EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning red figure pottery piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greece, showcased in the hallowed halls of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Dating back to the classical era, this ancient Greek ceramic masterpiece is a prime example of the red figure technique, which emerged around 530 BC. The technique involves applying a red slip over a black background, allowing the intricate details of the scene to be highlighted in sharp relief. The mythological scene depicted on this vase is a captivating representation of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, as she rides in a chariot pulled by winged horses. The goddess is shown wearing her iconic Aegis, a protective shield adorned with the Gorgon Medusa's head. The vessel's handle, shaped like a winged figure, adds to the overall decorative beauty of the piece. This red figure pottery is a precious relic from a civilization that has left an indelible mark on Western art and culture. The intricate details and mythological scenes etched into the ceramic vessels serve as a window into the beliefs, values, and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Greeks. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, with its extensive collection of Greek and Roman antiquities, offers visitors a glimpse into the historical past and a deeper appreciation for the artistic achievements of ancient civilizations.
