EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a frieze from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of ancient Greece. The focal point of this image is an exquisite depiction of galloping chariot horses, frozen in time with their powerful legs mid-stride. Despite its broken state, this fragment exudes simplicity and elegance through its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. The vertical composition emphasizes the height and grandeur that these majestic creatures once possessed on the original frieze. Against a serene grey background, these horse figures stand out even more prominently as they symbolize strength, speed, and freedom. As we admire this archaeological treasure captured in studio lighting, it transports us back to an era long gone – reminding us of our connection to the past. This artwork represents not only animal representation but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on these three objects - fragments that have survived centuries of wear and tear. This print by Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us to appreciate both the beauty and significance held within such artifacts while igniting our curiosity about ancient civilizations like Greece.
