EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pelike with red figures, created by the Greek School in the 5th century BC. With a diameter of 33.5 cm, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Museo Nazionale della Siritide in Policoro, Matera, Basilicata, Italy. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this artwork truly transport viewers back to ancient Greece. On side B of the Pelike, we see an awe-inspiring depiction of Athena on a triga alongside another female figure. Athena stands proudly wearing a shield adorned with radial episema and holds a two-pointed stick to incite the horses into galloping. This scene originates from Herakleia's western necropolis. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every nuance and essence of this mythological piece through her lens. The photograph perfectly highlights the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such ceramic masterpieces during antiquity. The image evokes feelings of wonderment as we delve into Greek mythology and witness Athena's divine presence amidst her equine companions. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also our connection to ancient civilizations that continue to inspire us today.
