EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pelike with red figures, an exquisite piece of ancient Greek art dating back to the 5th century BC. The Pelike, measuring 33.5 cm in diameter, is currently housed at the Museo Nazionale della Siritide in Policoro, Matera, Basilicata, Italy. The photograph focuses on side A of the Pelike and features a powerful warrior mounted on a horse. With a Doric inscription identifying him as Poseidon, the god of the sea and earthquakes in Greek mythology, he is depicted armed with a trident and defensive panoply. This particular artwork was discovered in Herakleia's western necropolis. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every intricate detail of this remarkable ceramic vessel through her lens. The image not only highlights the craftsmanship and artistic skill involved but also transports viewers back to ancient Greece. The composition beautifully portrays various elements such as mythological figures like Poseidon himself alongside animals like horses that were significant during that time period. It serves as a testament to both Greco-Roman culture and its influence on contemporary art. Ricciarini's photograph offers us an opportunity to appreciate this historical artifact from Magna Graecia while also reminding us of our connection to ancient civilizations through their artistry and mythology.
