Vessels of the Gods

Treasures of the Ancient Greeks 1650 - 410 B.C.

Treasures of the Ancient Greeks 1650 – 410 B.C.

Reflecting the brilliance of a millennium of ancient Aegean culture, four distinct periods produced the designs of these vases: Minoan, Mycenaean, Corinthian, and Attic. Essentially consisting of silhouetted figures drawn against a background of red, black, or white, this art form gradually died out after the Persian wars, c. 475-450 B.C.

This classic exhibition showcases 42 individual vessels, shaped and painted by hand. These exquisite reproductions were created in Greece by master artists from the originals housed in The National Archaelogical Museum of Athens, The Heraklion Archaelogical Museum, The Archaelogical Museum of Thera, the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, The Archaelogical Museum of Delphi, The Louvre, the Vatican Museums, and The Museo Civico, Brescia.
