Frequent Art Questions

  • This is neat!

    This pitcher was created about 1860 in England, but it includes some very Ancient Greek styles and motifs speaking to the "Connecting Cultures" theme of this gallery. It is interesting to note that this is not a specific scene from Greek mythology, but part of the Neo-Classical tradition of referring to Classical motifs.
