EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble sculpture of a kouros, dating back to around 600 BC. The image captures the head and lower right arm of this colossal statue, which was discovered in Athens near the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos area. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every inch of this ancient artwork. The kouros stands tall and proud, its full-length figure exuding power and strength. Carved from island marble, it is adorned with intricate patterns that speak to the wealth and opulence of ancient Greece. Although damaged over time, this studio shot allows us to appreciate the beauty that remains. Set against a striking blue background, the vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur of this single object. This male likeness represents an important aspect of art and craft from the 7th century BC - human representation at its finest. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are transported back to an era where such sculptures were revered as monuments to gods or heroes. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and how art can transcend time itself.
