EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable plate from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, showcasing an exquisite depiction of a quadriga and Apollo between two women. The plate itself dates back to the 3rd century BC, representing the rich history and artistic prowess of the Greco-Roman era. At first glance, one's eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic quadriga - a four-horse chariot - which stands as a symbol of power and triumph. It is beautifully adorned with intricate details that highlight its terrestrial origin. The horses themselves exude strength and grace, their muscular bodies captured in perfect motion. In the center of this grand scene stands Apollo, radiating divine energy with his nude male form. As the Greek god associated with music, poetry, and prophecy among other domains, he commands attention through his commanding presence. Flanking Apollo on either side are two enchanting female figures who embody both beauty and strength. These women possess an Amazonian quality about them – fierce warriors who were revered for their courage in battle. Their elegant postures suggest they are engaged in conversation or perhaps celebrating some momentous occasion alongside Apollo. Surrounding this central composition is an array of vegetal elements that add depth to the artwork. Lush greenery intertwines gracefully throughout, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Through this photograph by Brogi from Alinari, we have been granted access to a timeless masterpiece that encapsulates various facets of ancient mythology and artistry. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries while reminding us of our enduring fascination with fantastical creatures like mythical horses and gods from long ago civilizations.
