EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of ancient art from Italy's Basilicata region. The terracotta pot, dating back to the 5th century B. C. , depicts a scene known as the Medea escape and was painted by the renowned Painter of Policoro. Housed in the Museo Nazionale Della Siritide, this artifact is a testament to Greek artistry and craftsmanship. The image captures the full length of this remarkable pottery, adorned with intricate details that transport us back to an ancient civilization. The snake motif prominently featured on the vase adds a touch of mythology and symbolism, evoking curiosity about its significance within ancient Greek culture. The decoration on this archaeological artifact reflects not only artistic mastery but also provides valuable insights into historical narratives and beliefs held during that time period. Its studio shot against a grey background allows for focused appreciation of every element present – from the serpent's sinuous form to human representations subtly incorporated into its design. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we are reminded of how art transcends time, connecting us with our ancestors' creativity and imagination. This photograph invites us to delve deeper into ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage while marveling at the skillful execution displayed in this single object
