EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure calyx-krater, a vessel used for mixing wine and water during ancient Greek symposiums. Created by the renowned artist Euphronios in approximately 510 BC, this masterpiece depicts the legendary hero Herakles engaged in a fierce wrestling match with Antaeus. The scene is set against the backdrop of Cervetri, Italy, where this remarkable pottery piece was discovered. Standing at an impressive height of 46 cm, it now resides in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Euphronios skillfully captures the intensity and power of this struggle between two formidable opponents. The intricate details on this red-figure vase bring to life Herakles' muscular physique and wild beard as he grapples with Antaeus, a barbarian giant known for his invincibility when touching his mother earth. Symbolizing not only physical strength but also civilization's triumph over savagery, this artwork serves as a testament to Greek culture's appreciation for athleticism and heroic tales. The use of vibrant red figures against a black background adds depth and drama to the composition. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this Attic red-figure calyx-krater invites viewers to immerse themselves in the ancient world while marveling at Euphronios' exceptional craftsmanship.
