Attic black figure amphora by Exekias, showing
Achilles killing the Amazon, Penthesileia
|
|
ca 540-530 (mid-late 6th century)

Note archaic schema for depiction of figures,
such as frontal eye in profile head atop a frontal torso
atop profile legs. This painting illustrates the
archaic feature of explicitness and impassivity: note
Penthesileia's "archaic smile"!
