  • From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale**
    International Journal of Cultural Property (2006) 13:311–331. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2006 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739106060206 From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale** Abstract: The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum’s acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other objects that have followed the same route. The fabrication of old collections to hide the recent surfacing of antiquities is also explored. In October 2006 the MFA agreed to return to Italy a series of 13 antiquities (Ap- pendix). These included Attic, Apulian, and Lucanian pottery as well as a Roman portrait of Sabina and a Roman relief fragment.1 This return is forming a pattern as other museums in North America are invited to deaccession antiquities that are claimed to have been illegally removed from Italy. The evidence that the pieces were acquired in a less than transparent way is beginning to emerge. For example, a Polaroid photograph of the portrait of Sabina (Appendix no. 1) was seized in the raid on the warehousing facility of Giacomo Medici in the Geneva Freeport.2 Polaroids of two Apulian pots, an amphora (no. 9) and a loutrophoros (no. 11), were also seized.3 As other photographic and documentary evidence emerges dur- ing the ongoing legal case against Marion True and Robert E.

  • Attic Black Figure from Samothrace
    ATTIC BLACK FIGURE FROM SAMOTHRACE (PLATES 51-56) 1 RAGMENTS of two large black-figure column-kraters,potted and painted about j1t the middle of the sixth century, have been recovered during recent excavations at Samothrace.' Most of these fragments come from an earth fill used for the terrace east of the Stoa.2 Non-joining fragments found in the area of the Arsinoeion in 1939 and in 1949 belong to one of these vessels.3 A few fragments of each krater show traces of burning, for either the clay is gray throughout or the glaze has cracked because of intense heat. The surface of many fragments is scratched and pitted in places, both inside and outside; the glaze and the accessory colors, especially the white, have sometimes flaked. and the foot of a man to right, then a woman A.

  • The Recovery of Helen
    THE RECOVERYOF HELEN JrT is my purposehere to examineaspects of the iconographyof the Recoveryof Helen on the night that Troy fell. The attempt seems the more worth while now that a canonical pattern of interpretation is likely to be established by Kunze's short but authoritative study and by the detailed, well-illustrated treatment in the recent book by Mme. Lilly B. Ghali-Kahil.1 The main episodes of the Recovery, established by the end of -the sixth century B.C., are credited to the Cyclic Epic poets Arktinos and Lesches, the lyricists Ibykos and his older contemporary Stesichoros. The first three alone are concerned with the iconography of the Recovery as it appears during the sixth and fifth centuries B.C.2 The earliest extant reference to an episode of the Recovery is found at Andro- mache 627-631, Euripides' play staged about 425 B.C.3 The old lord Peleus speaks, insulting Menelaos: EAXW&E Tpotav..

  • Geryon and Others in Los Angeles
    GERYON AND OTHERS IN LOS ANGELES (PLATES 1-1 1) GERYON G ERYON has always been a creature of the West; and as West has been extended westward, so that poor monster has constantly been dislocated, until at last he finds himself at home whether in Berkeley (C.V., University of California, 1, pl. 21, I a) or now in Los Angeles, where he is located on the following. 1. Los Angeles County Museum A 5832.50.137. Amphora type B. Plates 1-2. Ht. 427 to 431, diam. body 292 to 294 (I give dimensions in millimeters and warn that maximum and minimum figures reflect measurements at no more than two or three points). Put together from fragments with missing pieces restored in plaster on both A and B. A, Herakles fights Geryon; on the ground between them Eurytion, dying, clutches his head (crushed, I suppose, by Herakles' club). Leftmost Geryon falls; rightmost will be next. Modern paint (P1. 1, a) along a fracture-line from Herakles' right buttock downward to a point on his left thigh, thence northeast-southwest across left thigh, pelt's legs, and Herakles' right thigh above knee; Herakles' right leg from (and including) knee to middle of calf, except for a small section of ancient black from upper part of knee to fracture-line across thigh. Modern paint for Eurytion's left leg from knee to middle of calf, the lower part of his right leg and his right ankle, the lower edge of his left thigh and buttock, and the fracture-line crossing his left wrist, chest, neck, and right forearm.

