Work associated with the Salting Painter by John D. Beazley (“ reminiscent of the Salting Painter ”) in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen . Hoplite (several hoplite representations by the Salting painter are known in this form, but mostly with naked hoplites), around 520/500 BC. Chr .; possibly an early work by the painter, in which not all later peculiarities of the proportions were pronounced.

The Salting Painter was a Greek vase painter of the red-figure style , the end of the v sixth century. Chr. In Athens worked.

The Salting Painter was one of the relatively early red-figure bowl painters . His creative period is around the last decade of the 6th century BC. B.C. or partly set a few years earlier. Its name has not been passed down, which is why John D. Beazley , who recognized and defined his artistic handwriting within the large body of ancient painted ceramics, has made it distinguishable with an emergency name . He received this emergency name after his name vase in the Victoria and Albert Museum , which previously belonged to the collection of the renowned art collector George Salting . In the tondo (inside) it shows a young, naked athlete with a disc in his hand.

The style of the salting painter, like that of many bowl painters of the time, is not easy to grasp. He is especially close to the carpenter-painter . Beazley ascribed few works to him. With six bowls he was certain that two more bowls might belong to the early work of the vase painter. This is followed by two more bowls, which he classifies as close to the Salting Painter, and two more bowls from the stylistic proximity.
