Onesimos

Also known as: Onesimos; primary name: Onesimos
Details: unknown; painter/draughtsman; Greek
Other dates: 505BC-485BC (fl.)
Biography: Athenian red-figure vase-painter who signed one cup as painter (egrapsen), which was also signed by Euphronios (q.v.) as potter (epoiesen). Other vases have been attributed to him on the basis of style. He is thought to have been Euphronios's chief pupil and decorated cups (and a few other kinds of drinking vessels), all of them potted by Euphronios, for whom he appears to have worked exclusively.
Bibliography: Beazley ARV² 313-314, 318-330; Boardman ARFH1 133-134.
