EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Greek art from 570 BC. The image captures two marble horses, fragments of a quadrige, which were found in Athens and are now housed in the Acropolis Museum. Created by an unknown Greek artist during the 6th century BC, these sculptures represent a remarkable example of ancient craftsmanship. The horses' elegant forms and intricate details demonstrate the mastery of carving skills prevalent during this period. Despite being fragmented, their graceful postures and lifelike expressions evoke a sense of movement and vitality. These sculptures were originally part of a metope, illustrating scenes from Greek mythology or historical events. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a time when horses played an integral role in daily life as well as in mythological tales. Their significance is evident not only through their depiction but also through their symbolic representation of power, strength, and nobility. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every delicate curve and chiseled detail with utmost clarity. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
