EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta Lekythos, dating back to 550-530 BC. Created by the renowned Amasis Painter, this ancient Greek artifact stands at an impressive height of 17.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The image captures the earliest representation of an Attic wedding, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into ancient ceremonial traditions. In this scene, a mule cart adorned with intricate designs carries four guests who follow closely behind the newlywed couple as they make their way towards the groom's house. Other members of the procession can be seen on foot, adding to the grandeur and excitement of this joyous occasion. The black figure painting technique employed by Amasis Painter beautifully depicts various elements of this wedding celebration. From dancing musicians and women carrying oil flasks to donkeys pulling carts and individuals engaged in lively dance moves, every detail has been meticulously captured on this exquisite pottery vessel. As we admire this piece from antiquity, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant moment but also gain insight into Greek culture and customs during that era. The delicate handle and expertly painted scenes further enhance our appreciation for both artistic skill and historical significance encapsulated within this stunning artwork.
