Accompanied by an original French cultural passport number 226548 dated 18 May 2021. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr. Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11302-190956. Boardman (2001, p.290) following Beazley, suggests this image as the iconography of Odysseus at the entrance of Hades, but also proposes that the warrior represents the same Greek hero receiving Diomedes after the theft of the Palladion in Troy (Boardman, 2001, no.1015). Odysseus was one of the most popular heroes, as he represented the embodiment of diplomacy and cunning. His popularity continued until Hellenistic and Roman times. Characteristic elements of his iconography, here visible, are that he is usually shown bearded and either wearing a semi-oval cap of a sailor and often a staff, being accompanied by a dog, Argos, or as a warrior aiding Diomedes to steal the Palladium or, in either character, seated and pondering. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]
