Peter Brandes (Danish, b. 1944). "Horse of Selene" from Parthenon frieze, British Museum. Art photograph. 1991. Any fan of the Parthenon, Greek mythology, and/or equestrian art is sure to fall for this artistic photograph of the Horse of Selene from the Parthenon frieze. Brandes is appreciated for his modern interpretations on Greek mythology as well as themes from Norse and Christian traditions. The Horse of Selene was depicted as part of the frieze on the east pediment of the Parthenon on the Acropolis, Athens, ca. 438 to 432 BCE. The overall theme of this pediment is the miraculous birth of Athena from the head of her father Zeus, and the horse head captured by Brandes' lens belonged to one of the horses that pulled the chariot of Selene, the goddess of the moon. According to the British Museum curatorial team, "In the corners of this pediment, the exact time of day was set by the chariot of Helios, rising at dawn, and the chariot of Selene, sinking beneath the horizon." Size: 9" L x 11.5" W (22.9 cm x 29.2 cm); 27.625" L x 21.75" W (70.2 cm x 55.2 cm) framed
