Syriskos

Syriskos ( Greek Συρίσκος , "the little Syrian") was an Attic potter and red-figure vase painter who lived around 490 to 470/60 BC. Was active in Athens .

Syriskos was originally only known as a potter by his signature on an astragalus . In the 1990s, a calyx crater signed by him as a painter was added. Based on the style of this crater, it could be shown that the painterly work of Syriskos is the oeuvre that had been put together under the emergency name of Copenhagen painter . It is also possible that he is identical to the so-called Syriskos painter , who is stylistically closely related to the Copenhagen painter. John D. Beazley referred to the two as "brothers". The affiliation of the two " Πιστόχσενος Συρίσκος εποίεσεν " signed Skyphoi, which Beazley assigned to the PS painter , as he could not decide between the two names, has not yet been conclusively clarified.
