The Delos Painter was a Greek vase painter who worked towards the end of the 6th century BC. Chr. In Athens worked.

The Delos painter was one of the early red-figure bowl painters who were active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style. Like the other bowl painters, the Delos painter also tested the possibilities of the new technology due to the comparatively smaller working surface of the bowls - the inside (tondo) and the two outer sides - not to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneering group, but still carried they play their part in the success of the new style. The Delos painter painted mainly bilingual eye cups , the Tondi mostly black - and the outsides were redfigure decorated, and pure red-figure cups of the type C . He is one of the better secondary painters and with his linear working method is reminiscent of the masters Oltos and Pheidippos . His black-figure tondi are particularly successful. Its name has not been passed down, which is why John D. Beazley made it distinguishable with an emergency name . He received this after his name vase , a bowl in the collection of the Archaeological Museum Delos . Beazley also considered that the works of the Delos Painter could be the Euergides Painter's early work .
