As coarser Wing ( English Coarser wings ) are a group of ancient Greek vase painters and on the edge of the associated names are known pottery referred these painters.

In the Coarser Wing , John D. Beazley presented Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters in his work . those early bowl painters whose works were of a weaker quality than those of vase painters working at the same time. They were active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style , that is, in the last third of the 6th century BC. There are also several direct references to the black-figure style . Within the Coarser Wing , Beazley divided three groups:

The numbers in brackets name the pieces (including the addenda) that Beazley in the second edition of the Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters assigned to the respective vase painters and groups as well as the items (including the addenda); the added numbers indicate Beazley's additions to the Paralipomena . The vase painters named after the Pithos painter in the Coarser Wing II are assigned to the workshop in which the Pithos painter worked.

John Boardman describes the vase painters of the Coarser Wing as third-class representatives of their field. In his handbook, apart from the representatives of the first group, he only lists the Pithos painter and, without mentioning membership of this group, the Epeleios painter. In the best case scenario, he only sees routine copies of vases of, for example, Epictetus in the works . The choice of motifs is also mostly limited, with satyrs , youths with wineskins or vessels and individual warrior figures predominating . Very often only the tondo (the inside) of the bowl is decorated, but not the outside, which remained black . Mainly bowls of type B and C were decorated, the latter mainly only on the inside.

The Coarser Wing is not a group in the actual definition of Beazley, which is why he did not name the "wing" that way. It is only a qualitative compilation of artisans and their works of a certain time, a certain style and a primarily, but not exclusively, decorated vessel shape.
