SZILÁGYI, JÁNOS GYÖRGY: "La gigantesque horreur de l'ombre Herculéenne" Apulian Red-Figure Vases Decorated in Superposed Colours

20. Apulian kantharos decorated in added red. Once Swiss market (Münzen u. Medaillen AG, Sonderliste U, Basel 1984, no. 63) type of comedy - and of figures appearing on vase-paintings related to phlyax scenes.

44 But the Budapest oinochoe does not stand isolated among vases decorated in added red either. Considering the style, it can be related to the group of three figures on a Saint-Valentin kantharos (fig. 20), which was identified, even if tentatively, as a scene from a comedy.

45 The two pictures can be conceived as a slight indication referring to the importance of the above-discussed entire production of vases decorated in added red. The rather conspicuous absence of incised details attests to the existence of an autonomous feature of taste, which separates this production from its cited counterparts in Campania and Paestum. The validity of this autonomy is well defined geographically too, and cannot be brought into a closer relationship with ethnic factors: with rare exceptions, it covers the territory of Daunia, Peucetia, Messapia See, e.g., A. D. Trendall, Phlyax Vases, 2nd ed., London 1967, pis. 12 b-c, or a Berlin cup: F. Weege, Der Tanz in der Antike, Halle 1926, 121, fig. 171. See also another figure in the tondo of a kylix in Bari, M. C. Rogate Uglietti, NotMilano, 19-20 (1977), 77 and pi. 54. Münzen und Medaillen AG, Sonderliste U, Basel 1984, 40-41, no. 63.
