Mario painter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mario painter is an early Attic red-figure vase painter who worked at the beginning of the 5th century BC. Worked in Athens.

It is named by John D. Beazley after the collector Mario Astarita . He attributed two bowls to the painter, one in private Swiss ownership (formerly the Ludwig Curtius collection ) and another formerly in the collection of Mario Astarita, now in the Vatican Museums . Both show a symposium scene in the interior . He presumably also attributed the fragment of a bowl depicting a symposium in the Munich Collection of Antiquities to this painter .
