EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing battle scene from ancient times. The detailed marble carving, dating back to the 2nd century AD, showcases the artistic prowess of Roman craftsmen. Displayed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this monumental frieze commemorates Emperor Lucius Verus and his triumph over the Parthians. In this particular detail of the artwork, we are transported into the heart of the action. A Roman soldier wearing an intricately carved helmet stands tall on his horse, ready to face off against a group of fierce barbarians. The high relief technique used in this sculpture adds depth and intensity to every figure portrayed. The horses depicted in this scene exude power and grace as they charge forward with determination. Amidst all the chaos, there is also a glimpse of wildlife - perhaps symbolizing nature's indifference towards human conflicts. This remarkable carving serves as a testament to both historical events and artistic excellence. It reminds us of ancient battles fought by brave soldiers who risked their lives for glory and conquest. As we admire this masterpiece captured by Ali Meyer and made available through Bridgeman Images, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved these moments throughout time for us to appreciate today.
