EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic "Head of Zeus-Oromandes, a goddess and an eagle" a remarkable piece of Greek art dating back to the 1st century BC. The photograph was taken at Nemrut Dagi in Anatolia, Turkey, where this awe-inspiring sculpture resides. The image captures the intricate details and grandeur of this ancient masterpiece. Carved out of stone, the head depicts Zeus-Oromandes with his distinctive moustache and beard, exuding power and wisdom. Perched on top is an eagle, symbolizing strength and divine connection. This artwork is part of a larger funerary monument constructed by King Antiochus I of Commagene as a tribute to himself and his deified ancestors. Located at Mount Nemrut, it stands as a testament to their legacy. The colossal size of this tumulus adds to its magnificence; it serves as both mausoleum and sanctuary for worshipers seeking proximity with these godlike figures from Greek mythology. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous work through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor that once graced Anatolia's landscape—a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with gods and legends that have shaped our collective imagination throughout history.
