Baltimore Painter (Greek vase painter, active ca. 330-ca. 310 BCE in Apulia)
|
Note: The Baltimore Painter may have worked near Canosa, where many of his vases have been found, although there is some connection with the Underworld Painter, who was probably from Tarentum. He is named after a monumental volute krater in Baltimore, Maryland, possibly depicting Hermes and Persephone in the underworld. Many other mythological subjects can be found in his unusually large oeuvre, although his work is considered less original than that of his near contemporary, the Darius Painter, probably also from Tarentum. In addition to large numbers of minor vases primarily decorated with a single painted female head, his workshop produced many volute kraters with scenes at grave shrines. The figures, the deceased and family members, are sometimes painted with colors (red, orange-yellow and white). In the multi-figured compositions of the Baltimore Painter, various objects are scattered all over the ground. The Baltimore Painter is not known for his meticulous draftsmanship: his lines tend to be thick with rapid brush movements. Overall, his style can be described as coarse yet vivid. The early works of his successor, the White Saccos Painter, are extremely close to those of the Baltimore Painter. The Baltimore Painter had considerable influence on his followers, who probably kept his workshop going until the turn of the century when red-figure vases stopped being made. |
