EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Bronze statue of a horse and young jockey, dating back to approximately 140 BC. Recovered from the shipwreck off Cape Artemision in Euboea, this masterpiece is famously known as the "Artemision Jockey". The sculpture exudes an air of ancient Greece, transporting us back to a time when courage and attitude were highly valued traits. The intricate details of the bronze workmanship are awe-inspiring, capturing both the strength and grace of the majestic horse alongside its youthful rider. Displayed vertically in a museum setting, this single object stands as a testament to human representation through art. The male likeness on horseback evokes images of skilled equestrianism prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this artifact, we can't help but marvel at how it has withstood the test of time. It serves as a tangible link to our past, reminding us of our connection to ancient civilizations and their artistic achievements. The photograph captures every nuance and texture with precision, allowing us to appreciate each stroke made by its creator over two millennia ago. With no people present in the frame, we are left alone with our thoughts while contemplating this extraordinary piece. This image invites us into an indoor space where history comes alive before our eyes. Its significance lies not only in its archaeological value but also in its ability to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about life in ancient Greece.
