EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the goddess Epona, a deity of Gallic origin and revered patron of horsemen and travelers. The limestone stela, created by Roman artisans, is now housed in the Musee des Antiquites Nationales in St. Germain-en-Laye, France. Epona's significance lies in her association with horses and her role as a protector of those who rely on these majestic creatures for transportation and exploration. This ancient artwork beautifully captures her divine essence. The intricate carving depicts Epona seated gracefully atop a horse, symbolizing her close connection to these noble animals. Her serene expression exudes wisdom and benevolence as she watches over all who embark on journeys or engage with equine companions. As an artifact from the Roman Empire era, this piece not only represents mythology but also serves as a testament to the rich history of Gaulish culture. Its discovery in Gannat (Allier), Auvergne adds further intrigue to its archaeological value. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this image that highlights both the artistic mastery behind this sculpture and its cultural significance. Through this photograph, viewers can appreciate the beauty of ancient art while gaining insights into mythological characters like Epona.
