EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient sculpture known as the "Group of Aphrodite, Pan and Eros". Carved from Paian marble around 100 BC, this masterpiece was discovered in the House of the Poseidoniastai of Beryttos (Beirut), Delos. The statue depicts a gripping mythological scene where the nude goddess Aphrodite finds herself confronted by Pan, the god with goat-like features. In her right hand, she brandishes her sandal threateningly while seeking protection from Eros, the winged god who comes to her aid. Traces of color can still be discerned on various parts of this artwork, adding an additional layer of intrigue to its already mesmerizing composition. Standing tall and vertical, this sculpture captures both male and female likenesses flawlessly. It serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during ancient Greece's golden age. This studio shot beautifully highlights every intricate detail present in this historical artifact. With no people visible in the frame, all attention is drawn solely towards these mythical figures frozen in time. The inclusion of animal representation further enhances our understanding of Greek mythology's rich tapestry. As we gaze upon this image captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to an era where gods and goddesses walked among mortals - a reminder that even after centuries have passed, their stories continue to captivate us with their timeless allure.
