EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Greek art, showcasing a print of the "Goddess of Morgantina, possibly Aphrodite, Demeter, Persephone, or Hera". Created by an unknown Greek artist in the 5th century BC, this masterpiece now resides in the Archaeological Museum of Aidone della Dea Morgantina in Sicily. Standing at an impressive height of 2.2 meters tall, this acrolith sculpture is shrouded in mystery as to which goddess it represents. Some speculate that it could be Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty; others suggest Demeter or Persephone due to their association with fertility and agriculture. There are even whispers that it might depict Hera, queen of the gods. The museum itself is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts. Alongside this enigmatic statue are various artifacts including heads, vases, health accessories, busts, and metopes. It offers visitors a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and showcases their mastery in sculpting lifelike figures. Morgantina's archaeological site holds immense significance as well. The Museo Archeologico di Aidone stands within its grounds and serves as a gateway to explore this rich historical landscape. Giulio Azzarello's skillful photography beautifully captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this timeless artwork while inviting viewers to delve deeper into its fascinating origins.
