EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figured kalpis, dating back to the 5th century BC. Standing at a height of 34.9 cm, this terracotta masterpiece is housed in the Miho Museum in Shigaraki, Japan. Attributed to an early mannerist artist, the shoulder panel of this kalpis depicts a scene from Greek mythology known as the Seven Against Thebes. In this particular moment captured on the vase's surface, we witness these legendary figures arming themselves before launching their final assault on the city. At the center of attention stands Parthenopaios, portrayed in all his glory with his nude figure commanding our gaze. The intricate details and vibrant colors painted onto this ceramic artifact are truly remarkable. Every stroke and line contribute to its overall decorative appeal and ornate charm. This ancient Greek pottery not only serves as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship but also offers us valuable insights into classical mythological narratives. As we explore this image further, we find ourselves immersed in a world where warriors donning armor prepare for battle against formidable odds. It is through such artifacts that we can connect with ancient Greece's military history and appreciate its cultural significance even today.
