EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble sculpture, titled "Group of Aphrodite and Pan," is a prime example of Hellenistic art originating from the Cycladic island of Delos in Greece. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, this masterpiece showcases the mythological encounter between the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, and the god of nature and the wild, Pan. Aphrodite, depicted in her mature form, is gracefully seated on a rock, her voluptuous body draped in a flowing robe. Her left hand rests on her thigh, while her right hand holds a mirror, reflecting her own divine image. Pan, identified by his horns, goat legs, and pipe, stands before Aphrodite, gazing at her with admiration. His left hand reaches out to touch her shoulder, while his right hand holds a branch of ivy, symbolizing love and fertility. The intricate details of the sculpture are a testament to the advanced artistic techniques of the Hellenistic period. The smooth, polished surface of the marble, the lifelike expressions on the faces of the figures, and the delicate rendering of their clothing and accessories all contribute to the captivating allure of this work. The Group of Aphrodite and Pan was discovered on the sacred island of Delos, which was renowned for its ancient temples and sanctuaries dedicated to various deities. Delos was a significant cultural and religious center in ancient Greece, and this sculpture is a reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of this remarkable civilization.
