About the Item
19th Century Pair of Red-Figure Black-Ground Vases, 1810-1850, Italy – Grand Tour Terracotta
This exquisite pair of Italian red-figure black-ground vases, dating from circa 1810-1850, embodies the rich artistry of Grand Tour souvenirs, likely originating from Naples or Sicily. These terracotta vases are inspired by ancient Greek pottery, showcasing mythological scenes with meticulous detail and historical accuracy.
One vase depicts Zeus, the king of the gods, majestically riding a chariot while wielding his iconic thunderbolts, a symbol of his divine power and authority. The dynamic composition conveys movement and grandeur, reflecting the influence of classical Greek iconography.
The second vase presents the legendary hero Bellerophon in a dramatic encounter with the Chimera. Mounted on the winged horse Pegasus, Bellerophon takes aim with his javelin at the monstrous Chimera, a creature of myth depicted with the body of a lion, a goat's head, and a serpent's tail. The scene is rendered with precision, emphasizing both the tension and heroism of this mythological battle.
These vases are remarkable for their skillful execution and their homage to classical antiquity, making them ideal for collectors or connoisseurs of 19th-century Grand Tour art. The red-figure decoration on a black ground exemplifies the enduring admiration for ancient Greek and Roman craftsmanship during the neoclassical period.
