EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red figure amphora, a masterpiece created by the renowned Suessula Painter during the 5th century BC. Standing at an impressive height of 69.5 cm, this ancient pottery piece is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The artwork depicted on this amphora transports us back to a legendary battle between gods and giants known as gigantomachy. In vivid detail, we witness Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, riding triumphantly in a chariot pulled by powerful horses. Together they engage in fierce combat against towering giants who threaten their divine realm. The craftsmanship displayed on this vessel is truly remarkable. The twisted handles add an elegant touch while emphasizing the intensity of the battle scene portrayed. The red figure technique utilized brings life to every stroke and contour on this ceramic canvas. As we delve into Greek mythology through this image, we are reminded of the eternal struggle between good and evil. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with stories that depict heroic battles fought for honor and glory. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every intricate detail of this awe-inspiring artwork through their expert photography skills. This print not only preserves history but also allows us to appreciate its magnificence from wherever it hangs - be it within our homes or public spaces alike
