A. D. Trendall, The Red-figured Vases of Lucania, Campania and Sicily, Oxford, 1967, p. 486, no. 330.
This vase presents a lively scene of a komos, a drunken and sometimes ritualistic procession thought to have been performed at festivals and symposia. The revellers, known as komasts, are often shown playing music, as here. The Painter of New York GR 1000 was most probably a member of the Workshop of the CA Painter. His decorative characteristics include a band of ovolo joined with "v's" above the scenes, phialia, windows and sashes as filler ornaments, as well as a large amount of added white and yellow, with little other colour. All present on the above vase.
