EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of one of the four triumphal quadriga horses of San Marco in Venice, Italy. Crafted from bronze and steeped in rich history, these horses were originally part of a larger monument that included a quadriga, a carriage used for chariot racing. Originally placed on the loggia above the porch on the facade of St Mark's Basilica after the sack of Constantinople in 1204, these iconic horses have been moved inside Saint Mark's for preservation purposes. However, replicas now stand proudly outside to continue enchanting visitors with their beauty and significance. The image captured by Derek Bayes beautifully captures every detail of this remarkable sculpture. The full-length view allows us to appreciate its motion and grandeur while showcasing its stunning patina and verdigris finish. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back to ancient Rome and reminded of classical civilization's influence on Venetian art and architecture. With its intricate craftsmanship and historical importance, this statue stands as a testament to both Roman and Byzantine cultures. It symbolizes power, strength, and victory—a true embodiment of triumphal quadriga. This photograph is not only an exquisite piece capturing Italian heritage but also serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our past.
