EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of a remarkable piece of Greek art housed in the National Museum in Athens. Titled "Echelos lifting the cart with Basileo" this low relief sculpture transports viewers to ancient Greece, immersing them in its rich mythology and divine tales. The photograph showcases a male figure, Echelos, depicted in all his nude glory as he exerts his strength to lift a heavy cart alongside Basileo, a female companion. The intricate details of their sculpted bodies are brought to life through the lens of Alinari, Fratelli's camera. Dating back to 490-430 BC, this artwork is not only an exquisite example of Greco-Roman craftsmanship but also offers insight into daily life during that era. It portrays scenes from land transportation as Echelos strains against gravity while maneuvering the cart on an unknown road. The composition and method employed by the artist highlight their mastery over stone carving techniques. The delicate yet powerful lines etched into the marble create a sense of movement and emotion within this static medium. As one gazes upon this print, they can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both physical labor and divine intervention within its frame. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression that has stood the test of time for centuries. Alinari's photographic rendition allows us to appreciate every nuance captured by light and shadow. This image beckons us closer, inviting us on an immersive journey through ancient civilization where gods walked among mortals and sculptures breathed life into stone.
