EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a GR. 1-1927 Attic red figure cup, dating back to 520-510 BC. Created by the renowned artist Nikosthenes, this clay masterpiece measures 10 cm in diameter and is now housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. The image depicts a banqueter with a drinking horn, immersed in an ancient Greek symposium. The banqueter's beard and draped attire highlight his masculinity and add an air of sophistication to the scene. As he raises his drinking horn, one can almost imagine him participating in lively conversations and indulging in merriment during this feast. The tondo format adds visual interest to this composition, drawing our attention towards the central figure while also allowing us glimpses into other elements of the banquet happening around him. This pioneer group captures not only their love for drink but also their appreciation for artistry and culture. With its rich historical significance and artistic finesse, this print transports us back in time to experience firsthand an ancient Greek feast filled with camaraderie and revelry. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, human nature remains unchanged – we still find joy in coming together over food and drink to celebrate life's pleasures.
