Attischer Glockenkrater, vielleicht Fabre-Maler. Frühes 4. Jh. v. Chr. H 20,4cm, ø Mündung 20,6cm, ø Fuß 9,8cm. Rotfigurig. Auf der Vs. ein tänzelnder Silen vor einer Mänade mit Fackel. Rückwärtig ein Manteljüngling. Schöne Arbeit der spätattischen Vasenproduktion! Ein kleiner Kratzer im Bereich des Silens, sonst intakt. Wenn man nach dem Schöpfer dieser sehr originellen Malerei sucht, wird man in ARV² S. 1435 ff. Kap. 80 Other krater-painters: still early (= J. D. Beazley, Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters. Second Edition [1984]) suchen müssen. Ein möglicher Kandidat wäre der Khanenko-Maler (ARV² 1445), der überwiegend derartig kleine Glockenkratere bemalt hat, dessen Figuren jedoch viel einfacher gestaltet sind. Wahrscheinlicher ist eine Zuweisung an den Fabre-Maler (ARV² 1444), von dem ein ikonografisch ganz ähnliches Stück stammt, das aber leider nicht publiziert ist (ARV² 1444,2; Beazley Archive Pottery Database 218133). Die Figuren eines Kelchkraters von seiner Hand aber weisen sehr interessante Parallelen auf (ARV² 1444,1; BAPD 218132). Attic red-figure bell krater, perhaps Fabre Painter. Early 4th century B.C. On side A mincing silen in front of a maenad with torch. On side B a draped youth. Tiny scratch on side A, otherwise intact. Nice work of the Late Attic vase-production! Provenienz: Ex Gorny & Mosch Auktion 272, 2020, Los 4; aus der Privatsammlung M. P., Österreich, erworben 2012 bei der Galerie Kunst der Antike, Wien; davor in der Sammlung von Professor Ernst Zweymüller (1917-2014). Erworben in den 1960er Jahren.

Lot 81
Reitender Eros. Römische Kaiserzeit, 1. - 2. Jh. n. Chr. H 13cm. Mit gespreizten Beinen sitzender, wohlgenährter und pausbackiger Eros mit erhobener Rechten. Die leicht geöffneten Hände hielten ursprünglich separat gefertigte Attribute. Exzellente Skulptur! Grüne Patina, einzelne Finger und rechter Fuß gebrochen. Der separat gefertigte rechte Flügel fehlt, der linke ist partiell verbogen und an den Spitzen ausgebrochen. In den Füßen befinden sich zwei vertikale Bohrungen, die möglicherweise die Funktion der Figur erklären, da man an ihnen zum Beispiel eine Kette befestigen könnte. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass der Erot womöglich Teil eines Tintinnabulums war. Wahrscheinlich ritt er auf einem Phallus und an seinen Ketten waren kleine Glöckchen befestigt. Zur Anbringung von Glocken an den Füßen vgl. z.B.: Verschüttet vom Vesuv, Die letzten Stunden von Herculaneum, Ausstellung München 2005. Kat.-Nr.8.65; zum Typus vgl.: The Gods Delight. Ausstellung Cleveland (1989) 339 f. Kat.-Nr. 72. Bronze figure of a chubby, child-like Eros in the pose of a rider. Roman Imperial Period, 1st - 2nd century A.D. Attractive green patina, some fingers and right foot broken. Separately worked left wing missing. Right wing partially bent and with some feathers missing. Two holes in the feet probably identify the piece as part of a tintinnabulum, an ancient bell, showing Eros riding on a phallus with little bells hanging down from chains fixed at his feet. Provenienz: Erworben 1974 - 1990 von Dr. Leo Mildenberg für die Sammlung R.G., Deutschland. Ex Gorny & Mosch 222, 2014, 51. In Deutschland seit vor 1990.
