EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, a Kylix decorated with a fight scene. Created around 600 BC, this terracotta masterpiece is an exquisite example of Corinthian craftsmanship. The photograph was taken by Luisa Ricciarini and can be found in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The kylix itself is a type of drinking cup characterized by its shallow bowl shape and two horizontal handles on either side. This particular kylix stands out due to its intricate decoration depicting a combat scene. The artist skillfully captured the intensity and dynamism of the battle, showcasing warriors engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. Measuring only 13 cm in diameter, this small yet impactful artwork serves as a window into ancient Greek culture and their fascination with heroic tales and warfare. It offers us insight into their artistic techniques and attention to detail. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artifact, highlighting its delicate features while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. Through her lens, we are able to appreciate the mastery behind this stunning piece of crockery from antiquity.
