This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient art, the "Antiquite etrusque: crater in bell representing the destruction of Troy". Created by Etruscan artists during the 4th century BC, this ceramic masterpiece is housed in Rome's Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia. The intricate detail captured in this photograph reveals a fascinating scene from Greek mythology. At its center, we witness Menelas, a valiant fighter and king of Sparta, standing face-to-face with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To their right stands Helene, renowned for her unparalleled beauty and infamous role as the catalyst for the Trojan War. This particular detail highlights their entangled destinies amidst the backdrop of Troy's tragic demise. The craftsmanship exhibited on this vase is awe-inspiring; every brushstroke tells a story steeped in history and mythological lore. Its discovery at Falerii Veteres (Civita Castellana) further adds to its significance as it provides insight into Etruscan civilization.
