Greek Apulian Red-Figure Bell Krater - Varrese Painter

Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. mid-4th century BCE. A very fine and large example of a Greek bell krater (mixing bowl) vessel, attributed to the Varrese Painter, one of the more significant painters of the mid-4th century. According to A.D. Trendall, "his work had a considerable influence not only on his immediate followers, but also on the forerunners of the Darius Painter." (A.D. Trendall, Red Figure Vases of South Italy and Sicily. New York: Thames and Hudson, 1989, p. 83.) Well composed of thick terracotta, slipped in black with red figures. This vessel depicts two scenes. Side A has a standing nude youth and a seated maiden, the young male presenting an offering to the lady. Side B depicts two men facing one another, both wrapped in tunics, with the oval-shaped 'signature' of the Varrese Painter between. Beneath handles are traditional palmette designs. On the underside of the rim, a continuous spray of laurel leaves. Beneath the figures a register decorated with a Greek key pattern. In the center of this register is one checkerboard and dot patterned panel that also indicates the piece is by the Varrese Painter. Size: 11-1/8" (28.26 cm) H x 12-3/8" (31.43 cm) in diameter.

The Apulian workshop emerged during the last thirty years of the 5th century BCE. At the beginning of the 4th century BCE, two distinct styles appeared: the Plain style and the Ornate style. This vase is halfway between the two, displaying characteristics of the Plain style (bell-krater, few highlights, iconographic tradition) and the Ornate style (large size, numerous figures, complex decoration).

Provenance: Ex-private Ketchum, Idaho collection, acquired at major auction houses and galleries before 2004.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
