Q painter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Q-Painter was an Attic red-figure vase painter who lived around 400 BC. Worked together with the Diomedes painter in the workshop of the Jena painter .

Over 70 vases or fragmented vessels have survived from the Q painter, who mainly painted shell skyphoi. His drawings are less meticulous and less lively than those of the Jena painter. Pictorial motifs mostly come from the subject area of Dionysus .
