EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent ancient Greek marble sculpture, the Horse's Head, from the Parthenon in Athens. Engraved by Henry Corbould in the 19th century, this artwork is now held in a private collection. The sculpture originates from the eastern pediment of the Parthenon and was featured in "Description of the Collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum" published in 1830. The Horse's Head represents an important piece of archaeological history and artistry. It offers a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and mythology, as horses played significant roles both symbolically and practically during that time. This engraving captures every intricate detail of this remarkable sculpture, showcasing its beauty and craftsmanship. The image evokes thoughts about Greece's rich heritage, with Athens being at its cultural epicenter. The horse holds great significance not only within Greek mythology but also as an essential part of daily life for Athenians during that era. As we admire this stunning artwork through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring us closer to understanding our past. Whether it be exploring archaeology or appreciating religious symbolism depicted through sculptures like these marbles, they serve as gateways to unraveling historical narratives while simultaneously celebrating artistic excellence.
