Princeton Painter

Career

He is a typical representative of the Attic vase painting of his time. He mainly painted neck amphorae and belly amphorae of the types then current. His motifs also conform to the patterns popular at the time, with few variations.

In artistic terms, he is no comparison to his dominant contemporary, Exekias.

The vases by him and other artists demonstrate that there was still scope for development in the black-figure style.
