Black-Figure Plate by the Gorgon Painter in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009
Attic Black-Figure Plate with Gorgon's Head and Bands of Animals
Creator: Gorgon Painter (Greek, active ca. 600-580 BC) (Artist)
Period: ca. 600 BC (Archaic)
Medium: terracotta (Ceramics)
Accession Number: 48.215
Measurements: 1 5/8 x 12 13/16 in. (4.2 x 32.5 cm) (h. x diam.)
Geographies: Attica, Greece (?) (Place of Origin)
This rare plate was decorated by one of Athens' most important early vase-painters, for whom the Gorgon (a creature with a frightening grimace and snakes for hair) was a favorite subject. Mythical beings such as Gorgons, sphinxes (with a woman's head, an eagle's wings, and a lion's body), and sirens (with a woman's head and a bird's body), all depicted here, were inspired by Eastern models. An owl, panther, goat, lion, and siren form a lively procession around the rim.
