EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of one of history's most iconic tales - The Trojan Horse. In this image, we witness the ancient city of Troy as it falls victim to a clever ruse orchestrated by the Greeks. King Priam stands on the right, his eyes filled with both curiosity and trepidation, watching as the colossal wooden horse is dragged through breached city walls. The horse itself stands tall and imposing, a symbol of deceit and trickery. Its worn-out appearance speaks volumes about its age and antiquity. As we delve into Greek mythology and Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad" we uncover a story that has captivated generations with its themes of betrayal, heroism, and warfare. This photograph not only transports us back in time but also serves as a reminder of mankind's capacity for dishonesty. It reminds us that even in ancient times, cunning strategies were employed to gain an advantage during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this aged gift from centuries past, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of surprise attacks and strategic planning. It is a testament to the enduring power of art that such an illustration can still evoke emotions within us today. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate Pieter Jalhea Furnius' engraving after Gerard van Groeningen's original work in all its historical glory. This print is more than just an image; it is an invitation to explore the depths of human ingenuity and deception throughout history.
