From Corinth to Campania: Studies on Greek Vase-Painting in honour of Ian McPhee

From Corinth to Campania. Studies on Greek Vase-Painting in Honour of Ian McPhee.by Gillian ShepherdThis volume honours the very significant contribution to the study of ancient Greek pottery and vase-painting in Greece and South Italy made by Ian McPhee. Contributions by 20 leading international scholars explore interrelated issues of style, attribution and interpretation central to the field. They address both new vases and old questions and focus variously on painters, specific vessel types and images. Chapters discuss depictions of childhood on choes, hunting dogs and astragal games in Greek vase painting, comic figures on phlyax vases, Hekate in Apulia and Theseus in Magna Graecia, captives and victors in Apulian red-figure and mantle figures in the red-figure pottery of Magna Graecia and Sicily. Vessel types examined include 4th-century BC bell-kraters, conical oinochoai, kothons, early South Italian volute-kraters and fish-plates; and painters include the Painter of Corinth 1937-525, the Painter of the Geneva Orestes, and the Meleager and Jena Painters in the Jatta National Museum in Ruvo di Puglia. The volume provides numerous fresh insights and will be of interest to scholars concerned with all aspects of ancient Greek pottery and vase-painting.Series:Studies in Mediterranean archaeology and literature, 194xxii, 288 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm.Subjects:Children in artCome die grecque IllustrationsDe esses dans l’artDrame satyrique IllustrationsEnfants dans l’artFestschriftenGoddesses in artGreek drama (Comedy) IllustrationsGreek drama (Satyr play) IllustrationsGreek drama (Tragedy) IllustrationsMale nude in artMan-woman relationships in artNu masculinPeinture de vases grecquePrisoners in artPrisonniers dans l’artRelations entre hommes et femmes dans l’artTrage die grecque IllustrationsVase-painting, GreekVases grecs The mes, motifsVases, Greek Themes, motives
