EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek antiquity - an Attic cup adorned with red figures depicting a scene from the legendary Trojan War. The focal point of the artwork is the intense duel between Menelas and Paris, two prominent figures in this epic conflict. As they face each other in combat, Artemis, the goddess of hunting and protector of young girls, stands witness to this momentous event. Attributed to the renowned artist Douris, who flourished around 490-480 BC, this ancient ceramic masterpiece now finds its home at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Its intricate details and vibrant colors transport viewers back to a time when heroism and warfare shaped Greek society. The image captures not only the essence of war but also highlights the role women played during these tumultuous times. The presence of Artemis signifies her involvement in human affairs and her support for those engaged in battle. As we delve into this artifact's rich history through archaeology, it serves as a testament to Greece's cultural heritage and artistic prowess. This photograph by Photo Josse beautifully preserves every brushstroke on this antique treasure while allowing us to appreciate its significance even today.
