EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Ancient Greece, where the art of sport and athleticism was revered. The image depicts a thrilling moment in a horse race, as a skilled athlete mounts and dismounts from his steed at an impressive speed. Created by Heinrich Leutemann in 1866, this coloured engraving is part of his series "Pictures from Antiquity" showcasing scenes from ancient times. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life. The viewer is transported to the spectator stands, witnessing the intense competition unfold before their eyes. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as the crowd watches in awe at the agility and skill displayed by both man and horse. Nudity was common during sporting events in Ancient Greece, symbolizing purity and celebrating the human form's beauty. In this artwork, we see the athletes' nakedness representing their dedication to physical excellence. Stefano Bianchetti has carefully reproduced this engraving for our enjoyment today. It serves as a reminder of how sports have always been an integral part of human culture throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the timeless nature of athletics – its ability to captivate audiences across centuries and connect us with our ancestors who also celebrated strength, agility, and competition.
