EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ancient Greek amphora from Milos, beautifully captured by the French School in the 19th century. The amphora, a type of jug or pitcher, is depicted with intricate and ornate decorations that reflect the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greece. The image comes from "Histoire de la Ceramique Grecque" (History of Greek Ceramics), a renowned publication by Olivier Rayet and Maxime Collignon. It provides us with a glimpse into the fascinating world of archaeology and art history. In this particular piece, we see horses depicted on the amphora, symbolizing their significance in ancient Greek culture. From racehorses to ponies and even shire horses, these animals were not only admired for their beauty but also played important roles in various aspects of daily life. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every curve and line has been carefully crafted to create a harmonious design. The geometric patterns add depth and complexity to the overall composition, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of ancient Greek potters. As we admire this stunning artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to explore Greece's rich history. This photograph reminds us of how art can transcend centuries and continue to captivate our imagination today.
