The Andokides Painter was an Attic vase painter of the late Archaic . From about 530 to 510 BC Artists who worked in BC are usually considered to be the "inventors" of red-figure vase painting .

life and work

The actual name of the Andokides painter is not known. It got its emergency name after the potter Andokides , who signed five vessels he had painted. With the exception of three eye cups , all of his vases are abdominal amphorae of the so-called "Type A". The painter is considered a student of the important black-figure vase painter Exekias . The first attempts to paint in the red-figure style are attributed to him. In addition, he also experimented with white-ground painting.

Seven of the vases ascribed to him, six abdominal amphorae and an eye cup, are so-called bilinguals with a red-figure and a black-figure painted side. John D. Beazley attributed the black-figure side of these vases to the Lysippides Painter , as did a number of other vessels painted entirely in black. Even Beazley was not sure whether these were two painters or a painter with different stylistic elements in the techniques. Ultimately, however, he decided on two different painters; the reasons for this were clearly worked out , above all, by Beth Cohen and by Heide Mommsen . For example, Konrad Schauenburg , Herbert Marwitz and John Boardman spoke out in favor of the unity of the two painters ; Martin Robinson and others were undecided on the question. The clear stylistic differences in the detail drawing of red-figure and black-figure images speak against an identity, especially when it comes to anatomical information. Proponents see this as a deliberate style element, as a deliberate comparison of the different possibilities of the two painting styles. “The discrepancy between the traditionally bound painting style of the Lysippides painter and the impartial and sensitive red-figure pictures [of the Andokides painter], despite mutual adaptation, can only be explained by the different characters of two masters” (H. Mommsen).

The paintings of the Andokides painter mostly show mythical subjects, with Heracles predominating. The figures appear a bit angular and stiff, "but exude a naive, cheerful charm" ( Irma Wehgartner ). What is striking is the sparse interior drawing of the body in contrast to the very ornamental representation of the clothing. The Andokides painter did not yet exhaust the possibilities of red-figure painting; that was reserved for the pioneer group around Euphronios . The proximity of his style to that of the friezes of the treasure house of the Siphnians in Delphi allows a dating of the earliest works and thus the earliest red-figure vase painting around the year 530 BC.
