The Dinos Painter was an Attic red-figure vase painter who was active during the second half of the 5th century BC. The Dinos Painter stood in the tradition of the Kleophon Painter, but was less serious. He stood at the transition between High Classical and Late Classical art. His works mark the beginning of the Attic vase painters' interest in epic scenes. One or few figures are depicted as the centre of an event, the frieze-like depiction of the course of the event known from earlier styles is absent. His paintings initiate the "Rich Style" of the following generation, he already uses an increased amount of added white to stress details. The habit of using white to depict Eros and furniture is an innovation by the Dinos Painter; a generation later it formed part of the standard repertoire.
