EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact known as the Lekythos, dating back to 375-350 BC. Crafted by the Greek School in the 4th Century, this Pentablic marble masterpiece stands at an impressive size of 46.36x24.77x24.77 cm and is currently housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The Lekythos itself is a vessel that was commonly used for storing oil or perfumes in ancient Greece. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship are evident through the relief sculpture depicted on its surface. The scene portrays two figures engaged in a handshake; one female figure standing while another male figure sits attentively. As we delve into this artwork's historical significance, it becomes apparent that it represents more than just a simple exchange between individuals. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and their emphasis on social interactions and relationships. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Gordan Hanes, this extraordinary piece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. With its out-of-copyright status, it allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also encourages further exploration into our collective past. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can marvel at this timeless treasure and reflect upon how art continues to bridge gaps between civilizations across time and space.
