Gigantomachies recovered. Two Apulian vases in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg

This paper focuses on two depictions of the gigantomachy that have become known recently: one fragment and an incompletely preserved volute krater in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg3. Because of the high quality of theses pieces as regards painting, composition and artistic inventions these objects provide a new perspective on the development of multi-figured representations and the reading of the gigantomachy and their visual language in South Italian vase-painting in the second half of the 4th century BC.
