Hirschfeld painter
The Hirschfeld painter is a Greek vase painter who is not known by name and who worked in the period from 750 to 735 BC. Was active in Attica .
The works of the Hirschfeld painter belong to the late Geometric style (SG Ib). His emergency name is derived from the archaeologist Gustav Hirschfeld , who first described a work by the painter in 1872. The large crater found on Kerameikos , the so-called “ Hirschfeld Crater ”, is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens . As was common in the Geometric Period, the Hirschfeld painter was probably both a potter and a vase painter. The crater with a spout and the squat neck - handle amphora were probably invented in his workshop . His style is reminiscent of that of the Dipylon painter , who began a little earlier , but his double and multiple meanders run in the opposite direction. His figures often have a recessed space for the eyes, which are also marked there with a point in the center, his heads appear beak-like with their tips, which are intended to denote either the nose or the chin. The rib cage is formed by a triangle with concave sides, the legs are curved. Women are characterized by breasts and tufts of hair. His billy goats look forward, their eyes are clay-ground. He no longer shows fight scenes.
