Summary
| Description |
English: Greek gods take human form and can often be recognised by attributes and animals. This fragment from a red-figure calyx crater shows a statue to the cult of Apollo in a temple. His bow reveals his role in disposing over life and death. To the right outside the temple we can see the god Apollo himself, playing his lyre in another role, as patron of the arts. This is one of the few ancient Greek representations of a building in “perspective” allowing the viewer to look inside. Pottery, made and found in Tarentum (Italy), c. 400-385 BC (inv. 2579)
Nederlands: De Griekse goden hebben een mensengedaante en zijn vaak herkenbaar aan attributen en dieren. Dit fragment van een roodkleurige kelkkrater toont het cultusbeeld van Apollo in een tempel. Zijn boog verwijst naar zijn functie als beschikker over leven en dood. Rechts buiten de tempel zien we de god Apollo zelf, op zijn lier spelend als beschermheer van de schone kunsten. Dit is een van de weinige oud-Griekse afbeeldingen van een gebouw “in perspectief” waar je ook naar binnen kunt kijken. Aardewerk, gemaakt en gevonden in Tarente (Italië), ca. 400-385 v. Chr. (inv. 2579) |
