Description
English: 6th c. BC representation of an animal sacrifice scene in Corinth.
Français : Une des quatre plaques de bois peintes de Pitsa, trouvées en 1934, près de Sicyone, dans une grotte au-dessus du village de Pitsa, en Corinthie. Les inscriptions révèlent qu'elles étaient dédiées aux Nymphes, vénérées dans cette grotte. Les plaques de bois peintes étaient les formes les plus populaires et les plus économiques de dédicaces aux sanctuaires. Celles de Pitsa sont d'une grande valeur, car elles constituent le seul exemple de peinture corinthienne à grande échelle. Elles sont réalisées avec la technique de la "xérographie", utilisant des pigments minéraux. À l'intérieur des contours rouges ou noirs des figures, les couleurs (blanc, rouge, bleu, jaune, violet, brun, vert et noir) étaient appliquées sans gradation. Les inscriptions des dédicaces sont écrites en alphabet corinthien. La plaque représente une procession à un autel pour sacrifier un agneau, au son de la flûte et de la lyre. La dédicace aux Grâces (Charites) est indiquée, avec les noms d'Euthydika, Eukolis, Etheloncha, et sur le côté, le nom du peintre dont ne subsiste que l'origine, Corinthien. Vers 540-530 av. J.-C.
