EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Francois Vase, a remarkable artifact discovered in an Etruscan Tomb dating back to the 6th century BC. Crafted by two renowned artists, Ergotimos and Kleitias, this Greek vase is a testament to their exceptional skills - Ergotimos as the potter and Kleitias as the painter. The vase itself is a large Attic volute krater adorned with intricate black-figure style decorations. Its striking imagery transports us back in time to ancient Greece, where chariots raced across vast landscapes pulled by majestic horses. The vibrant colors used on this ceramic masterpiece bring life to scenes of country roads and depict various aspects of Greek culture. Now residing at the Archaeological Museum in Florence, Italy, this artifact holds immense historical significance. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the burial practices of ancient civilizations. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and preserve stories from centuries past. The Francois Vase not only represents artistic brilliance but also symbolizes concepts such as death and burial rituals that were integral parts of ancient Greek society. This photograph captures its beauty while inviting viewers to contemplate its historical context within Etruscan tombs. Mike Dixon's expert lens has immortalized this treasure for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its splendor even if we cannot witness it firsthand.
