EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Greek method of riding a horse bareback, providing us with a glimpse into their equestrian traditions. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, showcases various elements that symbolize victory and martial games. In the top part of the image, we see a young man returning from his endeavors, wearing a chlamys on his lance. A woman stands nearby offering drinks to both man and horse, highlighting the importance of hospitality in Greek culture. Below them, another rider holds a lance and bridle while carrying a shield adorned with fillet and myrtle branches – symbols associated with triumph in battle. The illustration is taken from Aubin Louis Millins' "Peintures de Vases Antiques" and has been handcoloured to enhance its visual appeal. It is part of Giulio Ferrario's comprehensive work titled "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1842. This historical piece not only provides insight into ancient Greek horsemanship but also offers glimpses into fashion trends prevalent during that era. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print serves as a testament to our fascination with history and serves as an exquisite addition to any art collection or decor scheme.
