Haimon group

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haimon group is a group of Attic vase painters who worked in black-figure style in the first half of the 5th century BC. Was active.

The Haimon group was a group of painters who mainly decorated lekyths , but also other small forms. The name-giving painter of the group is the Haimon painter . The small, slender lekyths are painted in the black - figure, white - ground style, but mostly without the white background. Other rather rare forms are mastoids and mastoid bowls with or without handles, small bowls with feet and mostly single-figure interior images as well as shell skyphoi . The shell skyphoi were decorated with handle palmettes , which consisted of long, bulbous leaves. The subjects of the pictures are unimaginative and hardly vary. The representations of the vases are of modest to very poor quality.

In addition to the Haimon Painter and numerous vases of his kind ( manner of the Haimon Painter ), of which more than 700 are known, John D. Beazley counted other painters in his environment: the Pholos painter , the painter of the half palmettes , the White Painter , the Athens Group 14645 , the Brno Painter , the Elaious 1 Painter , the Lańcut Group and the Lindos Group .
