FINAL OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the foregoing discussions of individual potters, painters and workshops, this chapter examines more general matters and trends. It draws, of course, mainly on the 738 cups listed in the catalogue and appendix, which are below referred to as the corpus. Often, however, reference is also made to cups in the rest of the author’s database, that is, outside the corpus. It must be kept in mind that statistics about Athenian pottery are always provisional and subject to change when new (and as yet unpublished) material becomes known; the effect can be particularly significant on our view of potters and painters whose extant, recognized work is small in number.1384 Shape and dimensions (charts 32-33, figs. 125-26) Potter Gordion cup Type B Lip-cup Band-cup Fragment1385 Total Eucheiros 11 2 13 Eucheiros’ son 1 1 Sondros 5 2 5 12 Sokles 2 5 5 4 16 Xenokles 26 8 2 36 Potter of London B 425 3 3 6 Phrynos 1 6 4 1 12 Archikles 1 1 1 3 Glaukytes 2 6 8 Exekias 5 11386 6 Taleides 7 1 8 Hermogenes 1 20 15 36 Tlempolemos 3 1 4 Kaulos 1 1 Thrax 1 1 Hischylos 2 2 Neandros 2 3 2 7 Amasis 3 3 Epitimos 8 8 Nikosthenes 1 2 1 4 Anakles 4 1 5 Nearchos 4 4 Tleson 173 24 30 227 Ergoteles 2 1 3 Centaur Painter 122 41 163 Total 10 408 123 47 541 Chart 32. Numbers of preserved cups according to the catalogued potters and type. Although most potters of little-master cups made both types, some of them may have had a preference (chart 32). A band-cup has not yet been attributed to Eucheiros, Eucheiros’s son, Sondros, Epitimos or Ergoteles, and neither Kaulos, Thrax, Hischylos nor Amasis is known to have fashioned a 1384 Consider, e.g., the recent publication of large amounts of Athenian black-figure from Gravisca (B. Iacobazzi) and the forthcoming publications of Athenian black-figure from Miletus (N. Kunisch) and the Sellada necropolis (N. Malagardis). Cf. also n. 101. 1385 These are fragments of which can not be determined whether they belong to a lip- or band-cup. Obviously, fragments of which the shape can be determined have been counted according to their shape. This applies to all charts in this chapter. The Gordion cups are only mentioned in charts concerning the corpus. 1386 It remains unclear whether band-cup 122, attributed to the Painter of Louvre F 54, who painted the lip-cups of the potter Exekias, was also fashioned by Exekias. 228 lip-cup. Furthermore, considerably more lip-cups are assigned to Xenokles, Tleson and the Centaur Painter, whereas Glaukytes has noticeably more band-cups. In the preceding chapters, the shape characteristics of the cups of individual potters have been noted, for instance the extremely delicate, early cups of Eucheiros, the very large and heavy cups of Epitimos, the curled-up feet of the cups of Neandros and associates, the fine potterwork and low, horizontal handles of Nearchos, and the small cups of both Tleson and the Centaur Painter. Yet a general overall development in both the lip-cup and the band-cup can be discerned (figs. 125-26 on the next pages). Probably the most obvious change is seen in the foot: starting as somewhat trumpet-like, with a thin, rounded base edge, the stems tends to get more slender and higher, as the base becomes sturdier, with a sharp, high edge. The standard little-master foot emerged between c. 555/50 BC and was generally in use from about 550 BC. Over the years, the bowl becomes more shallow and the handles, which are at first rather close to horizontal, curve up more, and the lip tends to stand more upright.1387 Lip-cup diameter Band-cup diameter Extremely small smaller than 12.0 2 (0.3 %) smaller than 12.0 10 (1.0 %) Extra small 12.0 - 13.9 86 (12.7 %) 12.0 - 14.9 73 (7.7 %) Small 14.0 - 16.9 206 (30.5 %) 15.0 - 18.9 50 (5.3 %) Medium 17.0 - 20.9 152 (22.5 %) 19.0 - 22.9 684 (72.2 %) Large 21.0 - 24.9 211 (31.2 %) 23.0 - 26.9 51 (5.4 %) Extra large 25.0 - 29.9 15 (2.2 %) 27.0 - 34.9 74 (7.8 %) Extremely large 30.0 and larger 4 (0.6 %) 35.0 and larger 6 (0.6 %) Chart 33. Diameters of little-master cups in the author’s database.1388 An overall trend in size is not evident. It seems that some potters threw extra large or extremely large lip-cups only, like Epitimos, and others shaped only small or extra small cups of both types, like Xenokles. The section on provenances below considers the sizes of lip- and band-cups in relation to their archaeological contexts with a view to determining whether the different sizes may be indicative of varied usage. The question remains whether the potters and painters of little-master cups specialized in them. Some influence from the painters of Siana cups has been cited above, especially concerning iconography. Furthermore, some Siana potters experimented with the lip-cup shape, as mentioned in the Introduction, and some little-master potters are known to have made Sianas (e.g., Exekias, Taleides, Hermogenes). Finally, the influence by the Heidelberg Painter on the Amasis Painter seems to indicate that the latter was at least very familiar with the former’s work and may have collaborated with him early in his career, as some commentators suggest. Otherwise, close links with Siana workshops have not been recognized. As explained, Eucheiros may have taken over his father’s pottery establishment and collaborated with two other potter-painters, Sondros and Sokles, although it can not be excluded that each of the three ran his own operation. Their only (recognized) work comprises small vessels.1389 Xenokles was responsible for the majority of the cups from his workshop and probably employed a small number of craftsmen: Potter and Painter of London B 425, Mule Painter and a few assistant painters, each represented by a small output.1390 Other shapes are not known to have originated in this pottery establishment. 1387 Clearly, the bowls of lip-cups by Tleson (e.g., 289 and 343) tend to be deeper than their contemporaries (fig. 125). 1388 Obviously, the many small fragments of which the diameter could not be reconstructed, are not counted. 1389 Besides drinking cups, a votive plaque in Athens has recently been attributed to the Sokles Painter by H. Mommsen (NM Acropolis 2526; Mommsen 2005a, 33, pl. 13.5). 1390 It is impossible to determine if the ‘assistants’ made up for their limited output by producing, e.g., black ware. 229 BC 560 1 __________________________________________________________________________________ 555 3 256 264 ___________________________________________________________________________ 550 235 289 __________________________________________________________________________________ 545 88 127 __________________________________________________________________________________ 540 343 __________________________________________________________________________________ 535 178 548 __________________________________________________________________________________ 530 201 __________________________________________________________________________________ 525 Fig. 125.

