Question

John Beazley used this city to name an anonymous red-figure vase painter of the 5th century BC who is often contrasted with the Kleophrades Painter. The introduction of Mary Beard and John Henderson’s Classical Art describes a once-armless Praying Boy sculpture called this city’s “Adorant.” This city often names the Severan Tondo. An artwork now located in this city contains a long staircase and a large frieze depicting the Gigantomachy. Today, this city is home to (-5[1])the Ishtar (10[1])Gate and (10[1])the Bust of Nefertiti. (10[3])This city’s (10[1])Altes (10[1])(“ALL-tiss”) Museum is on its Museum Island, where an (10[2])altar originally from Asia Minor is housed in the Pergamon Museum. For 10 points, name this capital that houses many works (10[1])found by a native son who excavated Mycenae and Troy, Heinrich Schliemann. ■END■
