EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the ancient city of Soli in Cyprus - the Statuette of Aphrodite. Dating back to the 1st century BC, this exquisite statue is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this country. Standing tall and proud against a black background, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is depicted in all her divine glory. The statuette portrays a female figure with delicate features and an air of elegance. Her nakedness symbolizes purity and vulnerability while also emphasizing her status as a deity. The color palette used in this image adds depth and dimension to every curve and contour of the sculpture. As we gaze upon this studio shot, we are transported back in time to an era where religious beliefs held great significance for people's lives. This artifact serves as a tangible connection between our present-day world and the ancient civilization that worshipped Aphrodite. Preserved within Nicosia's Archaeological Museum collection, this statuette offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It stands as a reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to glimpse into past civilizations' beliefs and values. With its meticulous attention to detail captured by photographer CM Dixon, this image invites us on a visual journey through history – one that celebrates both human creativity and spiritual devotion.
