Harvard painter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Harvard Painter was a Greek vase painter who worked in the late 6th or very early 5th century BC. Chr. In Athens worked.

The Harvard Painter was one of the early vase painters of the red-figure style of Greek vase painting . His style was recognized among the tens of thousands of surviving vases and fragments by John D. Beazley , who also gave it the emergency name . He belonged to the generation of vase painters who developed the new style further after the development of the new style, but with other bowl painters he stood a little apart from the pioneering group that defined the style, especially on large vessels. The Harvard painter only painted the tondi (inside) of his bowls . It was named after two bowls in the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University . The third of the only three works ascribed to him is also in the possession of the university collection of one of the most important US universities, the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology at Berkeley University .

Beazley did not value the drawing abilities of the Harvard painter particularly highly and classified him as part of the weaker late Archaic red-figure vase painters as a member of the second group of the Coarser Wings . He described the style as raw and saw it stylistically close to the Aktorione painter . An influence of the late Epictetus can thus be seen .
