EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Caryatids Portico, showcasing the figures of the Six Maidens at the iconic Erechtheion in Athens, Greece. Bathed in glorious sunshine, these ancient sculptures stand proudly as a testament to Greece's rich tradition and heritage. The dilapidated yet enchanting exterior of this historical landmark adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The row of maidens, each adorned in flowing robes, holds up the roof with remarkable strength and grace. Their stone work displays exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time despite being neglected over centuries. As a tourist attraction, this gathering of only women draws visitors from all corners of the world who are captivated by its archaeological significance. Against a backdrop of contemporary architecture and Mediterranean charm, these caryatids symbolize both strength and femininity. They serve as a reminder of an ancient civilization that once thrived on this very land. Photographed during morning hours, their colorful attire stands out against the horizon while blending harmoniously with their surroundings. This horizontal composition allows for every intricate detail to be captured - from their facial expressions to their delicate hand gestures. Guy Thouvenin/Robert Harding's skillful photography brings forth not just an image but also a glimpse into history - where culture meets artistry atop rooftops in Europe's most beloved travel destination: Athens, Greece.
