EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the back of an early Russian bronze mirror, discovered near the picturesque river Bukhtarma Altai. The mirror, now proudly displayed in St Petersburg's renowned Hermitage Museum, is a testament to Russia's rich cultural heritage. Against a striking black background, the silhouette of an elegant deer emerges from the bronze surface. Its graceful form and delicate features are beautifully captured in this studio shot. The animal seems to come alive, as if stepping out from its ancient realm into our modern world. The image exudes a sense of mystery and timelessness. It invites us to ponder upon the craftsmanship that went into creating such a remarkable artifact centuries ago. The mirror reflects not only physical beauty but also serves as a window into Russia's past – a country steeped in history and tradition. Nestled within the breathtaking Bukhtarma Valley, this object holds both geographical significance and artistic value. It stands as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with distant lands and cultures. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures every detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the color variations on this mesmerizing piece. This photograph is not intended for commercial use but rather serves as an invitation to explore our shared human history through art and geography.
