The Madrid painter is active at a time when the red-figure style was slowly beginning to outstrip the black-figure style. His works certainly breathe the spirit of modern technology, but are still committed to the old style. So he shows anatomical details and uses new poses that were introduced with the new style. For example, it shows a shield in a shortened view and / or a leg each in a frontal and a side view of a collapsing Kyknos . In the same vase, in addition to the new elements, he still shows ancient animal frieze predella . The works of the Madrid painter date back to around 520 BC. Dated. It got its emergency name after a vase that is kept in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional de España in Madrid .
