Terracotta amphora (jar)

Attributed to the Affecter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 155

Obverse and reverse, Dionysos with men and youths

Though the name the Affecter may have a pejorative ring, attention to his work reveals his accomplishment as an artist. The representation of Dionysos, the god of wine, exemplifies the Affecter's solid, slow-moving figures, sometimes ungainly but always articulated with the most precise and varied detail.
