EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 17th century - a Caucasian dragon rug with stags. The vibrant colors of red and white dominate the image, drawing attention to the intricate patterns and mythical creatures depicted on the rug's surface. The rug originates from the Caucasus region, known for its rich cultural heritage and exquisite craftsmanship. One cannot help but be captivated by the repetition of small animals, possibly stags, which fill every corner of this magnificent creation. These delicate details add depth and complexity to an already mesmerizing composition. Displayed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this artifact is a testament to human creativity throughout history. It serves as a window into seventeenth-century mythology and symbolism, where dragons were revered as powerful beings representing strength and protection. The full-frame image allows us to appreciate every nuance of this masterpiece. The skillful combination of color, pattern, and form transports us back in time while reminding us that art has no boundaries or limitations. Mike Dixon expertly captures this extraordinary piece through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
