This print captures the awe-inspiring "Figure of Peace" from the iconic Wellington Arch quadriga in London. Standing tall and proud, this magnificent blue statue exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity that is truly mesmerizing. Commissioned during the Edwardian era, this Neo-Classical sculpture by Adrian Jones was finally erected in 1912, becoming an enduring symbol of peace and harmony. The attention to detail in every curve and contour showcases Jones' exceptional talent as a sculptor. The Figure of Peace stands atop a grand quadriga, depicting four horses pulling a chariot. Its classical design pays homage to ancient Greek and Roman artistry while adding its own unique touch of elegance. This masterpiece beautifully combines strength with gracefulness, evoking feelings of calmness and unity. Marcus Robinson's skillful photography brings out the intricate features of this remarkable sculpture, capturing it at just the right angle to highlight its beauty against the backdrop of London's historic architecture. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the artistic brilliance behind this creation but also its profound symbolism – reminding us all that peace is an essential element for humanity's progress and well-being.
