Lysippides Painter

The Lysippides Painter was an Attic black-figure vase - painter, active in Athens about 530-510 BC

Life and work

He received his Notnamen of a favorite inscription on the neck amphora London B 211 He is considered the greatest disciple of Exekias, from which he also took over some of the issues except the one character (eg Ajax and Achilles playing drafts ), next he preferred the representation Herakles - deeds. To date it about 30 vases have been assigned

Unusual is his collaboration with the Andokides - painter, who is considered the inventor of the red-figure vase painting. In seven bilinguals vases, six Bauchamphoren and a bowl in Palermo, he has painted each of the black- side, while the Andokides painter painted the red-figure side; partially the topics of both sides are the same. It was and is controversial in science, whether the two painters are not identical and have painted only two techniques for reasoning see the Andokides painter. However, even John D. Beazley has the two painters as two different personalities divorced, what could be worked out more clearly, especially by Beth Cohen; in the same sense also Heide Mommsen. For the unity of the two painters, however, about Konrad Look Castle, Herbert Marwitz and John Boardman from Martin Robinson and others thought undecided on the issue spoke.
