EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient coin depicting the mythical creature Pegasus, believed to have been created between 500-450 BCE. The artist behind this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The coin's design is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Ancient Greece, featuring intricate details and fine craftsmanship. Against a grey background, Pegasus emerges in all its glory with wings outstretched and head held high. Its majestic presence evokes a sense of awe and wonder. Pegasus holds great significance in Greek mythology as a symbol of freedom, power, and inspiration. This mythical beast was said to possess the ability to fly and became an emblem for poets, artists, and dreamers throughout history. The silver coinage serves as both currency and art object—a tangible representation of wealth intertwined with cultural expression. It provides us with valuable insights into the economic systems that existed during this period in Corinthian society. Preserved through time, this close-up image allows us to appreciate every minute detail on this ancient artifact— from the delicate etchings on Pegasus' body to the Ionian lettering inscribed around it. Displayed within an art gallery or museum setting like the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this coin serves as a window into our past—an enduring reminder of human creativity across centuries.
