| | | Dionysus & Maenads - 540. B.C. | Attic Black figured
Amphora. Exact Museum
Replica. In this
style, the figures
were painted black on
the reddish orange
surface of the vases.
Details within the
silhouetted figures
were incised before
firing. Occasionally
white or purple was
added to the figure
with the female flesh
usually painted
white. Human figures
drawn with greater
skill appeared as
elements of the
principal design.
The stories were
drawn by myths, the
Trojan war, the
adventures of
Odysseus, the
Argonauts and other
great heroes of the
Greek Mythology. Very
popular were also the
capering satyrs and
maenads in the
retinue of god
Dionysus.
