EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Angelo Monticelli, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1842, depicts Ancient Greek warriors riding in a biga, or two-horse chariot. The rear view of the chariot reveals its intricate design, with two tiers adorned with shields bearing vibrant painted decorations. The warriors, identified as Pyrrhicios, are dressed in traditional Ancient Greek attire, including helmets, breastplates, and greaves. Their shields, emblazoned with geometric patterns and mythological scenes, are a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the Ancient Greeks. The Pyrrhic dance, a martial and celebratory dance named after Pyrrhos of Elis, is depicted in this scene, with the warriors performing the pirrica or pyrrhic dance while riding their chariots. The dance was believed to bring victory in war and was often performed during religious and military festivals. The warriors' intense focus and determined expressions suggest their readiness for battle, while the dynamic poses of their horses and the swirling patterns of their shields add a sense of motion and energy to the image. This engraving is a rare and valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the fashion, warfare, and cultural practices of Ancient Greece. Sir William Hamilton, a Scottish diplomat and collector, was among those who owned and appreciated such works of art and historical illustrations. The intricate details and rich colors of this engraving make it a stunning addition to any collection of Ancient Greek art or historical fashion.
