EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze relief titled "Cretan gods waving cymbals" dating back to 720-680 BC. The artwork, created by an ancient Greek artist from the 8th century BC, is currently housed in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion in Crete, Greece. The image depicts a scene from Greek mythology known as dedalic art. In this intricate bronze cymbal decoration, Zeus is surrounded by Curetes (or Couretes or Kouretes), who are Cretan gods joyfully waving their cymbals. The composition exudes a sense of divine music and celebration. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this piece are truly remarkable. Every curve and line on the relief has been meticulously carved to bring these mythological characters to life. It serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of ancient Greek artists. As we gaze upon this relic from antiquity, we are transported back in time to witness the power and beauty of Greek mythology firsthand. This artifact not only represents an important part of our cultural heritage but also offers us a glimpse into the musical traditions that were cherished during that era. Luisa Ricciarini's photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary bronze relief with precision and clarity, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more deeply.
