Three-girl group

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Three girls group ( Three Maidens Group ), the archaeologist Jack L. Benson , a group of Corinthian vase painters from the second quarter of the 6th century BC. Chr., Who decorated their works in black-figure style .

The group got its emergency name after the frequent portrayal of three girls. Jack L. Benson assigned numerous vases to this group. Among other things, he counted the painter from Munich 237 in the group . The painters of the group decorated various vase shapes, including the particularly representative shape of the column crater .

Darrell A. Amyx was able to show, however, that due to the considerable stylistic differences, the vases should be divided between at least five vase painters who do not belong to a group.
