Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water)
Obverse, the wine god, Dionysos; reverse, reveler
Myson was a contemporary of the Kleophrades and Berlin Painters. He specialized in large vases and developed a style that was taken up by a group of contemporaries and followers. Known as the Mannerists, these artists perpetuated traditions established during the late sixth century B.C. by the Pioneers. They favored column-kraters, which they decorated with very dignified figures often from the realm of Dionysos.
