Acropolis painter 24

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The painter of Akropolis 24 was a Greek vase painter who worked in the last third of the 6th century BC. Chr. In Athens worked.

The painter of Akropolis 24 is one of the particularly early representatives of the “ pioneer group ” of red-figure vase painting . Since very few vases are assigned to him, he has not achieved the significance of other representatives of the group, such as Euphronios , Euthymides or Phintias . Ernst Langlotz , who recognized his artisan style and separated it from the body of the tens of thousands of traditional red-figure vases and fragments, attributed only one plate and two fragments to the painter of Akropolis 24, which probably belonged to a pyxis . John D. Beazley assigned the vase painter another plate from his private collection at the time, the only completely preserved piece. It is possible that the two presumed pyxis fragments belonged to the same vessel, which would reduce the number of attributed works to three. It got its emergency name after one of the two plates with the inventory number 24 in the Acropolis Museum in Athens. Stylistically, the drawings are very reminiscent of the Sosias painter . All of his surviving pictures show women and pictures from everyday domestic life.
