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

The Hischylos painter was one of the early red-figure bowl painters who were active at around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style. Like the other bowl painters, the Hischylos 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 pioneer group, but still carried they play their part in the success of the new style. The Hischylos painter mainly painted eye bowls in the black -figure style and other bowl shapes in the red-figure style. He was a talented draftsman whose characters were mostly very successful and whose compositions were often characterized by tension. His heavily entwined palmettes also testified to great skill, while foreshortening caused him problems. 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 , an eye bowl in the collection of the Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia , which is signed by the potter Hischylos . The Hischylos painter was one of the first vase painters to decorate the shape of the bell crater, which was newly emerging at the time .
