EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Kore figure dedicated by Cheramyes to Hera, discovered in the Sanctuary of Hera on the island of Samos. Created during the 6th century BC, this marble sculpture stands at an impressive height of 192 cm and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident as we observe this richly dressed young woman. Her pleated garments, consisting of a chiton and himation, gracefully drape her body, emphasizing her feminine form. The intricate folds and delicate drapery add depth and realism to the sculpture. As we delve into its historical significance, it becomes apparent that this piece represents an archaic style prevalent during ancient Greece. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and religious devotion of Cheramyes towards Hera, one of the most revered goddesses in Greek mythology. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also gain insight into ancient Greek culture. This image invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and cultural significance embodied within this Kore figure dedicated to Hera.
