This vase was painted by a Greek artist who immigrated to Etruria, where Greek vases were a popular commodity. The seventh of Herakles’s Twelve Labors is shown here. Charged with capturing a monstrous bull that was terrorizing the people of Crete, the hero wields his club against the ungainly creature, watched over by King Minos on the left, the gods Apollo and Athena above, and Hermes on the right.
