Kerch style

Kerch is the site of the Ancient Greek trading city of Panticapaeum where many examples of the style of vase painting to which it lent its name were excavated. The style is characterized by slender mannered figures and a polychromatism given to it by the use of white paint and gilding. It is the last major style of Attic red-figure period best represented by the Marsyas Painter whose works include the British Museum pelike of "Peleus taming Thetis" and the Hermitage "Nuptual Lebes".
