EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from ancient Italy, specifically the Calabria region in Locri. The image captures a stunning representation of a naked knight and horse positioned triumphantly over a Sphinx. This masterpiece originates from the Temple of Zeus, or alternatively known as the Marafioti House, dating back to the 5th century BC during Magna Graecia. The sculpture portrays an exquisite level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of Greek art during this era. The naked knight is elegantly supported by the mythical creature, symbolizing strength and power. The composition exudes a sense of majesty and grandeur. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that ancient civilizations possessed an incredible ability to create enduring works of art. This archaeological artifact serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression throughout time. The studio shot presents us with a side view perspective, allowing us to appreciate every intricate carving on both the knight and horse. Against a brown background, this single object stands out magnificently as it represents not only ancient Greece but also our shared cultural heritage. This print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty and significance of ancient art without any distracting elements such as people or modern surroundings. It invites contemplation on how art has evolved over centuries while reminding us of its timeless allure.
