EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Amazon, from one of my vases, where she is represented fighting with a griffin". Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image depicts an Amazon warrior engaged in an intense battle with a fierce griffin. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly impressive. The artist has captured the essence of ancient costume and dress, showcasing classical fashion and clothing worn by the Amazons. Of particular interest are the round disks adorning the warrior's belt, which may symbolize coins similar to those still used today by inhabitants living along the borders of the Red Sea. This illustration was originally featured in Thomas Hope's book "Costume of the Ancients" published in 1841. It offers viewers a glimpse into ancient times and allows us to appreciate both their unique style and their fierce spirit. The clash between these two formidable creatures evokes feelings of conflict, confrontation, and bravery. As they confront each other on this intricately engraved vase, we can almost hear their battle cries echoing through time. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning piece as part of its Fine Art Finder collection – an exquisite representation that pays homage to ancient warriors while celebrating artistry and historical fashion trends.
