Ancient Art & Aristotle's Four Causes

I visited the Getty Villa in Malibu recently. While there, I heard a docent talk about a piece in their collection: a Greek storage jar featuring a painting of “The Judgment of Paris” from 360 B.C. The guide’s explanation touched on each of Aristotle’s four causes: what it is (a storage jar with paintings of mythical scenes), what it is made of (terracotta, pigment, and gold), how it was made (probably progressively in an Athenian workshop by artisans with different skills), and why it was made (as an export to Kersh on the Black Sea coast of today’s southern Russia).
