Red-Figure Kylix (Wine Cup) (Primary Title)
attributed to a follower of, Makron, Greek, Athenian, 500–475 BC (Artist)
Athenian vase painters delighted in depicting scenes of everyday life. To indicate that a scene was set inside a building, artists include furniture, such as chairs and chests, as well as household objects, such as the basket shown on the exterior of this vase. Sometimes objects, like the alabastron (perfume bottle) seem to hang in mid-air to indicate the presence of a wall.
