(40.7 cm); Classification: Vases; Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1918 / Obverse and reverse, Dionysos with men and youths Though the name the Affecter may have a pejorative ring, attention to his work reveals his accomplishment as an artist. The representation of Dionysos, the god of wine, exemplifies the Affecter´s solid, slow-moving figures, sometimes ungainly but always articulated with the most precise and varied detail.
