EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to ancient Greece, specifically the 6th century B. C. , as we explore a mesmerizing detail of a Gorgon on a Bronze Vix krater. This vase, once used to mix wine and water, was discovered in the Vix Grave located in Bourgogne, France. Now housed in the Musee Du Chatillonnais (Archaeological Museum), it stands as a testament to an extraordinary ancient civilization. The Gorgon depicted on this artifact is both enchanting and fearsome. With its tongue sticking out defiantly, it embodies the mythical creature's ability to petrify anyone who gazes upon it. Greek mythology comes alive through this single object that showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. As we delve into history through this studio shot, we are reminded of the significance of bronze antiquities like this one. They offer glimpses into past civilizations and their cultural practices while also serving as archaeological artifacts that shed light on human representation throughout time. Intriguingly fictional yet undeniably powerful, the Gorgon with its protruding human tongue captivates our imagination. This image captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also invites contemplation about ancient beliefs and legends that have shaped our understanding of humanity's rich heritage.
