- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Lucanian, probably Pisticci Painter, ca. 430 to 410 BCE. A lovely red-figure pinkware pottery bell krater depicting a nude athlete on horseback carrying a baton with a flowing ribbon on one side, and a profile head of an athlete wearing a laurel wreath on the other. Adorning the upper border is a band of repeated laurel leaves. Large stylized palmettes adorn the areas below each handle. Finally, below the figural panels is a Greek key border. A wonderful example that has been attributed to the Pisticci Painter who is particularly important, because he introduced the red-figure technique to Lucania. Size: 8.125" W handlespan x 7.375" H (20.6 cm x 18.7 cm)
Trendall named the Pisticci Painter after a small town west of Metaponto. His was the earliest South Italian workshop to produce red-figure vases. Early on, his work was very close to Athenian models; however, in time he developed his own more individual style.
For an analogous bell krater by the Pisticci Painter, see this example at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Accession Number 96.18.57) - https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/246575
