EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Horses of the Sun" a 17th-century marble sculpture created by Gaspard and Balthazar Marsy. The artwork is housed in the Musee et Domaine National de Versailles et de Trianon, located in Versailles, France. The sculpture depicts mythical figures from ancient mythology, specifically horses associated with the sun. These majestic creatures are beautifully captured in intricate detail, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Marsy brothers. The baroque style of this masterpiece is evident through its elaborate design and dramatic flair. The movement of the horses seems almost lifelike as they gallop gracefully through time, evoking a sense of power and energy. The vibrant colors used to enhance this photograph highlight every nuance and texture of these legendary equines. It's a testament to Frank Buffetrille's talent as a photographer that he has managed to capture not only their physical beauty but also their symbolic significance within mythological lore.
