EDITORS COMMENTS
The South Frieze of the Parthenon, a magnificent masterpiece of ancient Greek art, is showcased in this photograph from the British Museum in London. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this low relief marble sculpture is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient Greeks during the Classical Age. The South Frieze, carved from Pentelic marble, is a part of the Panathenaic procession scene that adorned the exterior of the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. This particular section of the frieze depicts a cavalcade of horsemen and their horses in a state of dynamic motion, reflecting the power and grandeur of ancient Greek military might. The intricate details of the horsemen and their mounts are beautifully rendered in the Ionic style, with each figure in the scene exhibiting a unique expression and posture. The horses, too, are portrayed with remarkable realism, their muscles taut and veins bulging as they gallop forward. The South Frieze was removed from the Parthenon during the 19th century, a controversial act that led to the Elgin Marbles controversy and their eventual relocation to the British Museum. Today, this ancient artwork continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, serving as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Greece. This photograph, taken at the British Museum, offers a glimpse into the intricacies and beauty of the South Frieze, inviting us to explore the world of ancient Greece and the artistic masterpieces that have endured through the ages.
