EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, the Black-Figure Amphora. Created by an artist attributed to Affecter, this masterpiece dates back to around 540-520 B. C. and was crafted in Athens, Greece. Made from terracotta, this amphora stands at an impressive height of 38.7 cm with a body diameter of 23.5 cm (15 1/4 x 9 1/4 in. ). The rim has a diameter of approximately 16.2 cm (6 3/8 in. ), adding to its exquisite proportions. The black-figure technique used on this amphora is truly awe-inspiring. It involves painting figures using slip and incising details onto the surface before firing it in a kiln, resulting in striking black silhouettes against the reddish-brown background. The intricate design depicts various scenes from Greek mythology and everyday life during that era. Each carefully rendered figure tells a story or conveys emotions through their expressive gestures and postures. As we admire this artifact from centuries ago, we are transported back to ancient Greece - marveling at the skillful craftsmanship and artistic vision of those who came before us. This print serves as both a window into history and a testament to human creativity throughout time. It is undoubtedly an invaluable addition to any collection or display dedicated to preserving our rich cultural heritage.
