Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water)
Göttingen Painter
ca. 500 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
On the body, obverse, Herakles and Kyknos Reverse, two revelers On the neck, obverse, on white-ground, hunters and hounds On the topside of the lip, animals The transition from black-figure to red-figure among Athenian artists was neither rapid nor orderly. While the Göttingen Painter used the new technique for the main subjects, he decorated the neck of the obverse in the outmoded combination of silhouette on white-ground. On the lip, he reverted to a practice favored during the second quarter of the sixth century B.C. by black-figure painters.
