EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic grave stele with a poignant scene of dexiosis, or farewell. Dating back to the mid-4th century BC in ancient Greece, this marble funerary monument depicts the deceased seated and bidding her loved ones adieu. The emotional moment is beautifully captured as she gestures towards her departing guests while a maidservant stands behind, holding a pyxis. The intricate details of this artwork are truly remarkable. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate the delicate craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. Every line and curve on the marble surface tells a story of love, loss, and remembrance. As we delve deeper into this image, we can't help but be drawn to the male and female likenesses portrayed on the stele. Their presence adds depth and meaning to the scene, reminding us of their connection with the departed soul. This photograph transports us back in time to ancient Greece when ceramics were adorned with such artistic brilliance. It invites us to contemplate life's fleeting nature and reflect upon our own mortality. Intriguingly devoid of people within its frame, this print focuses solely on capturing an intimate moment frozen in time - one that transcends centuries and speaks volumes about human emotions.
