ATTIC RED-FIGURE CALYX-KRATER
Attributable to the Zannoni Painter, ca. 460 - 450 BC
diam. cm 44,5; height cm 42
On the body is represented Poseidon pursuing queen Amymone, daughter of Danaus king of Libya and Europe. The scene is observed by Danaus himself, and either a Nereid or Andromache.
The Zannoni Painter was specialised mostly in lekythoi and other usually small vases, some of them decorated in white-ground: so is not known to have decorated this shape (cf. Beazley ARV² 672-674).
Restored and partially recostructed as visible on the rim; some sporadic lacks, which do not affect the beauty of the composition and quality of the vase.
Provenance. English private collection, purchased in some unidentified auction or Art Gallery during 1970s - 1980s
