The Lysippides Painter was an Attic black-figure vase painter , active in Athens around 530-510 BC. Chr.

life and work

He got his emergency name from a favorite inscription on the neck amphora London B 211. He is considered to be the most important student of Exekias , from whom he also adopted some themes in addition to the style of drawing (e.g. Aias and Achilles at the board game), he also preferred the representation of the Heracles deeds. To date, around 30 vases have been assigned to him.

His collaboration with the Andokides painter , who is considered to be the inventor of red-figure vase painting, is unusual . On seven bilingual vases , six abdominal amphoras and a bowl in Palermo, he painted the black-figure side, while the Andokides painter painted the red-figure side; the topics on both sides are partly identical. It was and is controversial in science whether the two painters are not identical and only painted in two techniques, for the argumentation see the Andokides painter. However, even John D. Beazley divorced the two painters as two different personalities, which Beth Cohen in particular was able to work out even more clearly; in the same sense also Heide Mommsen . However, Konrad Schauenburg , Herbert Marwitz and John Boardman spoke out in favor of the unity of the two painters , while Martin Robinson and others were undecided on the question.
