Document Details : Title: A Siana Cup of Heidelberg Painter from Histria Author(s): BÎRZESCU, Iulian Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 15 Date: 2016 Pages: 139-145 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.15.0.3167468 Abstract : This article discusses a fragmentary Siana cup found in the Sacred Area of Histria in 2007. The cup belongs to the Heidelberg Painter and shows a scene with a row of six men in a Dionysian procession. A cup of unknown provenance bearing an almost identical scene appeared in the Bosshard Collection in Basel. Such votaries of Dionysos are a common and original theme in the work of Heidelberg Painter. As inspiration he had the work of the C Painter, one of the earlier masters of Siana cup. Cups of the Heidelberg Painter were found very often in Ionian sanctuaries and it seems to have influenced some Ionian artists. |
