Extract

Since the publication of Hartwig's epoch-making book there has been something of a lull in the study of Greek vase-painting of the best periods; at all events few further attempts have been made to deal with individual artists or schools, and their relation to the history of the subject in general. The time has perhaps come for a revival of our interest; and though it is not claimed for the present paper that it has such ambitious aims, it may yet serve to direct attention to a class of vases not treated by Hartwig, in fact hitherto largely neglected. In dealing with the work of the artist Hischylos, I cannot claim to rehabilitate him, as Hartwig has done with Phintias, Onesimos, and other artists, chiefly owing to the fact that, whatever the interest of the vases signed with his name, we have no certain ground for crediting him with the decoration of any single specimen.

10 Jahrb. i. (1886), Pl. 12. In the Catalogue (1885) it is described as a ‘Teller’; but Dr. Zahn tells me it is certainly a kylix restored in that form, the interior design with the stem and foot alone being preserved.

11 Pottier, M. does not accept the view that this is an imitation of feminine headgear. He says it is ‘given to men of a certain age and analogous to our night-cap.’ But the subject of the Berlin vase has hardly reached the ‘certain age’ which he would suggest.
