EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the timeless beauty and grace of Hermes of Olympia, also known as Hermes carrying Dionysos as a child. The sculpture, attributed to the legendary Praxiteles, is a symbol of ancient Greek artistry and mythology.
The illustration serves as an illustrated sticker for the AOHNAI Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Greece. The intricate details and delicate lines bring this allegorical scene to life, depicting Hermes with his iconic winged sandals cradling the infant Dionysus in his arms.
As we gaze upon this image from the late nineteenth century, we are transported back to a time when gods and goddesses roamed the earth, inspiring awe and wonder in all who beheld them. The fusion of antiquity and artistry is evident in every stroke of this engraving, capturing the essence of Greek mythology with unparalleled skill.
Hermes stands tall as a symbol of communication and travel, while Dionysus represents revelry and ecstasy. Together, they embody the duality of human nature - both rational and instinctual. This engraving is not just a work of art; it is a window into another world where gods walked among mortals, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire us today.
