EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, the Black-Figure Kylix. Created in Sparta, Greece around 540 B. C. , this terracotta object is attributed to the talented Hunt Painter, a renowned artist from Lakonia who was active between 565 and 530 B. C. The kylix itself is a shallow drinking cup with two handles, measuring approximately 8.8 cm in height and boasting an impressive width of 17 cm including its handles. The diameter of the bowl reaches about 11.7 cm. The black-figure technique used on this kylix is characteristic of ancient Greek pottery during this period. It involves painting figures using black glaze against a reddish background, creating striking contrasts that bring the scenes to life. While we cannot delve into commercial use here, it's important to appreciate the historical significance and artistic mastery behind this exquisite artifact. The intricate details depicted by the Hunt Painter transport us back in time to ancient Sparta, offering glimpses into their culture and mythology. This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool for those fascinated by classical antiquity or anyone seeking to explore the rich heritage of Greece and Europe as a whole.
