EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm, an ancient Greek coin dating back to 476-396 BCE. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The focal point of the image is a beautifully detailed depiction of a Biga, a two-horse chariot commonly used in ancient Greece for transportation and racing. The mules are intricately crafted with precision and skill, their powerful presence emanating from the photograph. Set against a grey background, the coin stands out with its silver shine and exquisite craftsmanship. Its letterbox format allows for a close-up view that highlights every intricate detail on the surface. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to ancient Messina in Sicily where it was likely minted. This coin not only served as currency but also represented the wealth and power of its era. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph captures both the artistic beauty and historical significance of Greek culture during this period. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers us insight into ancient civilizations' modes of transportation and finance. Through this stunning studio shot, we can appreciate how art transcends time by preserving fragments from our past that continue to captivate us today.
