Terracotta Neck-Amphora Attributed to Exekias in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2013
Terracotta neck-amphora (jar)
Attributed to Exekias
Period: Archaic
Date: ca. 540 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; black-figure
Dimensions: H. 18 1/2 in. (47 cm) diameter 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1917
Accession Number: 17.230.14a, b
Description:
On the body, obverse and reverse, man and woman in chariot accompanied by woman and kithara player
On the shoulder, combat of foot soldiers and horsemen
Black-figure was a cumbersome, restricted, and quite artificial technique. The vases in this room testify to the variety of effect and the forcefulness of expression that is nonetheless permitted. Probably the greatest single black-figure artist was Exekias, who was both potter and painter. Although the essential ingredients of this work are traditional, its particular character is evident in the robust shape, the extraordinary precision and vitality in the figures and ornament, and the perfect relation of the decorative elements to the body beneath.
