Information About

Berlin Painter




His painted figures are usually isolated or paired without framing devices against a glossy black ground, so integral to the forms of their superbly-made bodies that the wares are thought to have been produced in his shop. Over a long career he trained many younger vase-painters, including, probably, the Achilles Painter .

Many of his valued works were preserved as elite Grave Goods in the necropoli of Magna Graecia , notably at Vulci , Nola and Locri .
