EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure cup, dating back to around 490 BC. Crafted by the renowned Brygos Painter, this pottery masterpiece is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The intricate detail captured in this image highlights scenes from the infamous Trojan War. In this particular section of the cup, we witness a Greek soldier tending to a wounded Trojan while Andromaque protects Astyanax's escape with a pestle. The intensity of battle can be felt through the vivid depiction of warriors engaged in combat and dying soldiers lying on the battlefield. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical aspects of war but also touches upon themes of medicine and health. The injured warrior receives medical attention as he lies wounded on his back, emphasizing both the brutality and humanity that coexist during times of conflict. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and mythology while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that art has always played a significant role in documenting historical events and capturing emotions that transcend time.
