EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of ancient history, an Attic cup with Ephebes preserved in the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, located within the Vatican City. The museum itself is a treasure trove of classical artifacts, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Greece and Europe. The cup depicted in this image dates back to around the 5th century BC, representing Greek art at its finest. It is adorned with intricate details that speak volumes about ancient civilization. Shielded figures can be seen engaged in conversation while holding lances and spears, highlighting their military life and armed forces. The Ephebes featured on this cup are portrayed as nude males, emphasizing their physical prowess and celebrating the human body. Their headdresses reflect both civilian and military influences, adding depth to their character. Surrounding them are palm trees and other vegetal elements that create a harmonious composition. Photographed around 1942 by Anderson from Alinari studios, this print showcases not only his skillful eye but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical Greek art. It transports viewers back in time to an era where games and pastimes were intertwined with military training. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we cannot help but marvel at how it has survived centuries of wear and tear through meticulous preservation efforts undertaken by the Gregorian Etruscan Museum. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared human history - one that continues to inspire us even after thousands of years have passed.
