EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of a rider on horseback, dating back to the 2nd century BC. The bronze sculpture, titled "Horse and jockey" is an exquisite example of Greek artistry and can be found in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The photograph captures the intensity and skill of both the horse and its rider as they navigate an obstacle with grace and precision. The viewer is immediately drawn to the intricate carving that brings this ancient masterpiece to life. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line etched into the bronze, from the contours of the horse's powerful muscles to the determination etched onto the jockey's face. This piece hails from Cape Artemision in Greece, further adding to its historical significance. It serves as a testament not only to Greek artistic prowess but also their admiration for equestrian sports during that era. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this extraordinary work through her lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot witness it firsthand. This print invites viewers into a world where time stands still, offering a glimpse into ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage.
