AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand-Tour Amphora – Attic red-figure amphora, 19th century
Exceptionally high-quality Grand-Tour amphora from the 19th century, crafted after an Attic red-figure amphora of the 5th–4th centuries BCE. The piece belongs to the highest category of historical replicas: proportions, line work and surface effect are very convincing.
The red-figure depiction shows a dynamic mythological scene with a winged figure, hunters and animals. The finely worked line work, the deep-black engobe and the balanced classical form language correspond to the ancient models in exceptional precision.
The amphora has a very beautiful patina with natural wear and harmonious surface texture. Such pieces were produced in the 19th century in Italian art centers such as Rome, Naples or Florence as study objects for archaeologists, museums and educated Grand Tour travelers.
Provenance:
Dissolution of the Dr. D. Müller collection, from the art collection of his father, Mr. W. Müller.
Mr. Müller supported the Roman excavations at Schwarzenacker near Homburg/Saar in the 1960s and later headed the cultural office of the city of Homburg. There he accompanied the expansion and modernization of the Schwarzenacker Roman Museum and was involved in various archaeological projects.
His last official action was the excavation and fortification of the Merburg ruin (11th c., with suspected Roman origin). During these works, among other things, a Byzantine silver scale from the 15th century was discovered, which Mr. Müller described in a publication.
Details:
• Dimensions: approximately 30.5 × 15 × 15 cm
• Condition: very good for its age; slight knocks and authentic patina
• Quality: exceptionally fine academic replica – top Grand-Tour category
