EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure lekythos from around 480 BC. Created by a Cypriot artist during the 5th century BC, this ceramic masterpiece stands at a height of 32.3 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The artwork depicts Eros, the Greek god of love, in flight with his iconic wings spread wide. In one hand, he holds a lyre, symbolizing music and harmony, while in the other hand he carries a fillet – a decorative headband often associated with celebrations and festivities. The attention to detail on this ancient artifact is truly remarkable. The intricate red-figure technique used by Athenian artists brings Eros to life as he gracefully soars through the air. Every stroke on this pottery piece tells a story of love and beauty that transcends time. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to ancient Greece where gods and goddesses reigned supreme. This photograph serves as both an educational tool for art enthusiasts and a testament to human creativity throughout history. Let us marvel at the craftsmanship displayed in this Attic red-figure lekythos; it reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, great art continues to inspire awe and admiration.
