EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artifact from ancient Greece, the Amphora. Created around 530-520 B. C. , this terracotta storage jar is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time. The black-figure technique used in its design adds depth and intricacy to the artwork. Standing at 38.7x27.9 cm, this Amphora is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA, thanks to the generous contribution of the Katherine K. Adler Memorial Fund. Its attribution goes to Ivy-Leaf Group (fl. 4th century BC), a renowned artist from that era. The image captures a fascinating scene featuring various elements such as a man with a walking stick and two horses nearby. This depiction transports us back in time to witness life on an ancient Greek farm where livestock played an essential role. The handled earthenware vessel itself is adorned with detailed illustrations showcasing animals including dogs and horses - symbols of loyalty and strength in Greek culture. As we admire this remarkable piece of ceramic artistry, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance it represents. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the ancient civilizations that came before us.
