Sappho Painter
Sappho Painter was an Attic black-figure vase painter, active c. 510–490 BCE.[1]
The artist's name vase is a kalpis depicting the poet Sappho, currently held by the National Museum, Warsaw (Inv. 142333). The hand of the Sappho Painter has been identified on 95 vessels, 70% of which are lekythoi. Their work has also been identified on tomb wall slabs and epinetra.[1]
Nearly half of this artist's paintings are of the white-ground style. They apparently avoided the then-predominant red-figure technique, but sometimes used Six's technique whereby figures are laid on a black surface in white or red and details are incised so that the black shows through.[1] They were influenced and possibly trained by the Edinburgh Painter,[2] and shared a workshop with the Diosphos Painter.[1]
