This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to ancient Greece, where we witness a mesmerizing procession depicted on the Parthenon frieze. The scene unfolds with a group of flute and kithara players, dressed in musicians' clothing consisting of long chitons and himations. As our eyes scan the image, one kithara player breaks away from the uniformity by facing directly towards the viewer, adding an intriguing element to this grand spectacle. Intricately carved into stone, this fragment of the Parthenon frieze also reveals two figures whose legs have been joined to complete the block. It is awe-inspiring to imagine how these masterful sculptures adorned such a magnificent structure in ancient Athens.
