Group of Montauban 11

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The group of Montauban 11 is a group of ancient Greek vase painters who worked towards the end of the 6th century BC. Chr. In Athens were employed, respectively.

The group of Montauban 11 was active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style . The representatives of the group belonged to the early red-figure bowl painters . Like other bowl painters of this time, the painters in the group did not yet test the possibilities of the new technology to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneer group on larger vases, due to the comparatively smaller work surface - the inside and the two outside of the bowls. Nevertheless, the bowl painters also contributed to the success of the new style.

John D. Beazley recognized the style of the group within the ten thousand-part inventory of well-known Attic red-figure vases and fragments and fundamentally put together his works. The surviving oeuvre of the group is very small and currently comprises only one known bowl and one further bowl fragment. The group was given its emergency name after the museum and the inventory number . Beazley thinks it is possible that instead of a group it could be just a single painter. Stylistically, the works are strongly reminiscent of those of the Euergides painter and his circle .
