A term of art. A style of decorative pattern. Generally, it is a decorative style composed of continuous patterns such as concentric circles, triangles, diamonds, and zigzags, but in the narrow sense, it is the style that first appeared in the history of ancient Greek art. That is, it flourished in various places such as Boeotia and the Peloponnese Peninsula, mainly in the Attica region, from the 10th century BC to the 7th century BC, and it was named after the decorative style of pottery of this period. The decorative patterns of this period, which marks the beginning of the historical era, are different from the spiral and curved decorative patterns of the prehistoric Cretan and Mycenaean period, and are composed of a combination of rigid straight lines such as sawtooth patterns, diamond patterns, and zigzags, centered around the new meander pattern. The large amphora known as the Dipylon Vase, which was excavated from the Dipylon cemetery near the entrance to the Athenian agora and is believed to date to around 750 BC, is a typical example. The entire surface of each vessel is covered with a dozen or so bands of various sizes of decorative designs as mentioned above.

美術用語。装飾文様の一様式。一般には同心円、三角形、菱形(ひしがた)、ジグザグなどの連続文様によって構成された装飾様式をさすが、狭義には古代ギリシア美術史上最初に現れた様式をいう。すなわち、紀元前10世紀から前7世紀にかけてアッティカ地方を中心にボイオティア、ペロポネソス半島など各地に開花したもので、この時代の陶器の装飾様式からこのようによばれるようになった。歴史時代の始まりであるこの時代の装飾文様は、先史時代のクレタ・ミケーネ時代の渦巻文や曲線による装飾文様と異なり、新たなメアンデルmeander文を中心に、鋸歯(きょし)文、菱形文、ジグザグ文などによる硬直な直線の組合せによって構成されている。アテネのアゴラの入口に近いディピロンの墓地から出土し、前750年ごろのものとされる大アンフォーラ「ディピロンの壺(つぼ)」はその典型で、いずれも器全面を、大小さまざまな上記の各種装飾文が帯状に十数段にわたって覆っている。 [前田正明] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
