11. KLEOPHRADES PAINTER HYDRIA

Date: BC (Arias says 480 BC) Type:Hydria-Red figure Potter: Kleophrades Painter: "Kleophrades Painter" Height: 42 cms Subject: Culmination of the Trojan Wars - the destruction of the city of Troy by the Greeks - on the shoulder of the vase only. In the story presented to us by the "Kleophrades Painter", the Greeks are certainly not seen as heroes, in fact the only acts of courage are portrayed by the Trojans. The Greeks are seen as being almost barbarian in their desires to seek revenge: a masterpiece of emotion. PYRAMIDAL STRUCTURING IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE COMPOSITION OF THIS PAINTING.

There are rather a lot of names that may be unfamiliar to you on this vase which need to be known. Here is a list of them and who they were. GREEKS Ajax - Son of Oileus, not the friend of Achilles Helen - Wife of Menelaos taken prisoner by Paris-start of the wars. Aithra - Taken to Troy to be a maid for Helen. Neoptolemos - Son of Achilles and murderer of Astyanax. TROJANS Priam - King of Troy Cassandra - Priam's Daughter Aeneas - Trojan hero who fled Troy and founded Rome. Anchises - Father of Aeneas Askanios - Son of Aeneas Hector - Son of Priam Astyanax - Son of Hector, grandson of Priam.

Subject matter The rape of Cassandra by Ajax. He steps over a Trojan soldier whom he has slain in full battle gear. On the left, Aeneas is dragging his father (Anchises) and son (Askanios) away: Aeneas is holding a shield. All of them turn back for a final look at the horrors of the destruction. On the right there is a rowan tree, bent back with the storms of the destruction. Under it there is a weeping Trojan woman, and another opposite her. To their right is a statue of Athena Palladium, from which Cassandra is seeking strength. Rape of Cassandra Three illustrations encircle this vase.

Carries on to the right of the previous scene. On the other side of the palm is King Priam who has taken refuge on an altar, on his lap is his mutilated grandson Astyanax, son of Hector already killed by Neoptolemos and who is about to kill him. Note the blood on the garment and head of Priam. To the far right, a Greek soldier defends himself from attack by a woman. King Priam with Astyanax:

Continues to the right of the previous scene. A Trojan woman is attacking a Greek soldier with a pestle. Behind her, seated, is Aithra. She is being rescued by her grandsons. The pyramid is completed by a Trojan girl with her head in her hands in despair. N.B. Aithra and the Trojan girl have lines for their hair to indicate grey and blond hair respectively. Woman attacking Greek Soldier

Political background The only acts of bravery presented here are from the Trojans, the Greeks perform all the acts of cruelty. This is not a tale of triumph for the Greeks, but rather of one of despair for the Trojans. Look at the fate of the three children: Astyanax: murdered and mutilated Trojan girl: despair at being sold into slavery Askanios: sent into exile The sack of Troy as presented here, engenders four moods: Cruelty: Sacrilege, murder, rape and despair Courage: Trojan women fighting fully armed Greek soldiers Liberation: Aithra being rescued by her grandsons Hope: Aeneas' escape with his father and son to found a new Troy

Although the Greeks were successful in the war, they carried the horrors of bloodshed in their collective mentally for many centuries. The Kleophrades Painter could see a parallel between the cruel treatment by the Greeks of the Trojans, and a contemporary situation. In 480 B.C. the Athenians looked back to Athens from Salamis to see their city being burnt by the Persians. The Athenians, however, were successful, and this vase represents the Kleophrades Painter's attempt to warn the Greeks about repeating any similar retribution on the Persians. This vase may be seen as a paradigm of the horrors of war: a savage act of victory and vengeance of which the Greeks were ashamed. The painter has captured the emotion and the narrative of this.

Composition The painting is strongly influenced by the sharp inwards slope of the pot at the shoulder. The painter has created a series of pyramidal groupings of characters to counteract this: can you locate each of the pyramids? Scene painted on the double curve of the shoulder and neck of the vase. Very difficult, reflects his interest in triangles, eg in the main scene opposite the large handle the triangle is formed by the fallen Greek behind Neoptolemos and the lean of Neoptolemos to the weeping palm with the woman under it. Each group is self-contained but linked to the other groups.

Space New advances in spatial representation. Increase in overlapping of figures (seen also in the pointed amphora). Foreshortening and a range of poses clearly seen; however, all figures still on the same baseline. Attempt to show shield in perspective by using a three- quarter view not entirely successful. Mood Cruelty, despair, suffering, horror, individual heroism. Largely conveyed through anatomy.
