Oinochoe with Eros and applied polychromy, Canosa (Apulia, Magna Graecia) - 3rd century BC Modelled terracotta with applied polychromy. Dimensions : 56 × 18 × 18 cm. A magnificent oinochoe from the Hellenistic workshops of Canosa, one of the main centres for the production of funerary pottery in Magna Graecia. It features a pear-shaped body on a ring foot, a tall neck with a trilobite rim and a large vertical handle, embellished with two delicate winged Eros modelled in the round on the shoulders. The body retains remarkable applied polychromy decoration in shades of pink, white and blue, depicting a Dionysian-inspired scene featuring Eros and a figure riding a panther, surrounded by plant motifs and ornamental bands. The quality of the modelling and the preservation of the original polychromy make this piece an excellent example of the refined Canosa production of the 3rd century BC. Intended exclusively for funerary use, these vases were objects of prestige associated with Hellenistic beliefs regarding the regeneration and immortality of the soul. Acquired from a German private collection, G.B in the 80's. -The piece includes an authenticity certificate as well as T.L.
