EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Galloping horse" bronze sculpture, a remarkable piece of Roman art. The sculpture measures 51x45 cm and is housed in the Museo de Arte Romano in Merida, Badajoz, Spain. Created by an unknown artist during the Roman Empire, this artwork depicts a majestic horse caught mid-gallop. Upon closer inspection, one can notice that the horse appears injured with drops of blood adorning its body. It is speculated that it may have once had a rider on its back which has since been lost to time. Additionally, two front legs and the back leg at knee height are missing from this ancient masterpiece. The photograph beautifully captures both the intricate details of this bronze sculpture and its sense of movement. The craftsmanship is evident as every muscle and sinew of the galloping horse comes to life through expert carving techniques. As we delve into history through archaeology, this artwork serves as a testament to Roman ingenuity and artistic prowess. Its presence in the Museo Nacional de Arte Romano allows visitors to appreciate not only its beauty but also gain insight into Hispano-Roman culture. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography immortalizes this extraordinary piece for all art enthusiasts to admire worldwide.
