EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Athena, Minerva, Atlas" takes us on a journey through ancient mythology and history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration originates from William Smith's renowned book "A Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography" published in 1878. It beautifully depicts three significant figures: Athena, Minerva, and Atlas. In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and warfare while Minerva holds similar attributes in Roman mythology. Both are powerful female deities revered for their intellect and strength. The presence of Atlas adds another layer to the narrative as he was known for carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. With intricate details etched into every line, this engraving transports us back to a time when paganism thrived across Europe. It serves as a reminder of our rich religious heritage rooted in polytheism. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can't help but appreciate its significance within European culture. From Greece to Italy's Latium region to Rome itself - these mythological characters have left an indelible mark on history. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece from the late 19th century with utmost care. Through their efforts, we are able to delve into centuries past and immerse ourselves in the beauty of classical artistry.
