EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of "Scylla" a vessel dating back to 375-350 B. C. Crafted by the talented Black Fury Group, active in the early 300s B. C. , this masterpiece can be found within the prestigious collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The vessel itself, known as a krater or kylix, served as a wine cooler during ancient times. Its intricate design and attention to detail make it an exceptional example of applied arts from Apulian culture. Made from clay and adorned with delicate paintwork, Scylla depicts scenes from Greek mythology, specifically referencing Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". Within this piece, we witness Scylla and Charybdis - two mythical creatures that posed great danger to sailors navigating treacherous waters. This allegorical representation not only serves as a reminder of ancient legends but also reflects themes found in literature throughout history. As we delve into classical antiquities through this photograph, we are transported back in time to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship and artistic expression prevalent during this era. The Black Fury Group's contribution to Greek pottery is evident through their mastery of form and storytelling ability. This print captures not just an object but also encapsulates centuries worth of mythology, literature, and human creativity at its finest.
