EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 1st century - a Depiction of Pollux with a horse. The image captures the essence of this ancient masterpiece, which originates from the Pillar of the Boatman of Paris and is currently housed in Notre Dame Cathedral's Musee de Cluny collection. Against a striking black background, this studio shot highlights every intricate detail of the sculpture. The stone pillar stands tall, adorned with an exquisite carving depicting Pollux, one of the legendary Gemini twins from Greek mythology, alongside a majestic horse. This representation symbolizes their divine connection to equestrianism and serves as a testament to their mythical prowess. The photograph not only showcases artistic brilliance but also evokes religious and astrological significance. As part of Christian iconography found within Notre Dame de Paris, it exemplifies how ancient mythologies were intertwined with early Christianity. Expertly captured by CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, this colorized image brings new life to an age-old artifact. Its vibrant hues emphasize the importance placed on mythology during that era while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate its beauty today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing depiction, we are transported back in time to witness both man's fascination with horses and his desire to explore celestial connections through artistry.
