This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - a red-figure pottery skyphos created by the skilled hands of Hieron the potter during Greek civilization in 480 B. C. The intricate detail captured in this image focuses on the intense moment of Briseis' capture, transporting us back to the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece. In this vertical composition, we witness two individuals locked in a face-to-face confrontation.

The skillful illustration and painting techniques employed by Hieron bring life to this indoor scene from antiquity. Every stroke tells a story as we delve into the past through art and craft.

This artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, providing invaluable insights into ancient civilizations. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with our ancestors. It allows us to appreciate their creativity while unraveling tales passed down through generations.
