Skythes (Attic bilingual vase painter, active ca. 530-ca. 500 BCE)
|
Note: Noted as a painter of cups; there are also a few extant plaques for which he may have been the painter. He painted in the bilingual style, using both Red-figure and Black-figure. He is particularly noted for several bilingual cups that exhibit a coral-red glaze, which was unusual and probably invented by Exekias. Judging from his name, Skythes may have been Scythian rather than a native Attic inhabitant; however, this is not certain. His work is often inscribed with the name of the citizen and athlete, Epilykos, who is named 14 times as kalos on Skythes' cups in the span ca. 515-505. |
