EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Wedgwood jasperware bas-relief or tablet designed by Camillo Pacetti in 1788. Titled "Priam Begging the Body of Hector" this piece is a true masterpiece of art and craftsmanship. The image depicts an emotional scene from Greek mythology, taken from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. Priam, the king of Troy, is seen desperately pleading for the body of his beloved son Hector after he was slain by Achilles during the Trojan War. The intricate details on this bas-relief capture every nuance of Priam's grief-stricken face and his outstretched hands as he begs for mercy. Josiah Wedgwood, renowned English potter and founder of Wedgwood ceramics, created this stunning work in collaboration with Italian sculptor Camillo Pacetti. The delicate jasperware technique used adds a touch of elegance to this historical artwork. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient Greece, this photograph transports us back to a time when mythological figures roamed the earth and legends were born. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also our enduring fascination with classical tales. This fine art print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such intricate pieces and the timeless stories that continue to captivate us today.
