EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Greek artistry found in the "Galloping Riders" frieze of the Parthenon. Created during the 5th century BC, this low marble relief is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Greek artists. The intricate carving depicts a dynamic scene of human and horse figures in motion. The riders, frozen in time, convey a sense of energy and power as they gallop across the surface of the marble. Each detail is meticulously rendered, from their flowing garments to the gear adorning both rider and horse. The artist's mastery is evident in their ability to capture not only realistic human forms but also graceful equine anatomy. Located at Athens' Acropolis Museum, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with Greece's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder of how ancient civilizations celebrated both human and animal life through art. The horses depicted here symbolize strength and vitality while embodying nature's wild beauty. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this timeless masterpiece through her lens, preserving its essence for future generations to appreciate. This photograph invites us into a world where movement meets stillness, where history intertwines with modernity. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand one of Greece's most iconic artistic achievements - an enduring testament to humanity's creative spirit.
