Purchase options and add-ons

The Berlin Painter was the name given by British classicist and art historian Sir John Beazley to an otherwise anonymous Athenian red-figure vase-painter. The artist’s long career extended from about 505 B.C. well into the 460s, and his elegant renderings of daily life and mythological stories offer invaluable insight into the social, political, religious, and artistic workings of early 5th-century Athens.

Since the first published identification of the artist in 1911, the Berlin Painter’s oeuvre has grown to some 330 works, both complete pots and fragments, making him one of the best-known artists of his kind. This lavishly illustrated publication features nine essays by leading scholars who explore the artist’s work, milieu, influence, and legacy, as well as the role of connoisseurship in art-historical scholarship. With an updated catalogue raisonné that includes many newly attributed works, it is the definitive book on this seminal artist.

    Aaron J. Paul received his graduate education at Harvard University and curatorial training at the Harvard Art Museums in the field of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art. Specializing in Greek vase painting, he authored the Harvard Art Museums catalog for Fragments of Antiquity: Drawing upon Greek Vases (Cambridge 1997) and was curator of the related exhibition. In 1999 he was appointed the first Richard E. Perry Curator of Greek and Roman Art at the Tampa Museum of Art, where he co-organized the exhibition and co-edited the catalog for Magna Graecia: Greek Art from South Italy and Sicily (Cleveland 2002). He collaborated with fellow scholars to research Greek vases in the Vatican Museums, which resulted in the publication La collezione Astarita nel Museo Gregoriano Etrusco, Ceramica attica bilingue a figure rosse e vernice nera (Vatican City 2016) as part of the series Vasi antichi dipinti del Vaticano. He is a contributor to major exhibition catalogs: The Berlin Painter and His World: Athenian Vase-Painting in the Early Fifth Century B.C. (New Haven & London 2017), The Centaur’s Smile: The Human Animal in Early Greek Art (New Haven & London 2003), and From Pasture to Polis: Art in the Age of Homer (Columbia & London 1993). An independent scholar in Washington, DC, he serves public institutions and private collectors as Research and Collections Consultant for Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Near Eastern Art.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent companion to the exhibit
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017
To learn about Ancient Greek culture, these vases are, in many ways, the best thing we have to learn about today. Virtually all their paintings are long gone and most surviving sculptures are Roman copies. This is what we have, the real deal. They portray not just heroes and legends, but day-to-day life and the way the Greeks saw the world and their place in it. I think anyone fascinated by the subject comes to these vases eventually. The Princeton Art Museum put up a very lovely exhibit of these beautiful vases and this is the accompanying book. The art is lively and energetic and if you can get to Princeton, it is well worth the trip. If you cannot yet are interested in the subject, this book more than suffices. The pictures are beautiful and the analyses that go with them are insightful and enlightening.

What I would like to know is whether the illustrations are in color, or if not, an estimate of what percentage of the plates are in color.

4.0 out of 5 stars Une riche iconographie, un catalogue explicatif précédé d'articles parfois trop savants.
Reviewed in France on January 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
Les images représentées sur les vases sont liées à l'imaginaire de l'artiste qui procède par analogies qu'il nous appartient d'interpréter ou de décoder en se référant à la culture grecque tout en appréciant tant le travail du potier que le dessin au trait fin et délicat. La face A n'a de sens que parce qu'elle complète et éclaire le face B. Chaque peinture raconte une histoire avec ses éphèbes, athlètes, musiciens, dieux, satyres mis en fiction dans une posture plus souvent dynamique que statique.
La première moitié du livre présente 9 articles qui évoquent le contexte historique, la fabrication des vases, leur classification, les inspirateurs et rivaux du peintre dit de Berlin. L'intérêt est inégal, les auteurs croyant parfois s'adresser à des spécialistes, utilisant des termes grecs non traduits - on aurait aimé l'ajout d'un glossaire - La seconde partie est consacrée à 84 vases répertoriés, face A, face B, avec des commentaires plus explicites soutenus par une riche iconographie de qualité et en couleur d'un format apprécié.
