In connection with the Los Angeles
opening of the exhibition The Amasis
Painter and His World, a colloquium and symposium were held at the Getty
Museum between February 28 and March 2, 1986. An international panel of
scholars presented papers on various aspects of Greek vase-painting; these
papers are collected as fully annotated essays in the companion volume to the
exhibition catalogue. They include an essay by Dietrich von Bothmer concerning
the connoisseurship of Greek vases, as well as one by Martin Robertson on the
status of Attic vase-painting in the mid-sixth century; John Boardman’s
discussion of Amasis and the implications of his name; Walter Burkert’s
presentation on Homer in the second half of the sixth century; and a paper by
Albert Henrichs on representations of Dionysos in sixth-century Attic
vase-painting.