Another specialized workshop was that of Nearchos, all the more so after Tleson took over the management.

  • Evaluation of Attic Vase Painting in the Context of Art of Painting
    _____________________________________________________ART-SANAT 7/2017_____________________________________________________ EVALUATION OF ATTIC VASE PAINTING IN THE CONTEXT OF ART OF PAINTING ÜFTADE MUŞKARA Assist. Prof., Kocaeli University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Properties [email protected] SERPİL ŞAHİN Res. Assist., Kocaeli University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Painting Department ABSTRACT The attribution of vases to particular individual hands based on the signatures of painters or potters on the vases, the connoisseurship, obtained too much importance especially in the case of Athenian black figure and red figure pottery. It is because; through close examination of details of style it becomes possible to establish the interaction between “artists” and a sequential chronology for vases of black figure and red figure techniques. But some scholars have raised doubts on the limits of such studies. Re- examination of our perception of artist in connection with the attribution studies for Attic figured pottery and the idea supporting connoisseurship are necessary. Determination of figured pottery from a canvas painter’s point of expertise could illuminate the limitations and real context of attribution studies. Keywords: Attic vase painters, attribution studies, the connoisseurship, Morellian method. ATTİK VAZO RESMİNİN RESİM SANATI BAĞLAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ ÖZ Arkeolojide, Attik siyah figür ve kırmızı figür vazolarının vazolar üzerindeki çömlekçi ya da ressam imzalarından yola çıkarak özellikle belirli bireylere, ressamlara, atfedilmesi çok önem taşıyan çalışmalardır. Bunun nedeni, vazo resimlerinin detaylı incelenmesi ve stil kritiği ile ressamlar arasında ilişkiyi kurmak ve siyah figür ve kırmızı figür vazolar için bir kronoloji oluşturmanın mümkün olmasıdır.Ancak bu alanda çalışan bazı bilim insanlarının, çalışmaların sınırları ile ilgili şüpheleri vardır.

