It was fascinating to see the 3D printer in action. This support structure will soon be proudly carrying the fragments of the Polygnotos Krater in the @univie.ac.at Archaeological Collection. Many thanks to www.archaeo-perspectives.at for their enthusiasm. #Archaeology 🏺

The 3D print still needs a final touch, but nevertheless, we celebrated the Polygnotos Krater in its new vitrine yesterday with a workshop that brought together our archival, archaeological and digital approaches. Many thanks to the team and our sponsors! #Museum #Archaeology 🏺

Perseus beheading the sleeping Medusa, red figure terracotta pelike, by Polygnotos (attr.) c.450–440 BCE

I am delighted to be back in Innsbruck, presenting a paper on the Polygnotos krater from the Vienna University Collection, for which we are using photogrammetry and RTI to document its images and traces of painted inscriptions and details.

New article proofs! This is due out in Greece & Rome sometime around March. It's the last one for a while probably, but it's one I'm excited about. Thanks to Alaya Palamidis, my friend and colleague from the CHS for first telling me about this vase! Hephaistos is hot, y'all.

S: Medusa depicted in roughly contemporary iconography (e.g. 450-440 BCE Pelike attributed to Polygnotos) as a sympathetic maiden, no monstrosity. Why would Pindar present Medusa and Gorgons sympathetically? To draw our attention to an act of appropriation at a point of creation

The only vase Warren sold to the MFA related to Polygnotos is this one, attributed to his circle because of the style but unsigned. Did they forget to tell the MFA which bit of black paint to wash off?...

In the early 1890s, John Marshall wrote to Edward Perry Warren that he would “doctor” a vase signed by Polygnotos by “painting the name out with something that will wash off” to get it past the Italian customs authorities, so Warren can sell it to the @mfaboston. But...
