EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient art, an Attic skyphos signed by potter Hieron and attributed to Makron. Dating back to the 5th century B. C. , this red-figure pottery is a testament to the rich Greek civilization of that era. With a height of 31 cm, it stands as a remarkable example of classical age craftsmanship. The image features the reverse side of the skyphos, adorned with a scene known as the Embassy to Achilles from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. Against a pristine white background in a studio setting, this horizontal composition brings forth every intricate detail and vibrant color. Intriguingly, there are no people present in this depiction; instead, we witness male and female likenesses engaged in an intense narrative. This decorative artwork transports us back to the Trojan War period where heroes like Achilles played pivotal roles. The mastery displayed by both Hieron and Makron is evident through their skillful use of ceramics and painting techniques on this Aegean civilization artifact. It serves as a visual time capsule that allows us to connect with our ancient past while appreciating its artistic beauty. This photograph captures not only an extraordinary piece but also invites us into the world of literature and mythology. It reminds us how art transcends time, enabling us to delve into different civilizations' stories and immerse ourselves in their cultural heritage.
