EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic Black-Figure Nikosthenic Amphora, a masterpiece attributed to the renowned Greek painter N. Created between 540 and 520 B. C. , this ancient artifact is signed by the esteemed artist Nikosthenes, who was active in Athens during that period. The amphora, originating from Athens, Greece, stands at a height of 31 cm with a body diameter of 18.5 cm. Its rim measures approximately 12.7 cm in diameter while the foot has a diameter of around 11.3 cm. Crafted from terracotta, this remarkable object represents the epitome of Greek artistic skill and craftsmanship. The black-figure technique employed on this amphora involves painting figures in black against a reddish-orange background, creating striking contrasts and intricate details. The scene depicted on this particular piece remains unknown but undoubtedly holds significant historical or mythological significance. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work of art captured through photography by the Liszt Collection, we are transported back over two millennia to witness the beauty and cultural richness of ancient Greece. This image serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout history and reminds us of our shared heritage as partakers in the vast tapestry of human civilization.
