Douris

Also known as: Douris; primary name: Douris
Details: individual; painter/draughtsman; Greek; Male
Other dates: 500BC-470BC (fl.)
Biography: Athenian red-figure vase-painter whose signature as painter is preserved on some 39 vases as painter (egrapsen 'painted it') and a couple as potter (epoiesen 'made it'). He was extremely prolific and over 300 vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style. He was primarily a cup painter but also decorated some other shapes. Most of his cups were made by the potter Python (q.v.). His work had a strong influence on other cup painters and his style was much imitated, including (puzzlingly) his signature (cf. Triptolemos Painter, q.v.).
Bibliography: Beazley ARV² 425-448; Boardman ARFH1 137-139; Buitron-Oliver, Diana 'Douris: A Master Painter of Athenian Red-figure Vases' (Mainz 1995).
