EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historical moment at the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 in London, where the sculpture "Amazon" by Hungarian artists Otto and Emilie Friedländer-Kiss, also known as "Kiss," was exhibited. The sculpture, now famously known as "The Amazon," depicts an Amazonian woman in a heroic stance, spearing a rampaging lion that attacks her horse. The intricate crystal detailing on the lion's mane and the woman's flowing robes add an ethereal quality to the scene. The Crystal Palace Exhibition, held in Hyde Park, was a world's fair that showcased the latest advancements in science, technology, and art. The exhibition attracted millions of visitors from around the world, making it an ideal platform for artists like the Kisses to display their works. "The Amazon" was one of the most admired pieces at the event, drawing crowds with its intricate detailing, historical significance, and the audaciousness of the Amazonian woman's defiance against the lion. The sculpture's historical context is rooted in ancient Greek mythology, where the Amazons were believed to be an all-female warrior tribe who lived in the region of Themyscira. They were renowned for their exceptional archery skills and their ability to tame wild animals. The sculpture pays homage to this mythology, highlighting the strength and courage of the Amazonian woman, who fearlessly confronts the lion, despite the danger to herself and her horse. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of art and the significant role it plays in preserving and showcasing the stories and myths of the past. The Kisses' "Amazon" continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the power and resilience of the human spirit.
