EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek pottery - a Proto-Corinthian aryballos with a human head. Crafted around 640 BC, this exquisite work of art is attributed to the talented Macmillan Painter. Standing at a height of 6.3 cm, it can be found in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The aryballos is adorned with an intricately detailed scene depicting combat. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life soldiers engaged in battle, showcasing their bravery and strength. This artwork exemplifies the orientalizing layered wig style combined with elements from the protocorinthian and dedalique styles. Within this small vessel lies not only its practical purpose as a perfumed oil jar but also a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and warfare. Hoplites, clad in armor and armed for conflict, confront each other on this tiny canvas. Their faces filled with determination and intensity as they clash in fierce confrontation. This photograph captures the essence of conflict and struggle that has permeated human history since time immemorial. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination we have with our own capacity for both violence and heroism. Peter Willi's expert photography preserves this extraordinary artifact for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance without commercial intent or use restrictions imposed upon it by copyright laws.
