EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Basso Relievo--of Wingless Victory--lately found, 1848" by George Wilson Bridges. The artwork, created in the 19th century, draws inspiration from ancient Greece and its rich heritage of art and culture. The image depicts a relief carving of Nike, the goddess of victory, standing proudly in a temple dedicated to Athena Nike. Dressed in flowing robes that drape elegantly around her form, she stands with her wings absent – an intriguing departure from traditional representations. This unique interpretation by Bridges adds depth and intrigue to the sculpture. The paper negative technique employed by Bridges enhances the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing every intricate detail carved into the stone. The photograph captures not only the physical beauty of this masterpiece but also evokes a sense of reverence for its religious significance. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this extraordinary piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in ancient Greek mythology while appreciating Bridges' artistic vision. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as his appreciation for history and culture. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness both the skillful craftsmanship of ancient Greek sculptors and Bridges' ability to capture their work through photography. A true treasure within our cultural heritage!
