EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure plate adorned with a mesmerizing depiction of a mounted archer. Created by the talented Greek artist Paseas from Chuisi around 520-510 BC, this ceramic masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The plate's intricate design captures the essence of ancient Greek artistry and storytelling. The mounted archer, dressed in either Persian or Scythian attire, stands out against the backdrop of a tondo (circular) shape. With his bareback posture and poised bow, he exudes strength and skill as he prepares to release an arrow from his quiver. Every detail on this pottery piece has been meticulously crafted - from the elaborate costume to the carefully inscribed markings that adorn its surface. This artwork offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and their encounters with barbarian civilizations. Some speculate that this scene may depict an Amazon warrior or even Miltiades himself, famous for leading Athens to victory against Persia at Marathon. Regardless of its exact interpretation, it serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. As we admire this remarkable artifact through our photo print, let us appreciate not only its beauty but also its ability to transport us back in time - allowing us to connect with ancient civilizations through their art and stories.
