Black-Figure Neck Amphora Attributed to the Bareiss Painter in the Getty Villa, June 2016
Title: Attic Black-Figure Neck-Amphora
Artist/Maker: Attributed to Bareiss Painter, Medea Group (Greek (Attic), active late 6th century B.C.)
Date: 530–520 B.C.
Medium: Terracotta
Dimensions: 32.9 × 21.9 cm (12 15/16 × 8 5/8 in.)
Place: Athens, Greece (Place Created)
Culture: Greek (Attic)
Object Number: 86.AE.85
Alternate Titles: Repaired Storage Jar with the Apotheosis of Herakles (Display Title) Black-figured
neck amphora (Alternate Title) Storage Jar with Athena Bringing Herakles to Mount Olympus
(Alternate Title)
Department: Antiquities
Classification: Vessel
Object Type: Amphora
The apotheosis of Herakles decorates the front of this Athenian black-figure amphora. Identified by his attributes of club and lionskin, Herakles waits while the goddess Athena, his protective deity, mounts the chariot that will drive him to the home of the gods on Mount Olympos. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, stands behind the horses' heads preparing to lead the chariot. The back of the vase shows a battle scene in which a hoplite, or heavily armed infantryman, falls to the ground between two cavalrymen.
Herakles being escorted to Olympos in a chariot was an especially popular subject in Athenian art in the late 500s B.C. Some scholars have suggested that the image's popularity was politically motivated: the tyrants of Athens in this period, Peisistratos and his sons, had adopted Herakles as their symbol. An account of Peisistratos's return from exile, in fact, describes how he had a woman dressed as Athena ride in the chariot with him. This vase was broken and extensively repaired in antiquity. One handle was reattached with staples, and the mouth of the amphora was replaced with one taken from another similar vessel. The substitute mouth appears to be at least twenty years later than the original, indicating that the vase had been used for some time before it was damaged.
