Chairias painter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Milan bowl

Chairias painter is the emergency name of a Greek vase painter who worked towards the end of the 6th century BC. Was active in Athens .

The Chairias painter , who was active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style , was one of the early red-figure bowl painters . Like other bowl painters of this time, the Chairias painter tested the possibilities of the new technology due to the comparatively smaller work surface - the inside and the two outside of the bowls - not yet to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneer group on larger vases, Nevertheless, the bowl painters also contributed to the success of the new style.

The Berlin bowl

John D. Beazley recognized the handwriting of the vase painter within the ten thousand-part inventory of well-known Attic red-figure vases and fragments and fundamentally compiled his works. Beazley attributed only a few works to the painter, two in all and two other related works. Other researchers have added two more works. Already in 1893 Paul Hartwig had put together the two bowls assigned by Beazley and one of the two bowls he pointed near for his book The Greek master bowls of the blooming period of the strict red-figure style , but wrongly ascribed the vase painter Phintias . The Chairias painter got his emergency name from a favorite inscription on the two bowls: Ancient Greek ΧΑΙΡΙΑΣ ΚΑΛΟΣ , Chairias Kalos , Chairias is beautiful . He leaves the outside undecorated, the inside shows mostly young men and these mostly at the symposium .
