EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient masterpiece, the Attic black figure hydria depicting a departure scene. Created by the renowned Leagros Group around 530-520 BC, this pottery artwork is currently housed in the Musee Municipal Antoine Vivenel in Compiegne, France. The image transports us back to the mythical world of ancient Greece, where gods and mortals coexisted. The scene depicted on this hydria is nothing short of extraordinary - it captures a momentous departure with intricate details and artistic finesse. At its center stands Poseidon, the god of the sea and earthquakes, holding his iconic trident. Beside him is Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare, adorned in her majestic armor. They are surrounded by other mythological figures such as Hermes and Neptune. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the presence of Pegasus – a winged horse soaring above them all – symbolizing freedom and divine power. The use of black figure technique adds depth to this archaic-style artwork; each stroke brings life to these mythological characters frozen in time. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship involved but also offers a glimpse into Greek mythology that continues to captivate audiences even today.
