EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of one of the four triumphal quadriga horses of San Marco in Venice, Italy. Crafted from bronze, this Roman masterpiece is housed within the Museo Marciano, located in the iconic Basilica di San Marco. The Triumphal Quadriga, also known as the Horses of Saint Mark's, consists of four stunning horses that were originally part of a larger monument featuring a quadriga carriage used for chariot racing. These majestic creatures were placed on the loggia above the porch on St Mark's Basilica after Constantinople was sacked in 1204. However, to preserve their historical significance and beauty, they have been moved inside Saint Mark's while replicas now grace their original position. Photographed by Derek Bayes with great attention to detail and artistry, this image captures not only the grandeur and intricate craftsmanship of these ancient sculptures but also highlights their verdigris patina that adds an air of authenticity. The full-length shot allows viewers to appreciate every curve and contour of these remarkable equine figures. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported back through time to ancient Rome and immersed in classical civilization. The combination of Italian Roman influences with Byzantine elements creates a truly unique artistic expression that represents both Venetian history and cultural heritage. Whether you are an admirer of art or simply captivated by architectural wonders, this print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout antiquity. It stands as a symbol not only for Venice but also for our enduring fascination with history and its ability to inspire generations across centuries.
