Artist of Running Satyr is probable author of unearthed vase fragments with erotic scenes: Bulgarian archeologist

Sozopol. There are erotic scenes in Ancient Greece, but never are they so big and expressive and made by such a good artist, archeologist Dimitar Nedev said in an interview with FOCUS News Agency, referring to the vase fragments unearthed in the coastal city of Sozopol during excavations.
According to a preliminary analysis of the style, the painting was made by one of the prominent artists in Apollonia – the Artist of the Running Satyr.
The painting is comprised of seven figures; the scene is erotic, with good style, expressive and very spicy, said the archeologist.
According to him the find will widen the knowledge of the region, its trade contacts, and the aesthetic and artistic criteria of ancient Hellenes and Thracians who used to live in this region, he said further.
