EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a Greek bronze horseman, wearing the iconic Corinthian armor. Hailing from Grumentum in Italy, this artifact is now housed in the esteemed British Museum's collection. Against a striking black background, the intricate craftsmanship and rich color of the bronze come to life. The horseman exudes an air of power and nobility as he sits confidently on his majestic steed. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every muscle and sinew expertly rendered by the skilled ancient Greek sculptor. The Corinthian helmet adorning his head adds an extra layer of grandeur to his appearance. This image transports us back to ancient Greece, where warfare was not only a means of survival but also an art form. It serves as a reminder that horses played a crucial role in battle during those times – loyal companions who carried their riders fearlessly into war. As we admire this artifact through the lens of modern photography, we are reminded of how history continues to shape our present understanding and appreciation for artistry and culture. This print captures not just an object but also evokes emotions tied to concepts such as bravery, honor, and legacy. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we can explore these treasures from afar while still experiencing their beauty up close.
