Lot Essay

The work of the Casuccini Painter shares some similarities with that of the Rosoni Painter. These include the use of large rosettes or lines of white dots, as we see here on the front legs of the lions. However, unlike the Rosoni Painter, the Casuccini Painter had a preference for depicting lions instead of panthers.
