EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Nicostenic amphora, adorned with intricate pictorial decorations and superposed bands of plant motifs. The amphora, dating back to the 6th century BC, is currently housed in the Vatican Museums in Rome. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Nikosthenes, whose signature can be discerned next to the figured scene on the shoulder of the vase. Crafted from ceramic, this object exemplifies exceptional skill and artistry in applied arts and crafts. Captured between 1880 and 1900 by photographer Romualdo Moscioni, this image allows us to appreciate every detail of this ancient masterpiece. The photograph not only preserves its visual splendor but also serves as a testament to its historical significance. Displayed within The Gregorian Etruscan Museum located in the State of Vatican City, this amphora represents an important find from archaeological excavations. Its presence within such prestigious surroundings further emphasizes its cultural value. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari, we are transported back in time to an era when craftsmanship was revered and storytelling through art was paramount. This Nicostenic amphora stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
