Phiale painter
The Phiale Painter is a painter of the Attic - red-figure style. He was active in a period between 460 and 430 BC. Chr.
The Phiale painter is considered a pupil of the Achilles painter . Unlike his teacher, he likes to show stories in his pictures. He paints several large calyx craters in two levels of representation. In general, unlike his master, he seems to have preferred larger vessels. This can also be seen in his few known white-ground works, which, however, were more expressive than those of the Achilles painter. In addition to a few lekyths, he painted two calyx craters using a white-ground technique, which was rare with this vase shape. He possibly takes his subjects from the theater of his time, his preferred Kalos name is definitely that of Aeschylus' son Euaion . He got his emergency name from a phiale he had painted , a vase shape that was rarely painted figuratively.
