Ancient Greek Vase Painting
Pottery, due to its relative durability, comprises a large part of the archaeological record of ancient Greece, and since there is so much of it (over 100,000 painted vases are recorded in the Corpus vasorum antiquorum), it has exerted a disproportionately large influence on our understanding of Greek society. The shards of pots discarded or buried in the 1st millennium BC are still the best guide available to understand the customary life and mind of the ancient Greeks. There were several vessels produced locally for everyday and kitchen use, yet finer pottery from regions such as Attica was imported by other civilizations throughout the Mediterranean, such as the Etruscans in Italy.John H. Oakley (2012). "Greek Art and Architecture, Classical: Classical Greek Pottery," in Neil Asher Silberman et al. (eds), ''The Oxford Companion to Archaeology, Vol 1: Ache-Hoho'', 2nd Edition, 641–644.

Antimenes Painter
The Antimenes Painter was an Attica, Attic vase painter of the black-figure vase painting, black-figure style, active between circa 530 and 510 BC. The real name of the Antimenes Painter is not known; his current name is an archaeological convention, derived from the Kalos inscription on a ''hydria'' in Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, the archaeological museum of Leyden. Of the 150 works ascribed to him, ''The Antimenes Painter decorated vases in the black-figure technique in Athens from about 530 to 510 B.C. Working in a period when many artists were switching to the new red-figure technique, the Antimenes Painter was one of the most prolific black-figure artists of his time. Over 140 of his vases survive, mostly amphorae and hydriai. He decorate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eucharides Painter
Eucharides Painter () is the common nickname of an ancient Greek artist who decorated but did not sign Attic vases. Neither his real name, nor the dates of his birth and death are known. Presumably this artist was a pupil of the Nikoxenos Painter. The name was introduced in 1911 by John Beazley, a classical historian at the University of Oxford, who had a special interest in Attic vases. Through close examination of stylistic details, Beazley and other scholars recognized pieces painted by the same artist. In this case, the nickname appreciates the anonymous painter's repeated use of kalos inscriptions praising the beauty of a named young boy. A vase with the inscription ΚΑΛΟΣ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΔΕΣ ("kalos Eucharides", i.e. Eucharides is beautiful) became the source of the artist's name. The Eucharides Painter was working in Athens in the years from about 500 BC to 470 BC. At this time the technique of vase painting switched from black-figure to red-figure illustrations, a pro ...

Ergoteles (potter)
Ergoteles (Έργοτέλης) was a Greek potter, active in Athens around the middle of the 6th century BC. He was the son of the famous potter Nearchos and the brother of Tleson. Three signed Little-master cups by him are known: * Berlin, Antikensammlung F 1758 * Florence, arts trade * Oxford, Ashmolean Museum G 1004 Bibliography * John Beazley Sir John Davidson Beazley (; 13 September 1885 – 6 May 1970) was a British classical archaeologist and art historian, known for his classification of Attic vases by artistic style.

Elbows Out
Elbows Out is the name given to an Attic black-figure vase painter, active in Athens around 550/540 to 520 BC. His conventional name is derived from the strongly exaggerated gestures and odd anatomy of his dancing figures. Together with the Affecter, he is considered one of the Mannerists of the black-figure style. He painted e.g. lip cups (which classifies him as a Little master) and neck amphorae, the latter in a special shape with a heavy ovoid body. His amphorae are decorated with several friezes. His band cups resemble works by Tleson and Lydos, but are more conventional in terms of the animal motifs. He also painted a '' lydion'', a vase shape very rarely produced by Attic potters. He is often seen as connected with the Affecter, but also with the Amasis Painter. The link with the latter should not be overestimated. He rarely painted mythological scenes, but had a penchant for erotic motifs, as can be seen in his unusually shaped ''hydria The hydria (; : hydriai ...

Chimera Painter
The Chimera Painter (also spelled Chimaera Painter) was an anonymous Corinthian black figure vase painter active c. 600–575 BC. He is named for the Chimera depicted on one of his works, which is now in Vienna. The artist was likely a student of the Columbus Painter, who in turn was a student of the Painter of Palermo 489. His work displays strong Near Eastern influence; the influence of Assyrian art Assyrian sculpture is the sculpture of the ancient Assyrian states, especially the Neo-Assyrian Empire of 911 to 612 BC, which was centered around the city of Assur in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) which at its height, ruled over all of Mesopo ... is particularly visible in his depictions of lions.* References External links * ''Plate with Seated Lioness''on Google Arts and Culture ''Corinthian Round-Bodied Pyxis'' c. 570 B.C. attributed to the Chimera Painter.in the online catalog of the Getty Museum {{Greek vase painters Ancient Greek vase painters Ancient Corinthians ...

Cerameicus Painter
The Cerameicus Painter (also Kerameikos Painter) was one of the first Attic black-figure vase painters. He was active around 600 BC. The Cerameicus Painter can be placed stylistically between the Nessos Painter and the Gorgon Painter; he is probably chronologically closer to the latter. He was less productive than the Gorgon Painter and painted in a simple yet fluid style. His name is based on his name vase, found in the Kerameikos of Athens. That vase is an '’ olpe’’ and can be considered exemplary of the vase painting of its time. The vase is subdivided into several zones of animal friezes. In the upper area, a single mythological figure is flanked by two lions, the latter a popular motif at the time.

Castellani Painter
The Castellani Painter was an Attic vase painter of the black-figure style active in the second quarter of the sixth century BC. The Castellani Painter is especially well known for his drawings on Tyrrhenian amphorae, of which he is considered the most significant painter. His work is distinguished by the use of a vegetal frieze above to animal friezes, as well as by his humorous depictions of large-headed humans and mythical creatures. His conventional name is derived from his name vase, once held in the Castellani Collection.
