The Iliupersis Painter was an innovative artist who introduced various groundbreaking innovations to Apulian vase painting. So he introduced the representation of grave scenes in the representation canon ( Naïskosvasen ), also the fluting of vessels in the lower areas and the decoration of the handles of volute craters with round medallions in the shape of a face. A woman's head rising from a calyx between tendrils can also be seen for the first time. The Iliupersis painter shows mythological , Dionysian and genre scenes with erotes , men and women in his pictures . His most important vessel was the volute crater, which through him became the main vessel of Apulian vase painting, but there are also many other forms among the more than 100 works attributed to him. He was also one of the first artists to use white and yellow additional colors on a larger scale. Sometimes he also used red and brown. His most important workshop companion and collaborator was the painter of Athens in 1714 , numerous successors, such as the painter of the Dublin Situlae , are in his tradition.
