EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring Quadriga sculpture, a masterpiece by German artist Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850). The Quadriga, meaning a chariot drawn by four horses, is a symbol of victory and is depicted here with the goddess Victoria at the helm. This particular copy is a replica of the original created in 1793, which stands proudly atop the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany. The intricate detail of the sculpture is evident in this print, with each muscle of the powerful horses and the flowing robes of Victoria meticulously rendered. The horses' manes and tails are swept back in the wind, adding a sense of motion and energy to the piece. Victoria, with her wings outstretched and a victorious expression on her face, exudes confidence and strength. The chariot itself is adorned with various symbols of victory and mythology, including an eagle and a cross. The sky above is cloudy, adding a sense of drama and mystery to the scene. The copper and iron materials of the original sculpture are beautifully captured in this print, making it a faithful representation of the original. The Quadriga has a rich history, having been originally commissioned by the Prussian King Frederick William II in the late 18th century. It has become an iconic symbol of Berlin and Germany, representing the city's resilience and triumph over adversity. This print is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of Schadow's masterpiece.
