This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek civilization, specifically from the 6th century BC. The image features a detailed section of a calyx-krater attributed to the renowned Painter of Kleophrades. In this particular fragment, we are presented with an intriguing scene depicting a discobolus and his trainer. The naked athlete, poised in mid-action as he prepares to throw the discus, is captured with exceptional artistry and precision. His well-defined muscles and focused expression convey both strength and determination. Standing beside him is his coach, draped in a flowing robe that adds an element of elegance to the composition. Crafted using red-figure pottery techniques, this exquisite artwork exemplifies the mastery of ceramics during ancient times. The studio shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously etched onto the surface of this archaeological artifact.
