EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a Greek car or chariot used in the games, offering us a glimpse into ancient sporting events. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The intricate details and skillful execution of this artwork transport us back to a time when classical fashion and dress were at their peak. The illustration was originally featured in Thomas Hope's book "Costume of the Ancients" published by Henry G Bohn in 1841. It serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the clothing and attire worn by ancient Greeks during various occasions, particularly during games and competitions. The Greek car or chariot depicted here is not only visually stunning but also symbolizes the spirit of competition that defined these historical events. As we admire this piece, we can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the excitement emanating from spectators cheering on their favorite athletes. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, we have access to this remarkable representation of ancient Greek culture. This image allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and gain insight into how our ancestors dressed centuries ago.
