EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Olympian charioteer being crowned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and triumph. Published in 1808-10, this color lithograph by the French School of the 19th century showcases exquisite details from an ancient Etruscan motif. The image is derived from a binding of "Peintures de Vases Antiques Vulgairement Appeles Etrusques" by Aubian Louis Millin de Grandmaison, accompanied by A. Dubois Maisonneuve's introduction to the study of antique clay-painted vases commonly known as Etruscan. This illustration is part of The Stapleton Collection and belongs to a private collection. In this monochrome design, we witness the decorated ceramic vessel portraying a male charioteer adorned with wings and ornate decorations that epitomize his status as a champion. The red figure on the pottery highlights his athletic prowess during the Olympic Games. The composition exudes power and dynamism, capturing the intensity of racing in ancient times. It serves as a reminder that victory was not merely about physical strength but also about strategic skill and determination. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where athletes competed for glory under Nike's watchful eye – goddess of victory herself. This decorative piece celebrates both sport and artistry while honoring those who emerged triumphant in their endeavors.
