Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Virginia Exhibition Painter, ca. 330 to 300 BCE. A masterful Apulian red-figure amphora attributed to A.D. Trendall’s Virginia Exhibition Painter, the vase of a grand scale, presenting an elegant, sinuous form with intriguing iconography (see extended description below) and extensive decoration, all finely delineated in red-figure technique with additional fugitive white, yellow, and beige pigments. An exceptional and important work displaying superb artistry and technique. Size: 14.75" in diameter x 39" H (37.5 cm x 99.1 cm)Virtually no ancient Greek paintings have survived the tests of time. This makes the painted compositions found on ceramic vessels like this example invaluable sources of information about ancient Greek visual art. Refined vases like this amphora were not merely utilitarian pottery, but rather works of art in their own right, highly prized throughout the classical world. Red figure pieces in particular allowed for the development of more naturalistic imagery than black figure examples. This innovative technique involved creating figures by outlining them in the natural red of the vase, making it possible for the painter to then enrich the figural forms with black lines to suggest volume, perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life. Beyond this, fugitive pigments made it possible for the artist to create additional layers of interest and detail.Side A of this amphora features a pair of warriors sheltered by an ionic naiskos, one on horseback wielding a spear, his horse's right front leg lifted to mirror his own attack gesture targeted at his opponent who counters with his weapon and shield. Above this dramatic depiction of the pair of rivals, on the shoulder of the vase, is a female bust emerging from a blossom, a signature of the Virginia Exhibition Painter as well as the elite White Sakkos Painter. The Virginia Exhibition Painter also included floral elements beneath the warriors as well as a pair of plume-like elements beside the rider's torso, perhaps elements of his helmet and/or armor. This compares to another Apulian artist's (the Ganymede Painter's) penchant for adding iconography beyond the figures under the naiskos. On the obverse is a pair of draped standing youths facing one another, perhaps mourners of whomever did not survive the rivalry depicted on Side A, one leaning upon a staff or walking stick, with a distinct maker's mark between their heads. In addition to the figural imagery are the extensive decorative elements which are quite characteristic of the Virginia Exhibition Painter's known oeuvre. Note the ivy leaf motif beneath the rim created via fugitive white and creamy beige pigments, the black fan palmettes and white vertical rays on the neck painted just above the female bust who emerges from a blooming, foliated blossom with elaborate spiraled tendrils on the shoulder, this underscored by a tongue pattern, all in red-figure with fugitive white and yellow. Adorning the central naiskos scene are ivy leaf vines flanking the ionic columns as well as registers of dotted, scrolled, linear, and wave motifs below the scenes and continuing around the circumference of the vessel. Finally, beneath the elegant twin handles are large, double, red-figure palmettes.A remarkable vase of the so-called Ornate Style by the Virginia Exhibition Painter of a grand scale, decorated in an elaborate manner with intriguing scenes and figures as well as a great deal of subsidiary ornament in added colors.

E. Mayo and K. Hamma, "The Art of South Italy: Vases from Magna Graecia" (Richmond 1982). Cf. especially the naiskos scene on p. 179. No. 73, and the woman on the shoulder of no. 76 (p. 185), the latter also a neck-amphora. Provenance: Ex-Royal Athena Gallery, NYC, NY. Condition: Handles reattached. Drilled hole beneath one handle for thermoluminescence testing. Surface wear with expected scratches, pigment losses, and mineral deposits commensurate with age. Small chip on right column of naiskos. Painting still quite vivid and impressive.

* HILDA GOLDWAG (1912 - 2008),JANET,oil on board, signed60cm x 95cm Framed.Note: Hilda Goldwag was born in Vienna in 1912. As an artistically gifted child she attended Art School in her native city and graduated in 1938 with distinction. With the growth of Nazism life became increasingly fraught for anyone of Jewish origin. She got a permit to “escape” to Scotland in 1939, and worked as a domestic servant in a manse in West Linton. Her family were due to follow in September 1939 - the day war broke out. All died in Dachau, including her four year old nephew. During the war years she worked (as an enemy alien) in factory jobs. Living in Hill Street, Garnethill, near the Glasgow Art School she had various art related jobs and soon took up painting again. She became a familiar sight with her easel and paints and brushes in the area, and her paintings began to appear in exhibitions. She moved to a low rise flat in Yoker/Knightswood after the Great Storm of 1968 took the roof off her city centre flat.Painting had become a full-time occupation with solo shows in Greenock and Gourock in the 1970’s , in the Royal Glasgow Institute’s Kelly Gallery in Glasgow, and the Lillie Gallery in Milngavie in the eighties. A major exhibition of her work appeared at the University of Strathclyde’s Collins Gallery in 2005.She painted until a year or two before her death in January 2008, trailing around the area - the parks and canal banks - with her gear stacked on a supermarket trolley. She ventured out to Kirkintilloch and other spots in bussing distance from Glasgow - returning with her large canvases or boards, the paint still wet, spread on the bus luggage racks. After Hilda Goldwag died her little flat was stacked with paintings. Most of these were consigned to McTear's who staged a hugely successful auction with prices that would have surprised and delighted the artist. Her work had reached a new, wider, deserved and enthusiastic audience.
