EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic amphora from the Late Geometric II B Period, dating back to around 720-700 BC. The intricate details of this painted clay masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The focal point of the image is a mesmerizing scene depicting a soldier and his chariot, surrounded by skilled drivers. The motif of driving is beautifully captured through geometric bands and patterns that adorn the vessel's surface. The reins held by the warriors add a sense of movement and dynamism to the composition. The horses, with their majestic presence, stand out as powerful symbols of strength and grace. They lead a grand procession, accompanied by various animals in tow. This decorative display not only showcases wildlife but also farm animals, representing the importance of livestock in ancient Greek culture. Every inch of this amphora is meticulously decorated with ornate designs that speak volumes about the craftsmanship and artistic prowess prevalent during this period in Greece's history. Displayed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this artifact attributed to the workshop of Athens Amphora 894 offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek civilization. Its preservation over centuries allows us to appreciate its beauty today while reflecting on its historical significance as both an art form and cultural artifact.
