EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Greek antiquity known as a lekythos, or lecythe, which is adorned with intricate depictions of Zeus, Hermes, and horsemen. Painted by the talented artist of Aasis during the years 550-540 BC in Gela, this masterpiece now resides in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Palermo, Italy. The lekythos serves as a testament to the rich mythology and artistry of ancient Greece. The image portrays Zeus, the king of gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, alongside Hermes, his loyal messenger deity often associated with travel and communication. These powerful figures are accompanied by horsemen who add an element of movement and dynamism to the composition. Crafted from ceramic materials using traditional techniques prevalent during that era, this antique vase represents a significant archaeological find. Its delicate details and vibrant colors have been beautifully preserved over centuries. Luisa Ricciarini's exceptional photography captures every nuance of this remarkable artwork while highlighting its historical significance. Through her lens, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this piece but also gain insight into ancient Greek culture and beliefs. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the mythical world that once captivated generations past.
