Castellani painter, Tyrrhenian amphora (killing the niobids, Heracles and Nessos), clay, quickly turned, painted (pottery), alternately fired, clay, total: height: 41.6 cm; diameter: 24.7 cm; muzzle diameter: 14.2 cm, inscription: shoulder side A: Shoulder: A, Pottery, Hercules and Deianira, the daughter of Oeneus, Hercules shoots the centaur Nessus, who wants to kidnap Deianira, Niobe, sirens, panther, deer, goat, poultry (rooster, hen, chicken etc.) On the Attic black-figured neck amphora of the Castellani painter, composed of numerous fragments, the killing of the niobids by the gods Apollo and Artemis is depicted on the shoulder of side A. It is the oldest representation of the killing of the niobids in Greek art. The vessel is a so-called Tyrrhenian amphora, a special form of cervical amphora with an ovoid body and cylindrical neck, produced between 570 and 550 BC. It owes its name to over 200 vases found in Etruria (the Greeks called the Etruscans Tyrrhenoi). While the neck of the vase is decorated with a double lotus-palmette ribbon, the body has two circumferential animal friezes in the lower half with rams, deer, panthers, goats, cocks and sirens above a halo of rays. A third frieze again consists of a lotus-palmette band, above which is a double dotted band bordered by three lines each. Between the handles on the upper part of the body, on the shoulder, there is a picture field on each side, above which is a continuous, alternating red-and-black tongue band. Side A shows a scene consisting of six figures: two boys and two girls in turn hurry from left to right and turn their heads backwards to their pursuer, an archer. He is dressed in a short belted chiton, a nebris (animal skin) and boots. He has the arrow ready to fire. The boys, with a long braid, wear their coats over their left arm and raise their left leg and left arm at the same time in the typical archaic way of running. The girls are dressed in long robes. The skin areas were originally accentuat.
