Scheurleer painter

The Scheurleer painter was a Greek vase painter who worked towards the end of the 6th century BC. Chr. In Athens worked.

The Scheurleer painter was one of the early red-figure bowl painters who were active around the same time as the so-called " pioneer group " of the red-figure style. Like the other bowl painters, the Scheurleer painter also tested the possibilities of the new technology due to the comparatively smaller working surface of the bowls - the inside (tondo) and the two outer sides - not to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneer group, but still carried they play their part in the success of the new style. The Scheurleer painter mainly painted bilingual eye cups and palmette eye cups , with the tondi mostly decorated in red and the outside with black figures. The quality of his pictures cannot keep up with that of the best bowl painters of his time, especially the proportions and details of his pictures are inferior to the better vase painters. He prefers to show individual athletes and warriors in his interior images. The usual decoration scheme, red-figure inside, black-figure outside, he turns around several times in his works, some pieces he also paints entirely in the new style. Its name has not been passed down, which is why John D. Beazley made it distinguishable with an emergency name . He received this after his name vase , an eye bowl from the previous collection of the Archaeological Museum Scheurleer founded by Constant Willem Lunsingh Scheurleer , whose collection has now been transferred to the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam .
