About the Item

The Classical Greek amphora with glossy black glaze and elegantly twisted handles. Depicting on one side an Athenian youth resting on a staff and wearing a himation with his right arm and shoulder bare. The reverse side shows a draped woman moving to her left, probably a Maenad, wearing a chiton with a himation over the top, the folds of which are draped over her left arm. She is holding a flaming torch in one hand and a thyrsus in the other. Both figures are standing on a ground line with saltire squares and meander below, there is a band of tongues below the neck. Standing on a short, stepped foot. Such vessels were most likely used to store wine, olives, or oil. For an amphora with twisted handles and a similar scene of a draped youth compare Beazley Archive Pottery Database no. 29016; also a nolan with a similar scene see p. 670, nos. 11 and 12 in J.D. Beazley, 'Attic Red-Figure Vase-painters', Oxford, 1963. This amphora is attributed the Painter of the Louvre Centauromachy (Padgett) who is regarded as having worked in the same circle as the major classical vase-painter, Polygnotos. Similar draped figures and a Maenad carrying the thyrsus and torch can be seen on a krater in the Vatican, attributed by Beazley: Vatican City, Museo Gregoriano Etrusco Vaticano: AST89 (BAPD no. 215495).
