EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of history - the Archaic bronze lion from Dodona. This majestic animal sculpture, dating back to the 6th century BC, was discovered in the sanctuary of Zeus at Dodona and now resides in the Museum of Ionnina, Epirus. The image beautifully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable artifact. The lion's stoic expression and powerful stance evoke a sense of awe and reverence. Its carefully crafted bronze body reflects the skill and artistry of ancient craftsmen. The vibrant colors showcased in this studio shot bring life to this ancient masterpiece. The warm hues highlight the lion's regal presence, while also adding depth to its form. It is truly a testament to the enduring beauty that can be found within archaeological treasures. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when Dodona served as a sacred oracle site dedicated to Zeus himself. This lion would have stood as a guardian symbolizing strength and protection within these hallowed grounds. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, we are able to admire this extraordinary piece without having visited the museum ourselves. Their expertise has allowed us access into a world long gone but not forgotten – reminding us of our rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
