EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to the ancient Greek civilization, specifically the 4th century BC. The image showcases a remarkable piece of art known as the Dexileos stele, which vividly portrays a gripping battle scene. Against a pristine white background in a studio setting, this antiquity takes center stage and commands our attention. The sculpture on the stele depicts an intense conflict between warriors on horseback. The artist's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every detail, capturing the essence of classical Greek art and craft. The male likeness riding atop his majestic horse exudes power and bravery while engaging in combat. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes apparent that it serves as funerary art—a tribute to honor and commemorate an individual named Dexileos who likely perished in battle. This poignant connection to ancient Greece's rich history adds another layer of significance to this profound artifact. The Dexileos stele not only represents one man's story but also reflects larger themes prevalent during Aegean civilization—warfare, heroism, and animal representation. Its vertical composition further emphasizes its grandeur and impact. In this photo print, UIG has masterfully captured the essence of Greek culture through this extraordinary work of art. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of ancient civilizations while igniting our curiosity about their customs and beliefs.
