EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Geometric Terracotta Vase, depicting a Funerary Scene from the 8th century BC. Created by the renowned Dipylon Master, an ancient Greek vase painter active between 760-750 BC, this artifact is a testament to the artistic brilliance of that era. The vase features an ekphora, a burial procession scene commonly depicted in ancient Greek funerary art. The intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colors on the terracotta surface add depth and visual appeal to this historic piece. In this particular artwork, horses play a prominent role as they pull a funeral cart carrying the deceased. The attention to detail in capturing their graceful movements and muscular forms is truly impressive. This portrayal not only reflects the significance of horses in ancient Greek culture but also emphasizes their importance in funeral rituals. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of life and death in ancient Greece. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experience across centuries and cultures. This print preserves not only the beauty of this archaeological treasure but also its historical value. It allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of the Dipylon Master and gain insight into ancient Greek burial customs—a fascinating glimpse into our collective past.
