EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Corinthian Lekythos with warriors, dating back to around 575 BC. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where brave men stood tall and ready for battle. These courageous warriors are depicted in vivid colors, their naked bodies serving as a symbol of strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The composition captures the essence of warfare in ancient times, as the men hold their weapons with precision and determination. With spears aimed forward and shields held high, they exude an aura of readiness to defend their country against any threat that may arise. The Corinthian Lekythos itself is a remarkable artifact from this era. Its intricate design reflects the craftsmanship of skilled artisans who created not only functional homeware but also works of art. This vase serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Corinth, showcasing its contribution to Greek history. As we gaze upon this historic object through the lens of Mike Dixon's camera, we are reminded of the timeless concept of war and its impact on civilizations throughout time. It invites us to reflect on our own notions about weaponry, nudity, and warfare while appreciating the beauty found within ancient Greek culture. This print by CM Dixon allows us to delve into the depths of ancient Greece's past without leaving our present-day surroundings—a window into history preserved for generations to come.
