South Italian art ranges in date from the 7th to the 2nd century B.C., and was produced in the region of South Italy and Sicily – lands colonized by the Greeks and therefore called Magna Graecia (“Great Greece”) in antiquity. Although heavily influenced by the art of mainland Greece, the art of South Italy and Sicily includes distinctive works from the regions of Apulia, Campania, Lucania, and Messapia. Red-figure pottery is among the most notable South Italian art forms, which, although copying the shapes of Greek vases and painted with scenes inspired by Greek iconography and myth, still presents a style all its own. Other magnificent works of art, such as sculpture and statuettes in terracotta and bronze, gold jewelry, carved gemstones, wall-paintings, and bronze works that include vessels and personal ornaments as well as horse trappings, armor and weapons, all testify to the great economic wealth and cultural vitality of these Western Greek colonies.
