EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to ancient Greece, where the magnificent Parthenon frieze comes to life. Against a striking black background, we are immersed in the intricate details of this masterful artwork. The focal point of the image is a group of men with a chariot, frozen in time as they reach their destination. The apobates has gracefully descended from the chariot and stands confidently on a rock, his presence commanding attention. Meanwhile, the skilled charioteer leans back as he exerts all his strength on the reins, guiding both horse and vehicle towards victory. Every element in this scene speaks volumes about ancient Greek culture and artistry. The charioteer's flowing chiton adorned with bands tied crosswise showcases not only fashion but also practicality for swift movement during races. A marshal turns back to signal the end of an exhilarating race, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation. This studio shot captures every nuance of this remarkable frieze found at Athens' iconic Parthenon temple. Its horizontal composition allows us to appreciate its grandeur while highlighting each figure's male likeness and animal representation. As we gaze upon this incomplete yet awe-inspiring piece of art, we are reminded once again why ancient Greek architecture continues to captivate our imagination even after centuries have passed.
