EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 1st century - a depiction of Castor, one of the Dioscuri twins from Greek mythology, alongside a majestic horse. The image originates from the famous Pillar of the Boatman in Paris, discovered within Notre Dame Cathedral and now housed at Musee de Cluny. In this vibrant snapshot, we witness a male figure gently stroking the horse's mane while holding a weapon, possibly a spear. The stone pillar stands tall behind them, adorned with intricate carvings that depict scenes of war and religious symbolism. The colors are rich and vivid, bringing life to this ancient masterpiece. The photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also invites us to delve into various realms: mythology, religion, science, and warfare. Castor's presence evokes thoughts on Greek mythology and his association with Pollux as part of the Gemini constellation. Moreover, it sparks curiosity about Christian influences during that era due to its connection with Notre Dame Cathedral. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact through Mike Dixon's lens (CM Dixon), we can't help but appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past while reminding us of our enduring fascination with both animals and weaponry. This print is truly an invaluable treasure for any museum or history enthusiast seeking to explore diverse aspects of our cultural heritage without commercial intent.
