Ashmolean Zeus Pop Art
Referred to as the Artemision Bronze, the original ancient Greek sculpture was recovered from the sea off Cape Artemision in Greece. The sculpture’s head, now an icon of ancient Hellenic culture, was the subject of a Greek postage stamp and a drachma banknote.
Whilst opinion seems divided between the statue representing Zeus or Poseidon, most consider it to be Zeus as it’s a larger version of a series of smaller figurines, all of which strike the same pose to represent the king of the gods.
The Ashmolean pop art prints are available in three sizes & 12 colours to choose from, closely matched to The Treasured Collection of paints by Graphenstone inspired by the Ashmolean’s exhibits, so you can curate your own personalised art collection and bring a small piece of the distinguished Museum into your home.
The collection includes three prints of the exterior, celebrating Cockerell’s classical frontage, and three prints of the Museum’s interiors, capturing that special feeling of discovery that comes from a promenade through the exhibitions of an expertly-curated and historically important Museum.
This print is part of the Ashmolean pop art collection. The stylish pop art prints feature Art & Hue’s signature halftone style (halftone is an age-old technique that uses dots to make up the printed image, similar to newspapers or comic books).
Also available as part of a group of three and six.
Exclusively by Art & Hue, the Ashmolean pop art prints are printed to order on museum-quality archival card of 310gsm, made from 100% ethically-sourced cotton, with fine-art pigment inks for longevity.
