“…These heads are depicted emerging from the leaves of acanthus bushes, from which ornamental tendrils are growing. Such iconography is widespread in South Italian vase painting [25], although it also appears sporadically in other territories, such as Macedonia and Illyria [42, pp. 20-21].…”

Tenacious Tendrils: Replicating Nature in South Italian Vase Painting

Elaborate floral tendrils are one of the most distinctive iconographic features of South Italian vase painting, the red-figure wares produced by Greek settlers in Magna Graecia and Sicily between ca. 440-300 B.C. They were a particular specialty of Apulian artisans and were later adopted by painters living in Paestum and Etruria. This lush vegetation is a stark contrast to the relatively meager interest of Archaic and Classical Athenian vase painters in mimetically depicting elements of the natural world. First appearing in the work of the Iliupersis Painter around 370 B.C., similar flowering vines appear in other contemporary media ranging from gold jewelry to pebble mosaics, perhaps influenced by the career of Pausias of Sicyon, who is credited in ancient sources with developing the art of flower painting. Through analysis of the types of flora depicted and the figures that inhabit these lush vegetal designs, this paper explores the blossoming tendrils on South Italian vases as an evocation of nature's regenerative powers in the eschatological beliefs of peoples, Greek and Italic alike, occupying southern Italy.
