EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece - the Sarcophagus, dating back to the 4th century BC. A testament to the grandeur of that era, this exquisite piece depicts battle scenes during the time of Alexander the Great. At its center stands General Hephaestion, mounted on his horse and ready for combat. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as soldiers wearing Phrygian caps flank him on both sides. Their shields raised high, they exude strength and determination in their fight for their country. The horses beneath them are equally majestic, adding an element of power and grace to the composition. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to these ancient figures frozen in time. It transports us back to a bygone era when men fought valiantly for honor and glory. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the significance of burial rituals in ancient Greece. Sarcophagi like this one were created not only as final resting places but also as tributes to commemorate great individuals such as Alexander the Great and his loyal companion Hephaestion. This print captures a momentous chapter in history - a glimpse into an empire's rise and conquests under Alexander's leadership. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to reflect upon those who came before us, leaving behind legacies that continue to inspire generations today.
