The Tarporley painter was an Apulian vase painter . His works are dated to the first quarter of the 4th century BC. Dated.

The Tarporley painter is a representative of the so-called " simple style " and the most important representative of this style of his time. He is considered the pupil and successor of the Sisyphus Painter , which can be seen from the elegant depiction of the limbs and the solemn facial expressions of the women and his cloak youths he portrayed . His robes, however, are more restless. He often draws heads in oval form and tilts them forward. Flowers, twigs or tendrils are often found between his figures. Over time, his style of drawing becomes more fluid, but also less precise. He especially likes to paint on bell craters . Here he often shows Dionysian scenes and pictures from the theater environment. Below is the chronologically first known phlyacic vase , which shows the punishment of a thief, for which he also writes a metrical inscription . However, he rarely depicts mythological scenes.

A particularly close relationship seemed to have existed with the Dolon painter , and there may have been direct collaboration between the two artists at times. There is also a relationship with the Klejman painter and the painter of Lecce 686 . In the successor of the Tarporley painter there are three independent schools, all of which are in the tradition of their master. The most important painter of the first group is the Schiller painter , in the second group the Hoppin painter , the Truro painter and the Lecce painter stand out and in the third group the painter from Karlsruhe B9 and the Dijon painter are of particular importance .
