Item Details

Description

Greece, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 330 BCE. Finely painted via the red-figure technique, an elegant pelike vessel of a classic globular form with a cylindridal neck rising to a flared rim, and twin fluted handles, all upon a raised, concave, disc foot. Side A depicts a winged Eros, the Greek god of love (his Roman counterpart being Cupid) - who stands in contrapposto facing toward the left, in the nude save sandals, bracelets, a beaded sash, and a stephane - holding a situla in his left hand and gesturing toward the seated maenad before him. Though with her breasts exposed, the maenad does wear a lower garment, and is bedecked with a stephane, multiple bracelets, and strands of pearls around her neck - all delineated in fugitive white and yellow pigment. She holds a mirror in her left upraised hand and leans upon a tambourine with her right elbow. Above and to the right is a maker's mark of a circular format with a central X that is further adorned by nested wedges and dot motifs. Size: 6.75" in diameter x 9.875" H (17.1 cm x 25.1 cm)

Side B presents two opposing standing draped male figures, the gent on the left leaning upon a walking stick. Complementing the figural program, is a lovely decorative program adorning both sides of the vessel, with bands of laurel leaves above and a repeating Greek key/meander below.

An outstanding example, masterfully wheel thrown, so that we see absolutely no signs of any jogs in the transitions between the different elements of the vase. Moreover, it presents ideal proportions perfect for presenting the superb painted iconographic/decorative program. The painting was executed with the utmost skill and artistry - the red-figure technique enabling the artist to delineate the figures' musculature, facial details, as well as the cascading drapery folds with extensive fugitive paint embellishments.

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
