Little Masters (Greek Vase Painting)
The Little masters were a group of potters and vase painters who produced vases of the Attic black-figure style featuring well-done figures in miniature. They were active in Athens approximately 560–530 BC. They mainly produced Little-master cups: lip cups, band cups, and droop cups, but were not entirely limited to such shapes. The group includes: Potters * Anakles * Antidoros * Archeneides * Archikles * Charitaios *Chiron * Epitimos *Ergoteles * Eucheiros * Gageos * Glaukytes * Hermogenes * Hischylos * Kaulos * Kolchos * Kritomenes * Myspios * Neandros * Phrynos * Priapos * Sokles * Sondros * Taleides * Teisias * Telesias * Thrax * Thypheitides * Tlempolemos *Tleson * Xenokles * Botkin Class Vase painters * Painter of Agora P 1241 * Ano Achaïia Painter * Karithaios Painter * Centauren Painter * Neandros Painter * Oakeshott Painter * Painter of the Palermo Gorgoneion *Phrynos Painter * Sakonides * Sokles Painter *Taleides Painter *Tleson Painter * Painter of Vatican G 62 * ...

Lip Cup By Tleson Staatliche Antikensammlungen Munich
The lips are the visible body part at the mouth of many animals, including humans. Lips are soft, movable, and serve as the opening for food intake and in the articulation of sound and speech. Human lips are a tactile sensory organ, and can be an erogenous zone when used in kissing and other acts of intimacy. Structure The upper and lower lips are referred to as the "Labium superius oris" and "Labium inferius oris", respectively. The juncture where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area is the vermilion border, and the typically reddish area within the borders is called the vermilion zone. The vermilion border of the upper lip is known as the cupid's bow. The fleshy protuberance located in the center of the upper lip is a tubercle known by various terms including the procheilon (also spelled ''prochilon''), the "tuberculum labii superioris", and the "labial tubercle". The vertical groove extending from the procheilon to the nasal septum is called the philtr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sokles
Sokles was an ancient Greek potter, active in the middle of the 6th century BC, in Athens. The following signed Little-master cups or fragments thereof are known, all of them painted by the Sokles Painter: *Berlin, Antikensammlung F 1781 *Bolligen, Collection Rolf Blatter * Daskyleion, Excavation E 108.107 *Madrid, Museo Arqueologico Nacional 10947 (L 56) *Malibu (CA), J. Paul Getty Museum 86.AE.158 *Oxford, Ashmolean Museum 1929.498 *Switzerland, private collection *Taranto, Museo Archeologico Nazionale 20910 He belongs to the group of so-called Little masters. A red-figure plate in Paris, Louvre CA 2181, painted in style similar to that of the painter Paseas, is signed by a potter named Soklees. Whether that craftsman is identical with the black-figure potter Sokles remains unclear. The signature may also not be authentic.

Priapos (potter)
In Greek mythology, Priapus (; grc, Πρίαπος, ) is a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia. Priapus is marked by his oversized, permanent erection, which gave rise to the medical term priapism. He became a popular figure in Roman erotic art and Latin literature, and is the subject of the often humorously obscene collection of verse called the ''Priapeia''. Mythology Relationship with other deities Priapus was described in varying sources as the son of Aphrodite by Dionysus; as the son of Dionysus and Chione; as perhaps the father or son of Hermes; or as the son of Zeus or Pan. According to legend, Hera cursed him with inconvenient impotence (he could not sustain an erection when the time came for sexual intercourse), ugliness and foul-mindedness while he was still in Aphrodite's womb, in revenge for the hero Paris having the temerity to judge Aphrodite more beautiful than Hera. In another account, Hera's anger and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phrynos
Phrynos was a Greek potter, active in Athens, ''circa'' 560–545 BC. He is one of the Little masters. Three signed lip cups by him are known: *Boston, Museum of Fine Arts Inv. 03.855 *London, British Museum Inv. 1867.5-8.962 (B 424) *Torgiano, Wine Museum Inv. A 15 The three cups appear to have been painted by the same painter, the Phrynos Painter, to whom some further pieces can be ascribed. The potter Phrynos probably worked together with the potters Archikles and Glaukytes, as some of their vases bear close similarities. See also * Little-Master cup Bibliography *Oliver S. Tonks: ''A New Kalos-Artist: Phrynos '', in: American Journal of Archaeology 9, 1905, p. 288-293. *John Beazley Sir John Davidson Beazley, (; 13 September 1885 – 6 May 1970) was a British classical archaeologist and art historian, known for his classification of Attic vases by artistic style.

Neandros (potter)
Neandreia ( grc, Νεάνδρεια), Neandrium or Neandrion (Νεάνδριον), also known as Neandrus or Neandros (Νέανδρος), was a Greek city in the south-west of the Troad region of Anatolia. Its site has been located on Çığrı Dağ, about 9 km east of the remains of the ancient city of Alexandria Troas in the Ezine district of Çanakkale province, Turkey (based on the work of John Manuel Cook). The site was first identified as Neandreia by Frank Calvert in 1865 and Joseph Thacher Clarke in 1886 and was first excavated by the German architect Robert Koldewey when he excavated in 1889. Suda and Stephanus of Byzantium writes that some erroneously called it with "L" instead of "N" as Leandreia (Λεάνδρεια) and Leandros (Λέανδρος). History We do not know the circumstances of Neandreia's foundation in the Archaic period. A tradition known to the author of the 4th century AD work '' Dictys Cretensis Ephemeridos belli Trojani'' claimed that Neandreia ...
