The Mesogeia Painter , also Mesogaia Painter , was an early Protoattic vase painter .
The Mesogeia painter got his emergency name after the location of several hydria decorated by him , which were found in Mesogeia . The early Protoattic artist was possibly a pupil of the Stathatou painter and a contemporary of the Analatos painter and worked in the first quarter of the 7th century BC. Possibly he was a student of the late Geometric Stathatou painter and himself taught the Middle Protoattic Polyphemus painter .
