EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail of the west pediment of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The drawing, created by Jaques Carrey in 1674, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of this ancient architectural masterpiece before it was tragically damaged by an explosion in 1687. In this particular section of the pediment, we see a mesmerizing scene unfold. A man on horseback takes center stage, his powerful presence commanding attention. He is accompanied by a woman who stands gracefully beside him, their figures exuding elegance and poise. The intricate relief work brings these characters to life with astonishing realism. The frieze surrounding them tells a story from Greek mythology or history; each figure seems to have its own narrative to share. This snapshot captures just one moment within that larger tale – frozen in time for us to marvel at centuries later.