    The Iconography of the Athenian Hero in Late Archaic Greek Vase-Painting Elizabeth Anne Bartlett Tucson, Arizona Bachelor of Art, Scripps College, 2006 Master of Art, University of Arizona, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McIntire Department of Art University of Virginia May 2015 ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ –ABSTRACT– This study questions how Athenian vase-painters represented heroic figures during the late sixth and early fifth centuries B.C. – specifically from the death of Peisistratos in 528 B.C. to the return of Theseus' bones to Athens in 475/4 B.C. The study focuses on three specific Attic cult heroes with a strong presence both in the Greek world and on Athenian vases: Herakles, Theseus, and Ajax. Although individual studies have been published regarding various aspects of these three heroes, such as subject matter, cult worship, literary presence, and social history, the current one departs from them by categorizing, comparing, and contrasting the different portrayals of the three chosen heroes. Using Athenian vases as the primary form of evidence, the current study endeavors to uncover how individual iconography can – or cannot – identify the heroic figure. By using an iconographic approach of looking at attributes, dress, gestures, poses, and composition, a more complete picture of the image of the hero may be understood. Evidence of both the cult of, and importance of, the Athenian hero is stressed both in ancient texts and through archaeological evidence, thus supplemental material is taken into consideration. Illustrations of Greek heroes can be found on a variety of vase shapes of various techniques, and the accompanying catalogue includes almost 300 examples.

  • Masters, Pupils and Multiple Images in Greek Red-Figure Vase Painting
    MASTERS, PUPILS AND MULTIPLE IMAGES IN GREEK RED-FIGURE VASE PAINTING DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Sue Allen Hoyt, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Mark D. Fullerton, Adviser Professor Timothy J. McNiven __________________________ Adviser Professor Howard Crane History of Art Graduate Program Text copyright by Sue Allen Hoyt 2006 ABSTRACT Little is known about Athenian vase-painting workshops of the 6th through 4th centuries BC. Almost no references exist in ancient literature, and there are few archaeological remains besides the vases themselves. I examined the technical details of vase-painting “copies”–images of uncommon scenes on vases by painted different painters– and compared the steps in the painting process, (especially the preliminary sketches), to see if these could supply any information about workshop practices. The research revealed that there are differences in sketches executed by different painters, and that there were often obvious differences in the care exercised in the different steps of the painting process. When the different steps consistently exhibit different levels of skill in execution, this suggests that workshops were organized so that workers with few skills performed the tasks that demanded the least; more-skilled workers painted the less-important borders etc., and the most-advanced painted the figures. On a few vases the sketch lines were more skillfully executed than the paintings that overlay them. Further, in the case of the Marsyas Painter and the Painter of Athens 1472, more than one pair of vases with replicated rare scenes ii exists.

  • Honorary Shares of Sacrificial Meat in Attic Vase Painting
    HESPERIA 78 (2OO9) HONORARY SHARES OF Pages 1-40 SACRIFICIALMEAT IN ATTIC VASE PAINTING Visual Signs of Distinction and Civic Identity ABSTRACT A group of Attic black- and red-figurevases from the late 6th and Sth cen- turies B.C.is decoratedwith scenes that prominently feature legs of meat in iconographiccontexts other than sacrificialbutchering. These leg joints are interpretedas honoraryshares of sacrificialmeat awardedto select individuals at the festivals of the polis; the honoraryshares included more meat than the shares distributedto the general public. Because leg joints were awardedas honoraryshares to the priests who officiated at sacrifices,they came to rep- resent honoraryshares in general. By extension, the leg joints that appearin painted scenes symbolize meritoriousparticipation in city festivals, and thus can be viewed as expressionsof civic identity. In ancient Greece, animal sacrificewas a practicethat honored the gods and brought people together through the sharing of meat.1 It was widespread at the level of the state, which organized large sacrifices during important festivals and distributed meat to the people, as well as in private life. As an integral part of private and public life in ancient Athens, animal sacrifice inspired Attic vase painters, who often depicted various aspects of the sacrificialprocess, such as the procession to the altar,the butchering of the animal, the burning of the part offered to the gods on the altar, and the feasting during which the animal was consumed. Visual representations of sacrifice have received much scholarly attention during the past few decades, particularlywith reference to Athens.2 Drawing on earlierscholarship on the visual representationof sacrifice, this article focuses on a related topic.
