Interest in Greek and Roman architecture and antiquities was spurred among English and European intellectuals and artists during the Enlightenment, and aristocratic tourists made the “Grand Tour” to Italy and the Mediterranean to see these wonders in person. Plates reproducing the fine antiquities collection of Sir William Hamilton (1730-1806) popularized Greek vases and brought them to a larger public. During the last quarter of the 19th century, Albrecht Genick, an architect by training, became a leading German authority on red-figure vases. He published two works about Greek Ceramics, with numerous impressive bold chromolithograph full or double page prints to illustrate them.\u00a0 Griechische Keramik [Greek Ceramics]<\/strong> (Ernst Wasmuth, Berlin: 1883) is Genick’s best-known set on the subject. It was preceded by a self-published collection of prints of Greek vases with text, Kunstgewerbliche Vorbilder: <\/strong>Keramik, Gef\u00e4ssformen des klassischen Alterthums<\/strong>. The Architekturmuseum at the Technische Universit\u00e4t Berlin has examples of architectural drawings by Genick that he submitted for monthly competitions in 1867 and 1868.<\/p>\n

Studies of ancient red-figure Greek vases and ceramics from Kunstgewerbliche Vorbilder<\/strong>, a self-published collection of folio chromolithographs by Albrecht Genick. In the prints, amphorae, craters, lekyths, and other types of vessels are depicted in color at their original sizes, along with details of profiles, wall, handles, handle attachments, etc. Vorrathsgef\u00e4ss, spindelf\u00f6rmige Amphoren <\/strong> [Storage vessel, spindle-shaped amphorae] shows two two-handled vessels, one with a winged figure and the other with two male figures on either side of a seated figure holding a lyre. The other print (title not visible) shows two color images of large vessels with elaborate decorations and one very small one between them. These are accompanied by three line drawings of details of the handles as seen from other angles. Kunstgewerbliche Vorbilder<\/strong> preceded Genick’s more widely disseminated work on the subject of Greek ceramics, Griechische Keramik<\/strong>. Each print of the offered pair is presented in a custom gold-leaf and verdi-gris painted frame, with raised square corners.<\/p>\n
