Title
Diver Two
Artist
Troy Caperton
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Second in a series of eight works from the Tomb of the Diver. This tomb was created in about 480 Before the Common Era and was discovered in 1968.
Troy Caperton has restored eight images taken from the tomb and presents them here for your consideration. Any lover of Classical Greece or of the lifestyle of the Ancients will find this series fascinating.
The second panel is taken from the roof of the tomb and depicts a naked boy diving into a pool of water. The images gives the name for the entire tomb. The diver is depicted in flight, almost certainly a metaphor for the journey of the soul from one life to the next, a dive into the unknown, into the purifying eternal waters of the universe. This is perhaps related to the purification symbols of Pythagorean philosophy which preached the reincarnation of the soul.
