We're in the antique collection in Munich, and we're looking at a small drinking cup by an artist whose name is Ezekias from Ancient Greece.발음듣기

It's funny that you call it a small drinking cup because imagine if you drank all the wine that you could put into this bowl, you would be quite drunk. It's true.발음듣기
대기중
You'll notice that it's quite shallow - it's got a little bit of a base, a little bit of a pedestal, and it's got two handles that you're meant to hook your thumbs around.발음듣기
대기중
It seems to me, as you drank down your wine, the decoration at the bottom of the bowl would be revealed. Well, that's right.발음듣기
대기중
It's a little bit unusual but the bowl itself is a canvas for this cup, and we have marvellous scene that shows this Ancient Greek boat occupied by the god Dionysus, the god of wine.발음듣기
대기중
There's no differentiation, but I've always liked to think that the dolphins of either side of the boat are jumping out of the water. There's a sense of joyousness.발음듣기

This is a cup by the great Greek vase-painter Exekias, who we've got thirty-five vases from by this artist.발음듣기
대기중
If you look closely, you can see another unusual element which is that there's a grapevine growing right beside the mast, and there's all these wonderful bunches of grapes and grape leaves that almost function as some kind of harbour over the boat.발음듣기
대기중
And the story was that Dionysus was fleeing pirates and, in order to hide from them, he made the grapevine grow from the boat itself and turned the pirates into dolphins.발음듣기
대기중
I see how Exekias is trying to fill that circular space of the kylix by making the vines grow out horizontally and the dolphins jumping all around, so he's using that whole space.발음듣기
대기중
And actually there's a gentle curve that almost every element in this composition that seems to be responding to the curvature of the cup itself.발음듣기
대기중
There's the arc of the vines, there's the elegant and beautiful arc that's created by the wind-filled sail, and you can just see it billowing, pushing the boat forward, and of course, the arcs of the dolphins and of the hull of the ship, and the circular forms of the grapes that mirror the circular shape of the bowl.발음듣기
대기중
I love Dionysus. He's lying back as if he's at a dinner party, perhaps he's speaking, but there's a wonderful sense of relaxation.발음듣기
대기중
The artist would paint with slipware and then would scratch into it with a kind of needle to incise the lines and create those very delicate patterns that we can in the woodwork of the ship, for example, or in the grapes above Dionysus.발음듣기
대기중
You can see in the ship there's quite a bit of ornamentation not only does the prow of the ship have a face carved into it, but you can see a sort of swan's head by its stern.발음듣기
대기중
Really, my favourite part is that if your thumb was hooked over the upper handle and this was filled with red wine it would obscure the boat until you raised it and began to drink it and at one point at least, the boat would seem as if it were floating on a sea of red wine, and you might feel as relaxed as Dionysus.발음듣기
