EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art: "The Birth of Venus Coming out of the Waves Supported by the Hours". The relief, known as the Ludovisi Throne, originates from Locri and dates back to 460-450 BC. Its dimensions measure an impressive 104.1x144 cm. Displayed in Rome's Museo Nazionale Romano (Palazzo Altemps), this marble relief depicts the birth of Aphrodite, also known as Venus, emerging gracefully from the sea waves. She is supported by mythical figures called the Hours, who surround her with their ethereal presence. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship evident in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour has been meticulously carved into the marble surface, bringing life to this ancient mythological scene. Originally housed in Rome's Villa Ludovisi (Horti Sallustiani), this masterpiece now finds its home within Museo Nazionale Romano where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. Photographed by Luisa Ricciarini for Fine Art Finder, this image perfectly captures the essence and grandeur of Greek art. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with mythology. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a divine birth that symbolizes love, beauty, and eternal grace.
