Pan Painter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pan Painter was an ancient Greek vase painter of the Attic red-figure style. His name is derived from his name vase, a bell krater in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which depicts Pan pursuing a shepherd on the front, and the death of Aktaion on the back. He was a pupil of Myson, active around 480 to 450 BC. He painted kraters, pelikes, hydriai and amphorae. More than a hundred vases are attributed to him. His figural scenes are charcaterised by freshness, skill, humour and irony. His figures can range from coarse to fine, reealing his connections with both Doric and Ionic art. This places him within early Doric-Ionic Classical art.
