Label copy

Executed in the black-figure technique, this wine jug (oinochoe) was decorated by the St. Raymond Painter (an anonymous artist named for the museum in France that holds his most characteristic work). The decoration on this jug is intended to evoke the designs of the Near East. This “orientalizing” style became a hallmark of vase painting in Corinth, where the black-figure technique was developed.
