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

The Winchester 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 Winchester 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 pioneering group, but still carried they play their part in the success of the new style. The Winchester painter mainly painted eye cups and palmette eye cups . The quality of his pictures cannot keep up with that of the best bowl painters of his time, but he compensates for his lack of drawing talent in some of his works with a pronounced sense of humor. 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 , a palmette eye bowl in the collection of the Winchester College Museum in Winchester .