  • The Sandal As a Hitting Implement in Athenian Iconography ✉ Yael Young1,2
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00558-z OPEN A painful matter: the sandal as a hitting implement in Athenian iconography ✉ Yael Young1,2 The article examines a series of images on Athenian ceramic vases in which sandals are depicted as a hitting implement. This iconographic motif appears mainly in two contexts: educational scenes, where an adult hits a subordinate, and erotic scenes, where the hitting 1234567890():,; action is almost always performed by males upon female prostitutes. The utilisation of this specific mundane object, rather than equally available others, for these violent acts is explored in light of psychologist James J. Gibson’s term “affordance”, which refers to the potentialities held by an object for a particular set of actions, stemming from its material properties. I suggest that the choice of the sandal is not arbitrary: it supports these aggressors’ desire to cause pain to those of lower status, thereby controlling and humiliating them. The affordances of the sandal, stemming from its shape and material and the inherent potentialities for action, are perceived and exploited by the hitters. Though not designed as a hitting implement, in the hands of these privileged figures in these specific situations, the mundane, ordinary sandal becomes the medium, a social agent, by which their control attains physical embodiment. Thanks to the Athenian vase painters, we are able to register and visualise latent affordances of the sandal that previously lay out of sight. It seems that in the context of Athenian society, the supposed dichotomy between the ordinary usage and the extraordinary violent usage of the sandal collapses.

This was duly found and is here presented for the first time thanks to the generosity of those in charge of that treasure-house." The judicious analysis of the subject on the interior of the Bryn Mawr fragment (PLATE 3 fig. 2b) can be amended by looking at its back (PLATE 5 fig. 2 a b).

  • Notes on Amasis and Ionic Black-Figured Pottery
    Originalveröffentlichung in: The Journal of Hellenic Studies 19, 1899, S. 135-164 NOTES ON AMASIS AND IONIC BLACK-FIGURED POTTERY. [PLATES V., VI.] AMONG the artists who have signed Attic black-figured vases perhaps the most singular and interesting personality is the potter and painter Amasis. He is interesting both as one of the masters of that delicate decorative work, which gives b.f. vases their artistic value, and through the curious contradictions which can be traced in his style. Only seven vases bearing his signature are known up till now,1 yet each shows characteristic peculiarities of shape, decoration, or style, which one would seek for in vain among the mass of contemporary Attic pottery. No artist has surpassed Amasis in easy mastery and accuracy of drawing, or in the painstaking, delicate treatment of detail; yet his figures are often rigid and affected, his choice of subjects monotonous and limited. The technique and style of his vases, the alphabet and dialect of their inscriptions prove that he worked in Athens; yet both his numerous peculiarities of style and his name seem to denote a foreign origin. It is but natural that so peculiar and interesting an artist should have excited curiosity to trace his origin and influence, and the wish to enrich the scanty stock of his work which we possess, by unsigned vases that may be attributed to him. Studniczka (Ephem. Archaeol. 1886, 117, PI. 8, 3) has published a fragment of an amphora found on the Acropolis of Athens, which he considers, with some probability, to be a work of Amasis, and has added some interesting remarks on the artist's origin.
