EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure stamnos, a pottery vessel originating from Vulci, Italy around 500-480 BC. The artwork depicts the legendary scene of Infant Herakles bravely slaying two menacing snakes. Crafted by the renowned Berlin Painter, who flourished between 500-460 BC, this masterpiece is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The image captures the essence of Greek mythology during the archaic period, highlighting themes of strength and heroism. As Herakles fearlessly confronts his adversaries, we witness his extraordinary power and determination to protect humanity from evil forces. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke on this red-figure vase. The intricate depiction of Alcmene's son wearing Athena's aegis symbolizes divine protection as he faces Hera-sent serpents. This iconic moment immortalizes Herakles' early triumphs and foreshadows his future heroic feats. Through this photograph, Peter Willi skillfully brings out the vibrant colors and delicate lines that define ancient Greek artistry. It serves as a testament to our fascination with classical civilization and its enduring influence on contemporary culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us be reminded of the timeless tales that continue to captivate our imagination while honoring the artistic legacy left behind by talented craftsmen like the Berlin Painter.
