Kylix Attributed to Makron in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009

Kylix Attributed  to Makron in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009
Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)
Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 490 BC
Attributed to Makron
Interior, youth and girl dancing with krotala (castanets)

Accession # 96.9.191

Makron excelled in depictions of conviviality of every kind, whether in the human or mythological realm. He also conveyed the rapport between figures with greater sensitivity than either the Brygos Painter or Douris. Here, a young man watches a girl dancing. Although the composition may appear simple, even awkward, the juxtaposition is exceedingly expressive.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
