Pan Painter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pelike showing Heracles fighting Busiris, found at Thespiai. Circa 470 BC. Athens, National Archaeological Museum.

The Pan Painter was an ancient Greek vase-painter of the Attic red-figure style, active ca. 480 to 450 BC. A pupil of Myson, he stands the beginning of the Mannerists, though his drawing technique is considered the finest.^[1] Sir John Beazley attributed over 150 vases to his hand. His name-vase is a bell krater in Boston depicting Pan pursuing a goatherd.^[2]
