Terracotta Stamnos Attributed to the Menelaos Painter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2012
Terracotta stamnos (jar)
Attributed to the Menelaos Painter
Period: Classical
Date: ca. 450 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; red-figure
Dimensions: H. 14 7/8 in. (37.8 cm) diameter 11 7/8 in. (30.2 cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1906
Accession Number: 06.1021.178
Description:
Obverse and reverse, maenads making music
Wine, women, and song are integrated here into an exceptionally rhythmical composition. The elongated women in fluidly pleated garments move slowly forward on the obverse and stand still on the reverse. Their instruments, drinking cups, torches, and thyrsoi (fennel stalks) introduce variety into a composition that might otherwise appear stiff. The quality of the music is conveyed more by the movement of the figures than by facial expressions.
