EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece of Greek art, the head of a young man known as "Ephebe blond". Carved from marble and originating from the Acropolis of Athens in 480 BC, this exquisite sculpture measures 25 cm in height. Currently housed at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, it is an iconic representation of ancient Greek culture. The intricate details captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini highlight the skill and craftsmanship involved in creating this work of art. The smoothness of the marble and delicate facial features bring this young man to life, evoking a sense of youthfulness and beauty. The term "Ephebe" refers to a young male who has reached adolescence but is not yet considered an adult. This particular depiction showcases his fair hair color, earning him the name "Ephebe blond". It serves as a testament to the importance placed on physical appearance during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece. We can almost imagine ourselves standing before this remarkable sculpture within the walls of Athen's majestic Acropolis. Through its timeless beauty and artistic excellence, it reminds us of our shared human history and cultural heritage.
