Heidelberg shell fragment by the Schröder painter

The Schröder painter , who was active around the same time as the so-called “ pioneer group ” of the red-figure style , was one of the earliest red-figure bowl painters . Like other bowl painters of this time, the Schröder painter tested the possibilities of the new technology due to the comparatively smaller work surface - the inside and the two outside of the bowls - not yet to the same depth as the representatives of the pioneering group on larger vases, Nevertheless, the bowl painters also contributed to the success of the new style.

John D. Beazley recognized the handwriting of the vase painter within the ten thousand-part inventory of well-known Attic red-figure vases and fragments and fundamentally compiled his works. Beazley attributed only a few works to the painter, three in all. It got its emergency name after a bowl that was previously in the Schröder private collection in Bremen and is now part of the Royal Museum Mariemont in Belgium. Like many of his colleagues at the same time, he decorated his bowls in the interior with a single figure who came from the field of sport or como . Wilhelm Kraiker describes the style for the shell fragment from the collection of antiquities at Heidelberg University as fleeting and careless, but not clumsy.
