EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Pyxis, a container for personal objects dating back to 730-720 BCE in ancient Greece. Crafted by an unknown artist during the 8th century BC, this piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greek civilization. The photograph captures every detail of this terracotta masterpiece with stunning clarity. The geometric patterns adorning its surface create a mesmerizing visual effect that speaks to the skill and creativity of its creator. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and liveliness to the design, making it truly stand out. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn towards the lid adorned with an exquisite horse motif. This symbolizes strength and grace, reflecting the importance placed on these qualities in ancient Greek culture. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts from Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, this Pyxis serves as a window into history. It offers us insight into daily life in ancient Greece - how people stored their personal belongings while also appreciating artistry and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact through our modern lens, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. This Pyxis not only represents an object used for practical purposes but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout time.
