Magna Graecia, Apulian, ca. 4th century BCE. A massive red figure skyphos of a classic form presenting an impressive iconographic program. Side A features a winged Eros walking in a graceful manner with his right leg progressing before his left leg, chest facing forward, and visage gazing behind. His wings are elaborately delineated with fugitive yellow and pink pigment, and an altar is presented below the wingtips. The god of love holds a patera adorned with filets in his left hand and a wreath or tambourine in his right hand. Side B features a feminine maiden dressed in a lovely chiton with drapery folds cascading over her figure. Her curly coiffure is raised and dressed with a ribboned stephane. She gazes at the mirror in her right hand and holds a tambourine or wreath in her left hand just above an altar. In addition to this iconography, the decorative program is very well done - featuring bands of egg and dart above and repeating wave motifs below. Size: 16.125" W handle span x 11.75" H (41 cm x 29.8 cm)

What's more, impressive double palmettes adorn the areas beneath the handles. On the underside is a bold makers mark comprised of a red "X" superimposed over two concentric circles.

Perhaps the most exciting innovation in Greek vase painting was the red-figure technique, invented in Athens around 525 BCE and beloved by other artists of Magna Graecia. The red-figure technique allowed for much greater flexibility as opposed to the black-figure technique, for now the artist could use a soft, pliable brush rather than a rigid metal graver to delineate interior details, play with the thickness of the lines, as well as build up or dilute glazes to create chromatic effects. The painter would create figures by outlining them in the natural red of the vase, and then enrich these figural forms with black lines to suggest volume, at times perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life. Beyond this, fugitive pigments made it possible for the artist to create additional layers of interest and detail as we see in this example.

TL test (Thermoluminescence) was conducted on this piece with results consistent with antiquity. Copy of report to accompany item.

Condition

Professionally repaired from multiple pieces with slight repainted areas over the break lines. Expected surface wear with scuffs and minor pigment loss as shown; however, imagery is still quite legible. Black glaze has developed a lovely silvery iridescence.
