Dionysos and Aphrodite Classical White Attica Hydria Vase
This classical white attica hydria vase is from 400 B.C. In Athens, in the 5th century B.C., while many artists were making red-figure vases, some artists were experimenting with a new technique of painting figures on a white ground. These vases were decorative as well as funerary vases. The artist would use brighter colors; red, blue, and brown. The cloths were lightly painted and revealed the form of the body underneath. Many figures are depicted here, but Dionysos and Aphrodite stand out because they are being attended upon by winged figures handing them vases. Also making appearances are Oepas Kalos and Kalh. Teracotta, hand spun on the wheel, certified by the Greek Ministry with a pewter seal, and measures 13.5" x 10.5" 30.5" Round.
