Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)
Colmar Painter
ca. 500 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Interior, youth with javelin Exterior, obverse and reverse, symposium (drinking party) The Colmar Painter belongs to the circle of artists who were influenced by Euphronios and Onesimos. Like many artists working just before and after 500 B.C., he favored athletic scenes because they permitted the depiction of the nude body in a great variety of poses. Behind the youth here is a stone shaft on a plinth that represents the goalpost in the gymnasium.
