EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite terracotta sculpture of Persephone, dating back to around 300 BC. Created by the Greek School in the 4th century, this masterpiece is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Aidone della Dea Morgantina in Sicily, Italy. The museum itself offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient history, featuring not only acroliths and artifacts but also the goddess of Morgantina herself. Visitors can marvel at an array of heads, vases, health accessories, busts, and metopes that provide valuable insights into life during that time period. Persephone stands gracefully as a symbol of Greek mythology and ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage. The statue portrays her draped in flowing garments with intricate drapery details skillfully captured by Giulio Azzarello's lens. Her presence evokes thoughts of mystery and intrigue as she represents both fertility and death due to her association with the underworld. This statuette serves as a reminder of how myths intertwine with reality and how they continue to captivate our imaginations even today. Giulio Azzarello's photograph beautifully captures every delicate curve and detail of this remarkable artwork. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within Greek culture.
