The Euaion Painter

Also known as: The Euaion Painter; primary name: Euaion Painter
Details: individual; painter/draughtsman; Greek; Male
Other dates: 470BC-450BC (fl.)
Biography: Athenian red-figure vase-painter whose name is unknown. Nevertheless consistent individual characteristics of style suggest the existence of a unique artistic personality. Beazley called him the Euaion Painter naming him after the 'kalos' name he inscribed on one of his vases. A follower of Douris (q.v.), he was extremely prolific and very many vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style. He specialised in decorating cups, but sometimes also decorated other shapes.
Bibliography: Beazley ARV² 789-798; Boardman ARFH1 195.
