EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene of men engaged in combat with Amazons mounted on horseback, inspired by an antique Greek vase. The color lithograph, created by the French School in the 19th century and housed at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, brings to life this legendary tale. The origin of this myth is believed to have roots in Kazakhstan. In the 1990s, excavations uncovered approximately 50 tombs dating back to 600-200 BC. These tombs revealed intriguing findings - skeletons of women buried alongside weapons and sometimes even horses. This discovery lends credibility to the existence of fierce female warriors known as Amazons. In this image, we witness a clash between two formidable forces - male fighters and Amazonian warriors astride powerful horses. Spears are raised high as they confront each other head-on with unwavering determination. The intensity of their battle is palpable as they engage in a fierce confrontation. The composition beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greece's mythical tales while highlighting the strength and prowess of these legendary female figures. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, women have played significant roles not only on the battlefield but also within societies where gender norms were often rigidly defined. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that transports us into worlds both real and imagined – inviting us to explore our fascination with legends and ancient civilizations.
