Πομπή για θυσία Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο - 534 π.Χ.
Painted wooden tablet found near Pitsa Corinthia depicting religious scene - 534 BCE
Είναι ξύλινος πίνακας που παριστάνει ιερή πομπή για θυσία. Οδηγεί μια γυναίκα που κρατάει την οινοχόη, ακολουθούμενη από ένα αγοράκι με τον αμνό. Η πομπή μόλις φτάνει στον βωμό. Ακολουθούν δύο μουσικοί οργανοπαίκτες, ένας αρπιστής και ένας αυλητής. Το τέλος της πομπής αποτελούν δύο γυναίκες κρατώντας δάφνες και ταινίες. Η ταινία ήταν το σύμβολο των ποιητών. Η ζωγραφιά φέρει επεξηγηματικές επιγραφές.
Από τις επιγραφές μαθαίνουμε ότι η ζωγραφιά αυτή ήταν αφιέρωμα στις Χάριτες. Το έργο είναι ο καλύτερα διατηρημένος πίνακας του σπηλαίου Πιτσά. Χρονολογείται στο δεύτερο ήμισυ του 6ου αιώνα π.Χ..
The Pitsa panels or Pitsa tablets are a group of painted wooden tablets found near Pitsa, Corinthia (Greece). They are the earliest surviving examples of Greek panel painting.
The four panels, two of them highly fragmentary, were discovered during the 1930s in a cave near the village of Pitsa, in the vicinity of Sicyon. They can be stylistically dated to circa 540-530 BC, i.e. to the Archaic period of Greek art.
The tablets are thin wooden boards or panels, covered with stucco (plaster) and painted with mineral pigments. Their bright colors are surprisingly well preserved.
Only eight colors (black, white, blue, red, green, yellow, purple and brown) are used, with no shading or gradation of any sort. Probably, the black contour outlines were drawn first and then filled in with colors.
The tablets depict religious scenes connected with the cult of the nymphs.
The picture shows a sacrifice to the nymphs. Three or more females, dressed in chiton and peplos, are approaching an altar to the right. They are accompanied by musicians playing the lyra and aulos. The person nearest the altar appears to be pouring a libation from a jug. A small figure behind her, perhaps a slave, is leading a lamb, the sacrificial victim.
An inscription in the Corinthian alphabet names two women dedicators, Euthydika and Eucholis and states that the tablet, or the depicted offering, is dedicated to the nymphs.
Most ancient paintings that survived are either frescoes or vase paintings. It is known that panel paintings were held in much higher regard, but very few of them have survived. The Pitsa panels, probably preserved due to the unusual climatic conditions inside the cave, are by far the earliest examples of this technique to survive.
