Framed Print of Attic Red-Figure Kalpis, active about 500 - 470 BC. Creator: Eucharides Painter
Attic Red-Figure Kalpis, active about 500 - 470 BC.
Additional Info: A boy plays the double flutes for a young reveler on this Athenian red-figure kalpis. Several signs, the provision basket hanging on the wall, the wreath on the youth's head, and the boy's red ribbon, indicate that the action takes place at a symposium or aristocratic drinking party. The youth, who is shown as just old enough to grow a downy beard, holds a walking stick and the case for the boy's flute. He approaches the boy with a hand lowered toward his genitals, the standard gesture of young men courting boys. The celebration of desirable male youth was a key component in elite Athenian culture, and an inscription between the figures reads Eucharides is beautiful. Eucharides would have been one of the handsome adolescents in Athens in the years around 480 BCA kalpis is a rounded variant form of a hydria or water vessel. Greeks always drank their wine mixed with water, and a vessel like this one could have held the water at a symposion. The decoration on the vessel foretold the pleasures of the evening.
