EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the ancient Greek civilization. The black-figure pottery, created by the skilled Towry Whyte Painter in the 6th century BC, depicts an exquisite amphora adorned with intricate artwork. At its center, we witness a moment of divine tenderness as Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, cradles her two beloved sons - Himeros and Eros - in her arms. The craftsmanship displayed on this archaeological artifact is truly remarkable. Every stroke of paint brings life to these mythical figures, capturing their grace and elegance. The vertical composition emphasizes the bond between mother and sons while highlighting their individual characteristics. In this snapshot from antiquity, we are transported back to a time when gods and goddesses were revered and worshipped. It reminds us of the rich mythology that shaped ancient civilizations like Classical Greece. As we gaze upon this image, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for a distant past filled with wonderment and awe. We can almost imagine ourselves standing amidst Aegean civilizations witnessing this intimate family moment unfold before our eyes. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art and craft throughout history. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful techniques employed by ancient artisans but also provides insight into their beliefs and values
