Painter from London E33

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Painter of London E 33 was a Greek vase painter who worked in the late 6th century BC. Chr. In Athens worked.

London name vase

The painter from London E 33 , 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 from London E 33 tested the possibilities of the new technology due to the comparatively smaller work surface - the inside and the two outside of the bowls - not yet to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneer group on larger vases 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. He described the style as being very close to Epictetus , almost imitating, but technically much coarser. In addition, he strongly resembles the style of the Aktorione painter and points to the circle of the Nikosthenes painter . Beazley attributed few works to the painter. Four works certainly appear to him as the work of a single painter, and he places two more bowls in the vicinity. At first, in the Attic Red-Figure Vase-Painters , he led the works under the name Gruppe von London E 33 , but he saw at least the four main works in the supplements as the works of only one painter, in the Paralipomena he led him also only as a painter, no longer as a group.
