Antique Greek Kylix with Chariot & Warrior Procession Lithograph, 1883 Original antique color lithograph depicting three ancient Greek kylikes, including a monumental drinking cup decorated with an extensive chariot and warrior procession, published in Berlin in 1883 as part of Albert Genick’s important work on Greek ceramics. This impressive landscape-format archaeological plate is titled “Schalen (Kylix.) – Museum Berlin” and presents three examples of the kylix, the characteristic shallow, stemmed drinking cup of ancient Greece. Dominating the composition is a spectacular large kylix with an exceptionally broad, shallow bowl raised on a tall central stem. A continuous narrative frieze runs around the exterior, populated by numerous warriors, horses and chariots. The densely arranged figures create a dramatic procession across the terracotta-red field, contrasting strongly with the predominantly black body of the vessel. The tall stem is decorated with radiating terracotta ornament and terminates in a broad foot, emphasizing the monumental proportions of the cup. Below are two additional kylikes of contrasting form. The example at lower left carries a red-figure scene with several classical figures arranged around the shallow bowl, while the vessel at lower right is presented primarily for its elegant silhouette and construction. Genick supplements the vessels with precise archaeological studies, including detailed drawings of the handles and a circular ornamental design associated with the pottery. These technical drawings emphasize the scholarly archaeological purpose of the original publication. The combination of monumental scale, chariot imagery, warriors and elegant vessel forms makes this one of the particularly striking kylix plates from the series. The inscription “Museum Berlin” on the plate records the museum association of the illustrated material at the time of publication. The print originates from the second edition of Albert Genick’s important publication on Greek ceramics, published by Ernst Wasmuth in Berlin in 1883. The complete work comprised 36 color lithographic plates, including four double-page plates, illustrating amphorae, kraters, kantharoi, kylikes, bowls, rhyta and other examples of ancient Greek ceramic art. The lithographs were produced by the Berlin printing establishment Hein & Mosler. Albert Genick (1837–1906), a Berlin-trained architect, became particularly known for his precise graphic documentation of ancient ceramics. This publication is regarded as his principal work. Complete examples are rare, and individual plates from the series are increasingly difficult to find.
