EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mythical realm of Hades, the god of the underworld in Greek mythology. In this vertical panoramic shot, we are transported to a winter landscape covered in glistening snow, evoking a sense of cold and stillness. The absence of people allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this ancient world where gods reigned supreme. The artist's skillful illustration and painting bring forth an allegorical scene that depicts Hades, also known as Pluto in Roman mythology, seated on his fiery throne. Dressed in historical clothing that reflects his divine status, Hades exudes power and authority as he presides over the afterlife. Contrasting with the icy surroundings is Demeter, goddess of agriculture and fertility. Her presence symbolizes life amidst death as she stands beside Hades' burning throne. This juxtaposition highlights the eternal cycle between seasons and reinforces their interconnectedness within Greek mythology. This artful composition not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient Rome and Greece. It invites us to explore these rich mythological narratives while appreciating the craftsmanship behind this stunning piece.
