The François Vase, 8 - a photo on Flickriver

The François Vase, 8

Athenian Black Figure volute krater
Greek Archaic period, ca. 570-565 BCE
Made at Athens
Signed by Ergotimos as potter and Kleitias as painter
Found in Etruria at Chiusi (ancient Clevsin/Clusium; see on Pleiades), Fonte Rotella necropolis, in 1844-1845, by Alessandro François.

The so-called Rex Vasorum ("King of Vases") is notable, besides its scale (66 cm high), for the numerous apparently unrelated mythological vignettes that decorate its fields, each obsessively labeled with Greek inscriptions naming the subjects.

In the collection of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, Florence
Photographed on display in the exhibit "Divine Dialogues: Cy Twombly and Greek Antiquity" (May 25–September 3, 2017) at the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens
