EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an archaic metope from the 6th century, featuring the divine figures of Apollo and Artemis driving horses. Originally hailing from the temple at Selinunte on Sicily, this remarkable artifact now finds its place in the esteemed collection of the International Archaeological Museum in Palermo, Italy. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as these ancient deities commandeer their majestic steeds with grace and power. The vibrant colors bring life to this centuries-old scene, highlighting every intricate detail of the harnesses adorning both horse and rider. As one gazes upon this piece of history, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when religious devotion was intertwined with daily life. The presence of Apollo, god of music and light, alongside Artemis, goddess of hunting and wilderness evokes a sense of reverence for nature's beauty. In addition to its artistic significance, this metope serves as a testament to the architectural prowess prevalent during that era. Its preservation over centuries allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insight into ancient civilizations' beliefs and customs. Through this photograph print by CM Dixon - Mike Dixon (TGN), we are granted access to a glimpse into antiquity—a window connecting our present-day world with those who worshipped these gods thousands of years ago.
