Description:
|
A prolific painter, active in Apulia, the Patera Painter was probably located first at Taras, then most likely moved to Canosa. Over 150 examples of his work survive, the majority of them depicting funerary scenes. The (A) side depicts the deceased within a naiskos (grave shrine); the (B) side shows two female figures at the sides of a stele. The volute-krater is named after its handles, which are curled like the volutes on an Ionic capital. Here there are female faces in the center of the volutes.
