Terracotta hydria (water jar). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 18 3/16 in. (46.2 cm). Date: ca. 520-510 B.C..On the body, Herakles and TritonOn the shoulder, Dionysos in a chariot and three maenadsA number of details indicate that this vase was probably made after the introduction of the red-figure technique about 530 B.C. The incision, especially of human musculature, reflects the fluency made possible by red-figure. The composition is bursting its frame, and much of the mouth of the vase is unglazed --with the result that the work appears lighter. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
