EDITORS COMMENTS
This black figure amphora, dating back to the mid-6th century BC, is a true masterpiece of Greek ceramic art. Standing at a height of 27.2 cm, this vessel showcases the incredible skill and craftsmanship of its creator, a follower of the renowned Lydos painter. The amphora depicts an intriguing scene from the archaic period - a departure scene featuring male figures in warrior attire. Adorned with helmets and shields, these brave soldiers stand tall on each side of the vase's belly. The intricate details and glazed finish bring life to their stoic expressions and muscular forms. The two-handled design adds both elegance and functionality to this ancient artifact. Its attic handles provide stability while also enhancing its aesthetic appeal. This print captures every nuance of this remarkable piece held in a private collection. The image was expertly captured by eHeini Schneebeli, showcasing the rich textures and fine lines that make up this black figure amphora. A true testament to Greek artistic heritage, this vessel serves as a window into ancient times when pottery played an essential role in everyday life. It stands as evidence not only of human creativity but also as a reminder of our connection to history through art.
