Red-Figure Pottery of Uncertain Origin from Corinth: Stylistic and Chemical Analyses

Abstract

The focus of this article is a group of 18 red-figure fragments or fr vessels found at Corinth whose place of manufacture cannot be by visual analysis. All are datable to the later 5th or early 4th c Several of the vases were decorated by the Academy Painter (an Mannerist) or by another painter, designated the Painter of Corin who is considered here for the first time. Chemical analysis of th indicates that 15 of the 18 form a discrete group distinct from n and Corinthian clays. The analysis also confirms the Corinthian bell krater painted by the Attic Suessula Painter. Many fragments of red-figure vases have come to light in the e at Ancient Corinth conducted since 1896 by the American Classical Studies at Athens.1 Most of these fragments can be easily by visual analysis of fabric and style as either Attic or Co and most of the significant fragments have already been pu few fragments have been identified as imports from Sicily, Sou

“…Another craftsman who seems to have learned his trade in the workshops of Attica is the Argos Painter, one of the most important vase-painters of the Boeotian potteries of the second half of the 5th century bc .
