EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Ancient Rome, where the excitement of a chariot race in the Circus Maximus is captured with incredible detail. The line engraving, created in the 19th century by Alexander von Wagner after his own painting, beautifully portrays this thrilling event. The image showcases a vast crowd gathered at the Circus Maximus, eagerly anticipating the start of the race. Spectators can be seen wearing traditional Roman togas and holding walking sticks as they anxiously await the spectacle about to unfold before them. The track stretches out before their eyes, ready to witness an intense display of skill and speed. In the center of attention are two powerful horses pulling a magnificent chariot driven by a skilled charioteer. With reins tightly gripped and whip at hand, he guides his team through every twist and turn on this perilous course. The intensity on his face reflects both determination and focus as he competes for victory. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides us with insight into transportation methods during ancient times. It reminds us of how these races were not just about entertainment but also served as important cultural events that brought people together. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Ancient Rome's vibrant past without leaving their present-day surroundings.
