Painter of Agora P2578

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Painter of Agora P 2578 was an ancient Greek vase painters , the end of the 6th very early in or 5th Century. Chr. In Athens worked.

The painter from Agora P 2578 was one of the early vase painters of the red-figure style of Greek vase painting . His style was recognized among the tens of thousands of surviving vases and fragments by John D. Beazley , who also gave it the emergency name . He belonged to the generation of vase painters who developed the new style further after the development of the new style, but with other bowl painters he stood a little apart from the pioneering group that defined the style, especially on large vessels. It was named after three bowls in the Agora Museum of Athens , all of which were also found during excavations on the Athens Agorawere found. All bowls are fragmented and only painted inside . All pictures show satyrs .

Beazley did not appreciate the drawing abilities of the painter Agora P 2578 particularly highly and classified him as part of the weaker late Archaic red-figure vase painters as a member of the second group of the Coarser Wings . He described his style as very close to that of the Pithos painter , especially his bowl in a private collection in Bonn . They probably worked in the same workshop.
