EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the frieze around the neck of the Vix Krater, an ancient Greek bronze wine-making vessel from the 6th century BC. The focus is on the exquisitely carved head of a horse, which once adorned a quadriga - a four-horse chariot. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and line of this archaic masterpiece. The horse's powerful yet graceful form is frozen in time, its mane flowing as if caught in mid-gallop. Its eyes seem to hold wisdom accumulated over centuries, while its ears perk up with alertness. Discovered at Mount Lassois in France, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece. It symbolizes not only their mastery in equestrian art but also their deep connection with horses as symbols of strength and nobility. As we admire this remarkable piece, we can almost imagine it proudly leading a victorious procession or racing through mythical landscapes. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that transcends time and reminds us of our shared history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This print invites us to delve into the world of ancient Greece and marvel at their artistic achievements that continue to inspire generations today.
