Deel van het fries van het Parthenon in Athene, afgebeeld twee mannen en een paard before 1868

This photograph, taken before 1868 by G. Arosa et Cie, shows a section of the Parthenon frieze depicting two men and a horse. The frieze, a continuous band of sculpted figures, originally encircled the top of the temple and depicted a procession of deities and mortals. This section, likely part of the Panathenaic procession, showcases the detailed craftsmanship and anatomical precision of the original Greek sculpture. The image provides a glimpse into the grandeur and artistic excellence of the Parthenon, a masterpiece of ancient Greek architecture.
