User:ArchaiOptix/Boeotian painted pottery in the orientalizing and archaic period

Dear visitor,
welcome to this partition of my picture gallery.
For my picture galleries about other object categories of ancient art please turn to my general user page (link on the top of this page).

About me:
I am teaching Classics (Ancient Greek and Latin), Theology, modern Greek and Italian. I am particularly interested in Archaeology and History of Ancient Art. One of my other hobbies is photography. Combining these two hobbies I take lots of pictures in museums and archaeological sites and catalogue the photos according to the scientific literature.

About this picture gallery:
Under the relevant categories (of museums and painting styles) and more systematically on this user page I share a selection of my photos of ancient art.
The site is under construction since January 2020.
I thank all directors of museums who permit photography of the exhibits for private, educational, scientific, non-commercial purposes, thus spreading the knowledge of their treasures in a wider public. I hope that my photos published on wikimedia commons act also as an incentive to visit these museums and admire the works of art directly. Therefore editing the photos I refrain from replacing the background, so that the objects can be seen as displayed in the museum. If you intend to use one of my photos for commercial aims, I would recommend you to contact the museum.

The structure of this picture gallery:
→period and style
→→ workshop / class / group / painter

This subpage contains vases from the subgeometric / early orientalizing period of the seventh century onwards, painted without incision in dark on light (sometimes with added colour, sometimes on light slip), and all Boeotian black figure vases down to the end of the fourth century. The transition between Boeotian late geometric and early orientalizing is particularly smooth. The place of manufacture of some vases is disputed: Boeotia, Euboea, Attica; some potters obviously migrated into Boeotia.

Boeotian vases painted dark on light

classified according to John Nicolas Coldstream, Greek Geometric Pottery: A Survey of Ten Local Styles and Their Chronology, 1968 and
Anne Ruckert, Frühe Keramik Böotiens, Form und Dekoration der Vasen des späten 8. und frühen 7. Jahrhunderts, Bern 1976
The attribution to the stylistic phases follows as far as possible Schefold´s introduction to Ruckert´s work: "Stilphasen Böotisch Geometrischer Keramik"
