Ancient Greek Vases

A collection of intricate terracotta vases, depicting scenes of mythology and warfare, showcasing vibrant colors and distinctive styles from the Classical period.

Attic Black-Figure Neck Amphora; Near Medea Group, Greek (Attic), active 530 - 510 B.C.; Athens, Greece, Europe; about 510 B.C.; Terracotta; Object: H.: 36.2 x D.: (mouth) 16.2 x W.: (body) 23.5 cm (14 1/4 x 6 3/8 x 9 1/4 in.)

Terracotta hydria (water jar) ca. 350-320 B.C. Attributed to the Group of Naples 3227 On the body, return of a mounted warriorOn the shoulder, tritonsUnder the handles, head of a womanAn Italic warrior, wearing the characteristic plumed helmet, is greeted by a woman who holds the horse's bridle and an attendant carrying the oinochoe and phiale (jug and libation bowl) for an offering. The scene is remarkable for the freshness of the color. Of equal note are the triton and tritoness on the shoulder. The rarity of marine mythology in South Italian vase-painting contrasts greatly with Athenian practice.. Terracotta hydria (water jar) 246937

Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) 5th century B.C. Greek, South Italian, Campanian Obverse, figure seated at altarReverse, recumbent satyrThere are numerous noteworthy iconographical features on this vase. The figure seated next to a flaming altar is most unusual, at least from the perspective of Greek iconography. It raises the question whether the figure and the altar have been conflated from two separate, though related, scenes. On the reverse, the satyr's hooves are articulated with particular delicacy, almost as though they were fancy shoes.. Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) 247215

Lateral extensions of the handle, at the rim, end in plastic monkeys' heads.The decoration of this jug illustrates the combination of technical ambition and artistic uncertainty that often appears in the very earliest red-figure vases.

Terracotta volute-krater (vase for mixing wine and water) ca. 320-310 B.C.

Although they produced vases of diverse shapes andsizes, these artists are associated most often with large works virtually the whole surface of which is decorated. The vase becomes a kind of compendium of iconography and patternwork. It is important to recall that antiquarians of the eighteenth century first encountered Greek vasepainting in examples such as this one, discovered in 1785 and acquired by the king of Naples for his palace atCapodimonte. Although imperfectly understood, the vases were recognized as ancient and impressive; they quickl

Dionysos, the god of wine, reclines on a couch in a hilly setting with a spreading vine. A young man and an old satyr attend to the wine--worthy of notice is their calyx-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water) decorated with a satyr and maenad, followers of Dionysos. In front of the god is a surface with bread and fruit. The woman at right brings grapes in a flat basket. Although the drawing is facile, the figures are substantial and individually characterized.

With the help of the gods and the sorceress Medea, Jason was able to take the fleece from a grove protected by a dragon. Here, with Athena beside him, he reaches for the fleece. A companion prepares to board the ship.The basis of the legend of the Golden Fleece is probably the ancient practice of extracting alluvial gold by causing the deposits in a stream to wash over a fleece, thereby catching the gold-bearing material in the curly pelt.

Terracotta hydria: kalpis (water jar) early 4th century B.C.

Hydria (Water Jar) 470 BCE-460 BCE Athens. Created by an artist known as the Leningrad Painter, the front of this vessel shows a young couple embracing as three other young women look on. Intimate scenes of couples kissing are unusual in Greek art, especially for women of the Athenian upper class, indicating that the participants depicted here are probably courtesans known as hetairai. Under the foot is an incised letter - upsilon, lambda or gamma - presumably a very simple traderís mark.This vase is decorated in the red-figure technique. Invented in Athens around 530 BCE, the red-figure technique reverses the decorative black-figure scheme. While both techniques applied a gloss, or slip made from refined clay, to all areas intended to be black, the figures here are now reserved, or left in the color of the clay, which was then intensified by the application of an orange overwash. Barely discernible are sketch marks, as well as lines of thicker gloss outlining the contours of the figur

The elongated women in fluidly pleated garments move slowly forward on the obverse and stand still on the reverse. Their instruments, drinking cups, torches, and thyrsoi (fennel stalks) introduce variety into a composition that might otherwise appear stiff.

Etruscan Upper frieze, Herakles and centaursLower frieze, flutist leading procession of womenThe upper frieze, depicting Herakles in the company of three centaurs, is perhaps a reference to the story of the Greek hero's battle with Pholos and his fellow centaurs. The scene below has no obvious narrative connection to that one. This shape, frequently made of alabaster and copied by Corinthian potters, is rare with Etruscan potters working in Southern Etruria..

Date: ca. 440 B.C..Warrior departingThe squat lekythos became a significant shape favored by the best Attic painters of the second half of the fifth century B.C., as the pieces in this gallery attest. The shape seems to have been used for red-figure decoration as the standard lekythos was increasingly decorated in the white-ground technique--a development in which the Achilles Painter played a major role. This example is larger than the usual squat lekythos. The potting and decoration are especially fine. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
