Greek Royalty

Description

Greek Royalty captures Ex-King Constantine of Greece at a June 1973 horse show in Rome, where he had been living since fleeing his homeland in 1967. The deposed monarch stands in composed dignity, his presence commanding the frame while the equestrian setting provides a backdrop of aristocratic tradition. Slim Aarons frames this moment with characteristic precision, revealing the complex narrative of exile and resilience through a single carefully composed scene. The photograph shows Constantine in his element among the horses and pageantry, a man who had lost a throne but maintained his bearing, creating a study in grace under historical pressure.
