Greek Lucanian Bell Krater - Creusa Painter

Item Details

Description

Lucania, Southern Italy, ca. 400 BCE. A beautiful red-figure bell krater, standing on a raised pedestal, flared rim, and twin handles. Side A depicts winged Eros standing between two women, with their hair pulled back in a bandeau and long peploi with double black stripes on lower portions. All three characters have a flamboyant posture backward leaning chest and midsection, bent knee, and arms on hips.
Side B depicts three youths, all cloaked in himatia with a single black band border over shoulders. The youth on the left slightly extends his arm under his himation at the waist.

The Creusa painter was an early painter in the Lucanian shops, closely following in the footsteps of the Amykos Painter. His painting, though taking place in Lucania, was closely related to the painting occurring at the same time in Apulia. His style follows a distinct pattern of using specific characters on each side, Side A always featuring Eros, a warrior, or a youth, and Side B always having a youth on the left with his arm raised beneath his himation.

13"H x 14"W x 13"L.

cf. A.D. Trendall, "Red Figure Vases of South Italy and Sicily," (1989) fg.70-1.

Provenance: Ex-Lupita Tovar, prominent silent film actress in the 1920s - 1940s.
