Triptolemos Painter

Career

He was active in Athens between 490 and 470 British Columbia. His real name is not known. He started working in the workshop of Euphronios, where he was probably taught by Douris. Later, he also worked for the potters Brygos, Hieron and Python.

Initially, his style was strongly influenced by Archaic art

His later works are mediocre in quality. Nonetheless, his repertoire is broad, reaching from the Apaturia procession via erotic scenes and Theban scenes to the departure of Triptolemos (his name vase).
