A visually striking large reverse painted neoclassical vasiform table lamp. After the antique by Euphronios (c.535-470 BC), black lacquered ancient Greek red-figure (orange) pottery style vase with splashes of gold and silver gilt, depicting Sarpedon’s body carried by Hypnos and Thanatos (Sleep and Death), while Hermes watches, mounted with two high-quality light sockets with pull chain operation and an adjustable height lamp shade post with finial.
The Sarpedon Krater or Euphronios Krater, created around 515 BC, is normally considered to be the apex of Euphronios' work. As on the well-known vase from his early phase, Euphronios sets Sarpedon at the centre of the composition. Following an order by Zeus, Thanatos and Hypnos carry Sarpedon's dead body from the battlefield. In the centre background is Hermes, here depicted in his role of accompanying the dead on their last voyage. The ensemble is flanked by two Trojan warriors staring straight ahead, apparently oblivious of the action that takes place between them
Illegally excavated from an Etruscan cemetery near Cerveteri, it was part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from 1972 to 2008, until repatriated to Italy under an agreement negotiated in February 2006.

Adjustable: 27"/30.75" to top of finial,
