traditional Greek attire, she exudes strength, wisdom, and grace. This metope captures her divine presence perfectly. Olympia holds great significance in ancient Greek mythology as the patron goddess of Athens. She symbolizes warfare strategy, wisdom, courage, inspiration for artists and craftsmen alike. As one gazes upon this remarkable photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of Greece's rich cultural heritage. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece of art history through their Fine Art Finder collection. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such intricate metopes but also offers us a glimpse into the world of ancient Greece - its gods and goddesses who continue to inspire awe even centuries later.
