This volume, highlighting the development of Greek art from the dawn of the Iron Age to the age of Alexander, features forty-four exceptional ancient Greek, Etruscan, and Italic vases. These painted vessels - monuments to the search by Greek artists for the means of realizing on a small scale, on a tw…o-dimensional surface, accurate renderings of the human form, human spaces, and divine narratives - are masterpieces of the potter's craft and the painter's art. The Greek artists represented - including the Athenians: Andokides, the Berlin Painter, Epiktetos, the Painter of the Madrid Fountain, the Tarquinia Painter, as well as the Baltimore Painter of Magna Graeci - are some of the masters of the medium. The varied types of vessels span the ancient Greek and Italian world both chronologically and geographically. Reproduced in ninety-three color plates and accompanied by critical texts documenting each vase and interpreting the meaning of the painted subjects, the vases commend themselves not only for their quality and excellent state of preservation, but for their range of imagery. Many are published here for the first time.
