| Description |
English: Ares between Castor (left) and Pollux (right) fighting the Giants. This is a detail from a vase at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. What follows is the museum inscription regarding the vase as a wholeː
"Attic red-figure pelike. On the front is a depiction of the Gigantomachy, the terrible battle between the Olympian gods and the Giants. Ares and the Dioscuri attack the Giants from above, who defend themselves, their backs turned to the spectator. The vigorous movement and the bold innovations by the vase-painter (such as depicting the figures from behind, with the requisite visual foreshortening to render space, the background of which is emphasized by distributing the figures on two planes), point to a painter of the late 5th century B.C., who was certainly inspired by some contemporary work of monumental painting. On the other side are youths. From Tanagra. In the manner of the Pronomos Painter. About 400 B.C. Inv. no. 1333." Text: Museum inscription. |
