Apulian red-figure bell krater. Greece. South Italian. ca. 370-325 B.C. Side A with a standing, naked young man, an athlete or maybe a satyr with the left leg elevated and supported on a pedestal. He appears holding garlands in his hands and wearing only a ribbon in his hair, bracelets and sandals and a dotted ribbon on his chest. He appears looking back. Behind him there is a plant and a tympanum. Side B with a drapped maenad in the same position with her left foot on a plant and looking back. Palmettes under handles. Band of wavy motifs under main field. Laurel wreath under rim.

The krater was made to be used at a symposion or by someone aspiring to host one. In ancient Greek society, it was crucial to mix wine with water, as drinking undiluted wine was seen as the actions of a drunkard. This is a "plain style" red-figure bell krater. The "plain style" refers to bell kraters that have no more than four figures. Although the earliest bell kraters were made for elites, after the middle of the fourth century, they became one of the earliest known crafts produced for the masses. These also drew inspiration from Attic pottery (perhaps by emigration by Athenian artists during the Peloponnesian War), but, because they were produced by Greek colonists in South Italy, have distinctly Italian elements.

Dimensions: 34,50 x 30,00 cm.

Condition: Restored over fracture lines from original fragments. Good condition.

Provenance:

- Spanish antiquarian.
- C.R. Private Collection since 2023 ( France )
- P.L private collection since 1985 ( France )

Notes:

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this lot. The piece includes spanish export license for the European Union. If the piece goes outside the European Union a new export license will be requested. This process can take between 2 and 4 week.s
