EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure plate from the 6th century BC, currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The plate depicts a mounted archer dressed in oriental costume, skillfully captured by Roman artist Paseas or possibly John Henderson. Measuring 18.4 cm in diameter, this Athenian red-figure plate is a true masterpiece. The central focus of the artwork is undoubtedly the mounted archer, whose elegant pose and intricate attire immediately catch the eye. The inscription "Miltiades kalos" adds an intriguing historical element to this already fascinating piece. The attention to detail on this ceramic plate is truly remarkable; every stroke and line contribute to its overall beauty. The vibrant red hues characteristic of attic pottery further enhance its visual appeal. Horses have always been symbols of strength and grace, and here we see one depicted with utmost precision alongside its rider. This image evokes a sense of movement and power as horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also a popular sport during ancient times. As we admire this stunning piece, we are transported back in time to witness both artistic mastery and cultural significance intertwined on this small yet impactful canvas.
