Painter of the ram jug
As a painter of Aries pot (English: Ram Jug Painter ) is a painter of Mittelprotoattischen called style. His works are in the second third of the 7th century BC. Dated.
The painter of the ram jug got his emergency name after an oinochoe of an Eastern Greek type that was found in the city of Aegina . It shows the flight of Odysseus and several of his companions, hidden under rams, from the cave of Polyphemus . The high-necked vase is also decorated with diamond-like patterns. At first the vase was thought to be Aeginian, later Proto-Corinthian , Argive , Cretan and Cycladic . The vase is now considered a protoattic. John D. Beazley also assigned a fragmentary neck amphora to the painter of the vase , which was a novelty for Attic art. For the first time a mythological event was distributed on the front and back of the vase. The front picture shows Peleus with the boyish Achilles . This drawing has no scratches. The reverse, which shows Cheiron , is different . That of the Polyphemus Painter is closely connected with the work of the painter .
