EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from the ancient world - the intense fighting outside Troy during the Trojan War. The image showcases a frieze from the Siphnian Treasury, dating back to around 525 BC and made of exquisite marble. In this scene, we witness Greek soldiers engaged in fierce combat against their Trojan adversaries. The warriors are adorned with helmets and shields, displaying their unwavering determination to protect their homeland and secure victory. Amidst the chaos, a retreating soldier can be seen fleeing for safety while another lies lifeless on the ground, symbolizing the brutal reality of war.

It allows us to reflect on our shared past and appreciate both the artistic skill that went into creating such masterpieces and the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on ancient battlefields like Troy.
