Deel van het fries van het Parthenon in Athene, afgebeeld drie ruiters before 1868

This photograph by G. Arosa et Cie captures a portion of the Parthenon's frieze depicting three horsemen. It was taken before 1868, and is a classic example of high relief sculpture, a technique used to create the illusion of depth. The detail of the horses' musculature and the riders' drapery is striking, demonstrating the skill of the original Greek sculptors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the artistry and grandeur of the Parthenon, one of the most iconic structures of ancient Greece.
