- What is Greek art known for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Greek art is known for its patronage to the gods and naturalistic, yet idealized, portrayal of the human body.

- What is a Greek Orthodox icon?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Greek Orthodox icons are icons that are symbolic representations of the Divine. Orthodox icons alter the perspective and form of the image, making it less lifelike. This is done so that we can see past worldly appearances and focus on the spiritual truth of the holy person or event.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The types of Greek vases relate to how people used them in their daily lives. They include storage and transport vases like the amphora and the hydria, mixing vessels like the krater, jugs like the kantharos and perfume and oil vases like the lekythos. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique vases.
- What is a Greek vase called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021Greek vases go by a number of names — scholars tasked with naming Greek pottery have done so over the years by studying Greek and Latin literature as well as trying to uncover names based on inscriptions on the vessels themselves. Some of the names used today — such as pelike, hydria, stamnos or amphora for storage vessels — according to current research, may in fact not be the names that were used in antiquity. Find Greek vases and other Greek pottery from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are so few surviving bronze sculptures because many of the works of art were melted down to create weapons. In addition, some others became lost over the centuries. You can find a variety of antique bronze statues on 1stDibs.
- Is amphora Greek or Latin?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An amphora, a two-handled pot with a large body and a narrow neck, is a Greek form of pottery. It was largely used for storage. You can shop a collection of amphoras from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Greek couch called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024What a Greek couch is called varies. The ancient Greeks called their reclining couch a klinē, and the plural word for klinē is klinai. Today, this style of sofa is more often called a Grecian couch or a récamier sofa.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Beautiful Greek masks represented different things depending on the theatrical production that they were used in. They could symbolize the innocence or purity of the character or help the audience identify the main male or female character. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique masks.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025The famous jewelry in Greek mythology is the necklace of Harmonia. Sometimes called the Necklace of Eriphyle, it was the work of the blacksmith god Hephaestus, so the story goes. After finding out that his wife Aphrodite was having an affair with the god Ares, he placed a curse on the necklace and presented it to Harmonia, the daughter of the lovers. The necklace subsequently brought disaster to Harmonia and everyone who wore it after her. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Opinions vary on who is the most realistic oil painter. Among contemporary artists, Leng Jun, Richard Estes and John Baeder are all acclaimed for the incredibly lifelike works they produce. Other artists who could be contenders for the title include Frédéric Bazille, George Bellows, Rosa Bonheur, Gustave Caillebotte, Gustave Courbet, Honoré Daumier, Thomas Eakins and Jules Bastien-Lepage. Shop a wide range of oil paintings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if an emerald has been oiled, look for white or yellow branch patterns along the surface of the gem. If you see them, the gem is likely oiled. Also, examine it under a magnifying glass for any signs of trapped bubbles. These also indicate an oiled gemstone. Consulting a licensed jewelry appraiser is the best way to accurately identify oiled emeralds. You'll find a collection of expertly vetted emerald gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024To maintain oil paintings that you purchased for your home, experts suggest that you keep them out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sunlight coming in from a window can fade the colors in your painting. Do not hang your oil painting near a heat source or where it can get wet (bathrooms and kitchens are not safe for your oil painting).
You may wish to dust your oil painting so that layers of dust don’t begin to gather on its surface. This should only be considered to remove loose dust. Never spray any chemical substance on your oil painting. Do not use a damp cloth to dust your oil painting. (Again, your painting should not be exposed to moisture.)
To remove loose dust, use a soft brush that measures approximately one to two inches wide with natural-hair bristles. Do not use a dust cloth or a feather duster, as those items may catch or leave threads or feathers behind. Do not apply pressure or dust your painting for an extended period of time.
If you think that your oil painting is considerably dirty or believe that other issues may be at work, experts strongly suggest that you consult with a professional conservator.

As abstraction indicates a departure from reality in the depiction of imagery in art, the artist creates a painting where the subject, shape, form, color, and line, is created with no particular references of the world but as a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from its vision.
- Do emeralds need to be oiled?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, natural emeralds need to be oiled. Natural emeralds will have cracks and fissures before treatment, and oils will help give the emerald a high sheen and attractive finish. Browse a wide selection of emerald jewelry pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

If you're looking to determine the name, age or creator of a work, try snapping a photo with your smartphone’s camera and conducting a reverse image search online. Shop a diverse assortment of oil paintings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Jan van Eyck is widely considered by art historians to be the father of oil painting.
