Painter of Athens 533

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Painter of Athens 533 was an Attic - black-figure vase painters. His works are dated around the second quarter of the 6th century BC. Dated.

The Painter of Athens 533 was a vase painter whose most important achievement was to combine the Attic Komast bowls of the Komast group with the influences of Eastern Greek vase painting. So he drew fine lines inside the base of the bowl. He was one of the first painters to use the new painting style of his time, with which he decorated the new shape of the siana bowls . His name vase , which is now in Athens, shows a tondo (interior image), as it was only known from Lekanen until then in the adaptation to the figurative specifications of the vase shape in Attic art . The artist probably took over the setting of his tondo by means of fine hoop representations from undecorated vases. His lions are reminiscent of crossings of the form common for Corinth with lions, as shown by the KX painter . Above all, his way of depicting the handle palms anticipates later decorative forms of the Siana bowls and the Kleinmeister bowls . It is possible that the painter of Athens in 533 was the inventor of the button- handle bowls , of which he painted a footless copy, among other things.
