EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Lucanian Calyx-Krater, a remarkable piece of earthenware dating back to around 400 BC. Created by the talented Policoro Painter during the 5th-4th century BC, this ancient artifact measures an impressive 50.5x49.9 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The intricate design on this calyx-krater transports us into a world of Greek mythology and enchantment. The chariot depicted in vibrant red figures draws our attention to its female passengers, who exude power and grace as they navigate through this mythical realm. Serpents gracefully intertwine themselves around the container's body, symbolizing both danger and wisdom. Every detail on this ceramic masterpiece tells a story steeped in ancient lore. Winged creatures soar above, while mythological figures such as Erinyes and Medea make their presence felt amidst a sea of vivid colors that bring life to this vessel from antiquity. As we gaze upon this lucanian calyx-krater, we are transported back in time to an era where myths were revered and pottery was not just functional but also served as a canvas for artistic expression. This urn serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history—a reminder that even after centuries have passed, art continues to captivate our imagination with its timeless beauty.
