EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases an exquisite Ancient Greek vase in the form of a sphinx. Crafted by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork is a testament to the rich history and mythology of Greece. The vase, depicted in black and white, is beautifully decorated with intricate patterns and ornate details. The sphinx creature, with its majestic lion body and human head, symbolizes power and mystery. It represents the fusion of human intelligence with animal strength, embodying both grace and ferocity. This fantastic creature holds great significance in Greek mythology as a guardian figure. The lithograph print comes from "Histoire de la Ceramique Grecque" (History of Greek Ceramics), written by Olivier Rayet and Maxime Collignon in 1888. It offers us a glimpse into the world of ancient pottery craftsmanship during that time period. As we admire this stunning piece of art, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a land steeped in religion, paganism, and polytheism. The vase serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined art was with religious beliefs during this era. With its historical importance and artistic beauty, this lithograph print captures our imagination while honoring the legacy of ancient Greek culture.
