EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf from the Lampadii diptych, an exquisite ivory artwork dating back to 355 AD. Created by Roman artisans in the 4th century, this piece is currently housed in the Museo Cristiano in Brescia, Italy. The image depicts a consul and his family opening the games at the Hippodrome in Constantinople. The relief sculpture captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as competitors prepare for a chariot race. The intricate details of horses, chariots, and athletes are beautifully rendered on the ivory surface. This ancient masterpiece not only highlights artistic skill but also provides insight into Roman culture's fascination with sports and competition. With its out-of-copyright status, this photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate line and contour of this historical artifact. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with human experiences throughout history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be transported back to ancient times when horse-drawn races were celebrated events filled with adrenaline-pumping action.
