EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable sculpture prize titled "The Hours leading the Horses of the Sun" by Mr. A. Brown in 1845. Created as a bas relief by a talented student at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts in London, this masterpiece earned Mr. A. Brown a well-deserved gold medal for his exceptional composition in sculpture. The intricately detailed artwork depicts an enchanting scene from Greek mythology, featuring deities and majestic horses pulling a chariot across the heavens. The central figure, measuring an impressive two feet in height, represents Phaethon or Phaeton, who is entrusted with guiding the sun god's chariot through the sky. With its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, this bas relief transports viewers back to 19th-century Britain when art was celebrated as both religious devotion and cultural expression. The artist skillfully captures both male and female figures surrounding Phaethon, symbolizing various aspects of time passing as they lead the magnificent horses on their celestial journey. Preserved within an engraving featured in "Illustrated London News". Volume VII of 1845, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's appreciation for artistry and mythology during that era. As we admire this extraordinary piece today, we are reminded of how art transcends time and continues to inspire generations with its beauty and storytelling prowess.
