About the Item

Attributed to The Painter of Naples 1778. Elegantly potted this kylix sits on a high foot, with a lively painted satyr and draped female figure decorating the tondo. The satyr stands with his head turned back, holding a thyrsos and rhyton, while the female is seen gazing forward as she holds a mirror and fillet and gently bends her left leg. The pair of figures stand on an egg and dart groundline, flanked on either side by a beautifully painted swan and hound. Enclosed within a band of ivy and berries, a quartered and ribboned ball and two ivy leaves are seen in the field, with a palmette flanked by foliate scrolling in the exergue. The exterior displays a band of dotted laurel interspersed with large roundels decorated with rays, waves and zigzags, all finished by details in added white and yellow. Notes South Italian pottery is a classification for works produced throughout Magna Graecia. The five main centers of production for South Italian wares were, Apulia, Lucania, Paestum, Campania, and Sicily. Each colony developed upon earlier red-figure styles of painting and forms, with some taking the embellishments to new levels. This kylix by the Painter of Naples 1778 displays many stylistic traits of Paestan wares. The expressive lean of the female figure, the added adornments in white and yellow, and the exuberant use of tendrils and foliate designs throughout. Provenance Dr. Schweizer collection, Switzerland. Frank Sternberg AG, Zurich, 1993. Antiquities Christie's London, May 1, 2013. Private Collection, Los Angeles California.
