EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable masterpiece of Greek civilization, Demeter and Iris by Phidias. From the east gable of the Parthenon in Athens, this sculpture crafted from Pentelic marble dates back to 447-440 B. C. , representing the pinnacle of artistry during the 5th century B. C. Despite its damaged state, captured against a striking black background in a studio shot, this image evokes a sense of awe and admiration for ancient Greek mythology. The decapitated figures of Demeter and Iris stand as testaments to both their divine power and vulnerability. Phidias' genius is evident in his ability to capture every intricate detail with precision, even though parts remain incomplete. This horizontal composition allows us to appreciate the female likeness portrayed through these classical Greek goddesses. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its historical importance. The Parthenon itself stands as an enduring symbol of Athenian culture and architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to ancient Greece – a time when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently, inspiring artists like Phidias to create timeless masterpieces that continue to captivate our imagination today.
