This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Altar of Zeus from Pergamon, dating back to 180-159 BC. The Altar, currently housed in the esteemed Pergamon Museum in Berlin, is a true testament to the artistic brilliance and craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. In this particular section captured by CM Dixon, we are treated to an exquisite stone relief sculpture that depicts a grand procession. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into the stone, bringing forth a sense of life and movement within the artwork.
