EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece, specifically Aphrodite (Venus) from Soli Cyprus. Dating back to the 1st century BC, this image captures the essence of beauty and divinity that was revered in Greek culture. The female likeness portrayed here represents not only physical attractiveness but also embodies religious significance. The stunning color and detail of this portrait highlight the craftsmanship of the artist who created it centuries ago. Aphrodite, known as the goddess of love and beauty, is depicted in her naked form, symbolizing purity and vulnerability. This portrayal invites viewers to contemplate both their own human nature and their connection to higher powers. Located in Cyprus, a country rich with historical significance, this artifact serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted religious beliefs held by ancient Greeks. It offers us a glimpse into their concept of deity worship and provides insight into their cultural values. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate an extraordinary piece of history while acknowledging its artistic value. As we gaze upon Aphrodite's serene expression and graceful posture captured by Mike Dixon's lens, we are reminded that beauty transcends time - an eternal testament to human creativity and reverence for divine beings like Venus herself.
