EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin from 310-305 BCE, depicting the revered Goddess Persephone. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient artifact takes us back to the glorious era of Ancient Greece and its rich mythology. The coin's close-up shot reveals intricate details on a grey background, emphasizing the beauty and craftsmanship of this historical piece. Persephone, also known as Proserpina or Proserpine in Roman mythology, was a significant figure associated with both fertility and the underworld. As Queen of the Underworld and daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she symbolized the cycle of life and death. This coin served not only as currency but also as a religious object representing divine power. The image is presented in letterbox format, allowing viewers to appreciate every aspect of this remarkable artwork. Its silver color adds an air of regality while reflecting its value during that time period. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures our attention with its historical significance. It reminds us how art can transcend time, connecting us to ancient civilizations through their beliefs and traditions. Through this studio shot taken by Heritage Images, we are transported into an era where coins were not merely means for trade but vessels carrying stories from distant lands.
