Zephyros Painter
The Zephyros painter (active around 460–450 BC) was an Attic vase painter of the Attic red-figure style, whose name is no longer known today . It received its emergency name after the depiction of Skyphos IV in 191 in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, on which a winged youth is depicted as Zephyros . Judging by the vases that have been preserved, he apparently painted exclusively skyphoi. His work is of high quality and shows influences from the Brygos Painter and the Duris School, and is particularly closely related to the Lewis Painter .
