EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Greek mythological scene of Orestes at Delphi with Iphigenia, depicted on an exquisite Attic Red Figure Krater dating back to the 5th century BC. The artwork portrays a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, where Orestes and his sister Iphigenia find refuge at the sacred site of Delphi. In this visually stunning image, we see Orestes and Iphigenia standing side by side, their figures beautifully rendered in vibrant red hues against a black background. Their expressive faces convey a mix of emotions - relief, hope, and perhaps even trepidation as they seek sanctuary from their troubled past. The intricate details of this artifact transport us back to ancient Greece; every brushstroke tells a story. The krater itself is adorned with delicate patterns and motifs that add depth and richness to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Greek mythology and its influence on art throughout centuries. It also offers us a glimpse into the lives and struggles faced by individuals in ancient times – their quests for redemption, familial bonds tested by fate, and journeys towards self-discovery. This print captures not only an extraordinary archaeological find but also evokes our curiosity about human nature across time. It invites us to explore our own connections to family ties, personal growth amidst adversity, and the significance of seeking solace in places that hold historical resonance like Delphi –
