Título:
Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) with lid and knob (27.16)
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Cuello-ánfora (tarro) de terracota con tapa y pomo (27.16). Cultura: griego, ático. Dimensiones: H. 18 1/2 pulg. (47 cm) de diámetro 9 3/4 pulg. (24,8 cm). Fecha: ca. 540 a.C. En el cuerpo, anverso y reverso, hombre y mujer en carro acompañados por mujer y cítara. En el hombro, combate de infantería y jinetes. La figura negra era una técnica engorrosa, restringida y bastante artificial. Los jarrones de esta sala dan testimonio de la variedad de efectos y de la contundencia expresiva que, no obstante, está permitida. Probablemente el mayor artista individual de figuras negras fue Exequias, que era ceramista y pintor. Aunque los ingredientes esenciales de esta obra son tradicionales, su particular carácter se manifiesta en la forma robusta, la extraordinaria precisión y vitalidad de las figuras y ornamentos, y la perfecta relación de los elementos decorativos con el cuerpo que se encuentra debajo.
