Painter of the Athens Wedding
The painter of the Athens Wedding ( English Painter of the Athens Wedding ; active around 415-400 BC in Athens ) was a Greek vase painter of the red-figure style .
It received its emergency name after the chalice crater in 1388 in the Athens National Museum with a wedding depiction. John D. Beazley attributed two other vases to him: the bell crater 95.26 in the Museum of Fine Arts , Boston, and the Hydria E 226 in the British Museum , London. The bell crater of 1776 of the Kunsthistorisches Museum as well as the more recent attribution of the shell fragment 78.9262 from Gravisca are probably ascribed to him.
