Painter of the Vatican Horseman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Painter of Vatican rider (alternatively painter of the rider from the Vatican ; English Painter of the Vatican Horseman ) is the notname a Greek vase painter , who towards the end of the 6th century. Was active in Athens .

The painter of the Vatican rider , who was active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style , was one of the earliest red-figure bowl painters . Like other bowl painters of this time, the painter of the Vatican rider did not yet test the possibilities of the new technology to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneer group on larger vases due to the comparatively smaller work surface - the inside and the two outer sides of the bowls did, but the bowl painters also contributed to the success of the new style.

John D. Beazley recognized the handwriting of the vase painter within the ten thousand-part inventory of well-known Attic red-figure vases and fragments and fundamentally compiled his works. Beazley only ascribed a few works to the painter, two in all and three others related to them. The painter of the Vatican rider decorated two chronologically particularly early eye cups of the rare form of the abnormal eye cups . It got its emergency name after a bowl in the Museo Gregoriano Etrusco of the Vatican Museums , which shows a rider on the A side. The second bowl consists of several fragments that were originally distributed among four museums and now belong to the Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia . A bowl from the painter's environment was designed on the outside in an unusual shape with outline drawings ( semi-outline ) and black-figure plant ornaments ( floral black ). A second bowl, which was placed in the vicinity of the painter, consists of fragments of a ribbon bowl, usually decorated with black figures, painted in red figures . The third bowl from the close vicinity is bilingual , i.e. red-figure outside, the tondo (inside) black-figure.
