EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing part of the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, dating back to the 5th century BC. The image captures an exquisite section of the marbles, specifically highlighting a fragment depicting the grand Panathenaic procession. Housed in the renowned British Museum, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and artistry. The photograph beautifully portrays both animals and people engaged in this historical event. Men on horseback can be seen participating in various sports and competitions, symbolizing strength, skill, and rivalry. The level of detail captured by Mike Dixon is truly astonishing; every nuance is brought to life with vibrant colors that enhance our understanding of this ancient world. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it serves as a metaphor for human progress and movement throughout history. The marble sculpture crafted by Phidias (or Pheidias) perfectly encapsulates the spirit of these events that were held during Athens' most important festival –the Panathenaia. Preserved meticulously over centuries, these Elgin Marbles continue to inspire awe and admiration among visitors at the British Museum today. This particular artwork stands as an object testament to human creativity and artistic genius from more than two millennia ago
