Ptoon Painter

The ancient Greek artist who is designated by the Notnamen Ptoon painter, worked in the middle third of the sixth century BC in Athens. He was a representative of the black-figure style.

As image bearers of Ptoon painters preferred mainly oval neck amphorae, spherical hydriai and Sianaschalen. Its hallmarks are representational palmettes and bold black and red pattern on bird wings. He is next to the Camtar painter one of the last representatives of the painter of animal friezes and also not very good. He also sets the screen background still dab of rosettes, which is actually no longer in use at this time. But show a few details with eyelets instead of links associated plants and ornaments reminiscent of the painter Lydos character performances that he is to be set probably later than it would suggest at first glance. His most famous work is the today located in New York Hearst hydria.
