EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Athena, often given the epithet Pallas, ancient Greek goddess" transports us back to the enchanting world of ancient Greece. Created by Pieter Bodart in 1768, this print showcases Athena, a revered deity associated with wisdom, handicrafts, and warfare. In this portrait-like depiction, Athena dons a striking helmet atop her head while draped in an animal skin robe. A brooch featuring the fearsome head of Medusa adorns her attire, symbolizing her power and protection. Her hair is intricately styled into serpents that add an air of mystique to her divine presence. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we are reminded of the rich mythology and pagan beliefs that once shaped human understanding. Athena's portrayal here exudes both strength and femininity as she embodies qualities admired by ancient Greeks. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his copperplate engraving technique. The delicate lines capture the essence of Athena's heavenly divinity while paying homage to classical antiquity. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into a time when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with mythological figures like Athena—a reminder that their stories continue to captivate our imaginations even today.
