Terracotta amphora (jar)

Attributed to the Affecter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Obverse and reverse, men and youths

The Affecter is a particularly recognizable personality among artists of the second half of the sixth century B.C. The decoration of his vases accords so fully with the shapes that potter and painter were most likely the same individual. Noteworthy, however, is the volume of his shapes in contrast to the rigidity of his figures.
