Greeks on the Black Sea: Ancient Art from the Hermitage
Daily through September 3, 2007
Museum, Floor 2, Getty Villa
At the end of the 7th century B.C., Greek city-states created settlements in the northern Black Sea region, which quickly became wealthy through trade with indigenous tribes such as the Scythians. Artisans working there produced objects that linked Greek artistic traditions with those of the cultures of the Eurasian steppes. A collaboration between the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg and the J. Paul Getty Museum, this exhibition features approximately 175 objects of the Greek and Roman periods that demonstrate the opulence and high aesthetic quality of these unique works of art.
