EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art from the ancient Etruscan civilization. The alabaster urn, dating back to the 2nd century B. C. , features a stunning relief depicting a pivotal moment in classical mythology. In this close-up shot, we see Achilles, the legendary Greek hero, stealthily ambushing and ultimately slaying Troilus, son of Priam. The intricate carving on the urn beautifully captures the intensity of this tragic event. Achilles is depicted standing tall with his helmet and shield, while Troilus appears vulnerable and naked before his imminent death. With sword in hand, Achilles strikes a fatal blow as he holds down his helpless opponent. Every detail on this bas-relief tells a story steeped in history and mythological significance. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly remarkable; it's evident that great skill was employed to create such lifelike human and animal representations. As we gaze upon this artifact from centuries past, we are transported back in time to an era when these tales were revered and celebrated. This single object serves as a testament to the enduring power of art and craft throughout human civilization. Displayed indoors against a neutral background, this alabaster urn demands our attention with its powerful imagery. It reminds us of our connection to ancient cultures and their rich traditions while offering insight into classical mythology characters like Achilles - brave soldiers who have left an indelible mark on history.
