Acheloos Painter (Attic vase painter, active ca. 525-ca. 500 BCE)
|
Note: The Acheloos Painter takes his name from a vase in the Berlin Museum that shows Herakles battling the river god Acheloos. He is one of the few members of the Leagros Group with a large enough oeuvre to have been given a separate list of attributions by the connoisseur, Beazley. All his work is black-figure with little added color. The artist's use of larger vase shapes, including amphorae and hydria, is typical of the group; however, he also painted several smaller vases that are probably dated later. His choice of subjects sometimes differs from that of the Leagros group, notably in his preference for scenes with Herakles but not Troy, his use of comic episodes. His style of drawing and composition is characteristic of the Leagros group, including the use of large and dark scenes with figures that are large, long-legged, and have a distinctive trunk-like nose. He is considered a part of the Antiope Group, which is a subset of the Leagros Group. |
