EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a pair of horses from the Geometric Period in ancient Greece, dating back to the last quarter of the 8th century B.C. The horses, depicted in a dynamic and energetic pose, are an exquisite example of the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks during this time. The horses' muscular forms and intricate geometric patterns are rendered in bronze, highlighting the advanced metalworking techniques of the era. The horses' bodies are adorned with intricate geometric patterns, a hallmark of the Geometric Period in Greek art. The use of these patterns reflects the ancient Greeks' appreciation for order and symmetry, as well as their belief in the power of geometric shapes to convey the essence of the natural world. The horses' heads are depicted in profile view, with their ears pricked forward and their eyes expressing a sense of alertness and vitality. Their manes and tails are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, adding texture and movement to the sculpture. This pair of horses is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for the artistic achievements of ancient Greece. The exact origins of the sculpture are unknown, but it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek art and its influence on the development of Western art history.
