EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the ancient Greek archaeological site of Mycenae stands proudly against the backdrop of the Peloponnese countryside in Greece, as the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the ruins. Dating back to the second millennium BC, Mycenae was an essential centre of Greek civilization and is legendarily linked to the Trojan War. The image, captured by acclaimed photographer Ethel Davies in the early 2000s, showcases the rich history and timeless beauty of this ancient city. The vibrant colors of the landscape contrast sharply with the weathered stones of the ruins, creating a stunning visual juxtaposition. The iconic Lion Gate, a monumental entrance to the citadel, is clearly visible, its intricate carvings still captivating visitors after thousands of years. Mycenae was once a powerful and prosperous city, with a complex network of palaces, temples, and tombs. The site is a testament to the ingenuity and artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. As the sun begins to set, the shadows grow longer, and the ruins take on an ethereal quality, inviting us to imagine the stories and secrets they hold. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of ancient Greece and the importance of preserving its rich history for future generations. Ethel Davies' masterful composition and use of light and color bring the past to life, making it a truly captivating and inspiring work of art. Mycenae, Peloponnisos, Greece, 2003. An ancient city steeped in history and legend, captured in all its glory by Ethel Davies.
