Detail of a Terracotta Stamnos Attributed to the Deepdene Painter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2012
Terracotta stamnos with cover (jar)
Attributed to the Deepdene Painter
Period: Classical
Date: ca. 470–460 B.C.
Culture: Greek, Attic
Medium: Terracotta; red-figure
Dimensions: Overall: 15 x 15 3/8in. (38.1 x 39cm); diameter 12 3/8in. (31.4cm)
Classification: Vases
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1917
Accession Number: 17.230.37a, b
Label:
Obverse, King Akrisios watching his daughter Danae and her son Perseus who stand in a chest about to be set adrift
Reverse, Danae's seated mother, a standing servant with basket, and a carpenter holding a hammer
When King Akrisios of Argos was informed by an oracle that his grandson would kill him, he locked away his daughter Danaë. Nevertheless, Zeus came to her as a shower of gold and Perseus was born. The king had Danaë and Perseus put into a wooden chest and set adrift to die at sea. After many adventures, including his beheading of Medusa the Gorgon, Perseus returned to Argos and fulfilled the prophecy. Here in a quiet but tense moment, Danaë and the baby react with horror and pleading before the chest is closed.
