EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quadriga" takes us back to the 19th century with its exquisite detail and historical significance. The artwork showcases a magnificent quadriga, a chariot drawn by four horses abreast, which was commonly used in ancient Greece and Rome. Created by an anonymous European artist from that era, this print is part of a private collection. It originally served as an illustration for Dr Oskar Seyffert's "A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities" published in 1891. The intricate lines and shading bring to life the grandeur of this classical mode of transportation. The scene depicted here transports us to ancient Greece, where we can imagine ourselves witnessing a triumphant procession or perhaps even participating in one ourselves. The attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle on the horses' bodies seems alive with energy as they charge forward. As we gaze upon this piece, it reminds us not only of the artistic talent prevalent during the 19th century but also of the rich history that lies behind these classical symbols. From Greece to Rome, Italy to Sicily, each element within this engraving represents different facets of European culture. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning work for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. Its timeless beauty serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to captivate our hearts and transport us through time.
