EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two magnificent winged horses, dating back to the 4th-3rd century BC. Carved from stone by the skilled hands of Etruscan artisans, these majestic creatures once adorned the pediment of a temple in ancient Rome. The intricate details and lifelike expressions captured in this image transport us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship of these ancient artists. The horses' wings extend gracefully from their backs, symbolizing their mythical nature and hinting at their divine origins. These harnessed steeds were an integral part of the temple's architecture, serving as guardians or perhaps messengers between mortals and deities. Their presence evokes a sense of power and strength that must have been awe-inspiring for worshippers entering the sacred space. Now housed in Museo Nazionale Etrusco within Villa Giulia in Rome, Italy, these sculptures continue to captivate visitors with their timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of our shared human history but also our enduring fascination with animals and wildlife. This image is a testament to the lasting impact art can have on society; it transcends time and connects us to civilizations long gone. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, masterpieces like these still hold immense value as windows into our collective past.
