Lysippides Painter

Biography:

The Lysippides Painter was an Attic vase painter in the black-figure style. He was active around 530 to 510 BC and was a pupil of Exekias. He is considered the most significant pupil of Exekias, from whom he adopted not only his artistic style but also some important motifs. He frequently painted scenes involving the hero Herakles. In total, about 30 known vases are ascribed to him. His conventional name comes from a kalos inscription on a vase in the British Museum attributed to him.
