EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman copy of the Greek original sculpture depicting Penthesilea, the legendary Amazonian queen. Created around 160 BC by the Art of Ancient Rome, this classical masterpiece is now housed in the esteemed collection of the Antikenmuseum Basel. Penthesilea stands as a symbol of strength and femininity, embodying the mythical tales of Greek mythology. As an Amazon warrior, she played a significant role in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. Her presence in this artwork evokes thoughts of bravery and power that were revered during ancient times. Crafted from marble with exquisite attention to detail, this fine art piece exemplifies classical antiquities at their finest. The delicate curves and lifelike features capture both the grace and determination that define Penthesilea's character. The sculpture also serves as an allegory for literature enthusiasts who appreciate stories like those found within Homer's Trojan War narratives. It transports viewers back to an era where mythological figures roamed ancient lands and engaged in heroic battles. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print offers a glimpse into one of Rome's most treasured sculptures while celebrating the enduring allure of Greek mythology.
