EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Greek sculpture. The image captures the majestic "Head of a horse from the Chariot of Selene" that once adorned the east pediment of the Parthenon, an iconic temple in Athens. Created between 447-432 BC, this masterpiece reflects the artistic brilliance and attention to detail prevalent during Greece's golden age. Carved from marble, this stunning sculpture depicts a horse's head with remarkable precision and lifelike qualities. Every intricate feature, from its expressive eyes to its flowing mane, is meticulously rendered by skilled hands. The artist skillfully captures both the strength and grace inherent in these magnificent creatures. The Chariot of Selene refers to Greek mythology where Selene, goddess of the moon, would ride across the night sky in her chariot pulled by horses. This artwork pays homage to that mythical tale while also serving as a symbol of power and beauty. Preserved through centuries, this ancient artifact now serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we contemplate how such mastery was achieved without modern tools or technology. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one fragmentary but significant piece of Greece's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human civilization – transcending time and connecting us with our past.
