Heracles fights against the Hydra , around 540/530 BC. Chr.

The Princeton painter is an exemplary representative of Attic vase painting of the third quarter of the 6th century BC. He mainly painted neck and belly amphorae in the forms common at that time. The motifs shown correspond to the common patterns of the time and are only slightly varied. He knows the artistic developments of the time, but can only partially portray them in his work. Artistically, he does not come close to the stylistic painter of the time, Exekias . In the pictures of the Princeton painter and other representatives of vase painting, it can be seen that the black-figure style of vase painting could hardly be further developed.
