Symposia

Florentine painter or Florence painter is the emergency name of an Attic red-figure vase painter who lived around 465–455 BC. Was active.

He was a member of a workshop in which the Boreas painter and the painter from London E 489 were also active; John D. Beazley calls him the “brother” of the Boreas painter because of the stylistic similarities. He mainly painted colonette craters of average quality, his compositions are generally considered unoriginal and his figures are perceived as stiff and ungraceful. An exception is his name vase in Florence , on which the Centauromachy is shown. Other subjects that were painted by him, in addition to the Centauromachy, are Komos scenes, symposia , farewell scenes of warriors or Dionysus with his entourage.
