EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite detail from an ancient terracotta amphora, dating back to 620 BC. The artwork, created by a Greek artist in the 7th century BC, is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The focal point of this intricate design is a gorgona, a mythical creature from Greek mythology. With its striking features and enigmatic expression, the gorgona adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the piece. This particular amphora is known as Nessos (or Nessus), named after the painter who adorned it with his skillful brushstrokes. Measuring at an impressive 122 cm tall, this terracotta vase exemplifies the craftsmanship of ancient Greece.
