EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient Greece, showcasing the intricate details of servants preparing food for a symposium. Taken from an Early Corinthian black-figure column-krater, this artwork dates back to around 600 BC and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image transports us to a bustling kitchen where skilled cooks are seen meticulously handling various culinary tasks. The servants' focused expressions and swift movements reveal their dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience for the symposium attendees. The column-krater itself showcases exquisite craftsmanship with its ornate handle and delicate black figure vase. This pottery piece not only serves as a vessel but also tells stories through its intricate designs. In this particular detail, we witness the artistry involved in meat preparation as one servant expertly wields a knife while another stands by attentively. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as aromas waft through the air, promising delectable dishes that will soon grace the tables of esteemed guests. Through Peter Willi's lens, we are given an extraordinary glimpse into ancient Greek culture and their appreciation for fine cuisine. This photograph reminds us of how food has always played a significant role in bringing people together throughout history - whether it be at grand symposiums or intimate gatherings.
