EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Lucanian Calyx-Krater, a remarkable piece of earthenware dating back to 400 BC. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Policoro Painter, an artist from the 5th-4th Century BC, this magnificent artwork measures 50.5x49.9 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The krater depicts a scene steeped in Greek mythology and brimming with symbolism. A chariot takes center stage, driven by a female figure adorned with wings and surrounded by serpents. The vibrant red figures on the ceramic vessel come alive as they portray various mythological characters and creatures. The intricate details on this calyx-krater transport us to ancient Greece, where tales of gods and heroes were woven into everyday life. The presence of winged females suggests divine beings or nymphs overseeing mortal affairs while serpents symbolize both danger and wisdom. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece's narrative, we encounter references to renowned figures such as Medea and Erinyes (Furies). Their stories intertwine within this mythical realm captured on pottery – a testament to human creativity across centuries. Through its vivid colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this Lucanian Calyx-Krater invites us to explore ancient Greek culture while marveling at its artistic prowess. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and an era long gone but not forgotten—a reminder that art transcends time itself.
