EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an interior scene depicted on a red figure Attic kylix, created by the renowned painter Douris. Housed in the National Museum of Tarquinia, located in the historic city of Tarquinia, this ancient artifact transports viewers back to a time when Greek art flourished. The image captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology: Helen, famously known as the face that launched a thousand ships, is seen delicately pouring liquid into a plate held by King Priam. The composition exudes elegance and grace as it immortalizes this significant encounter between two legendary figures. The kylix itself is adorned with exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Its vibrant red color serves as a backdrop for scenes depicting various aspects of ancient civilization. The columned building elements showcased on the vase symbolize architectural achievements of that era. Intriguingly, this photograph was taken during the early 20th century (circa 1920-1930), capturing both the timeless beauty of ancient Greece and providing us with insight into how these artifacts were preserved throughout history. It allows us to appreciate not only Douris' artistic prowess but also Alinari's skillful documentation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Greco-Roman art captured through Alinari's lens, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our collective desire to preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage. This photograph stands as a testament to our shared past and reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation (dated around 500-490 BCE), its allure remains undiminished.
