Protogeometric Centaur from Lefkandi
Bildnummer 14078670
| A ceramic centaur figurine from Lefkandi is one of the most remarkable and recognizable artifacts from Early Iron Age Greece. When the Mycenaean world suddenly came to an end c. 1200 B.C. the palaces, literacy, and the whole tradition of monumental art and architecture an era came to an end. Yet pottery continued to be made, though of much lower quality. In the period that followed, called the Dark Age (ca. 1200-900 B.C.), pottery was the only constant in the archaeological record. The compass, and the multiple brush were among the technical innovations of the later Geometric"" style, characterized by the use of triangles and rectangles, by circles and semicircles. Human figures reappear on vases. Was this a figure from myth? Can we call it a centaur? If so, was it a generic centaur? Or was it perhaps Chiron, tutor to numerous heroes?" | |
