EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artefact from the National Archaeological Museum in Athens - a Cycladic harp-player made of Parthian marble. The sculpture, dating back to the 25th century BC, is beautifully displayed against a striking black background, allowing its exquisite details and vibrant colours to truly shine. In this studio shot image, we see a male figure sitting gracefully while playing a stringed instrument known as a harp. The craftsmanship of this Cycladic piece is awe-inspiring; every curve and contour meticulously carved with precision. As we admire the smoothness of the marble and intricate design, it becomes evident that music has always been an integral part of human expression throughout history. The man depicted here seems lost in his own world of melody and rhythm. His posture exudes tranquility and concentration as he plucks at the strings with skillful fingers. This artwork serves as a testament to the timeless power of music to transport us into realms beyond words. Greece's rich cultural heritage comes alive through this musical object, reminding us of its significant contribution to arts and civilization. With its harmonious blend of form and function, this ancient artifact continues to inspire contemporary musicians and enthusiasts alike. Captured by CM Dixon's lens with utmost care for detail, this photograph preserves not only an extraordinary archaeological find but also invites us into an immersive experience where past meets present through artistry and sound.
