Who is Cerameicus Painter?
The Cerameicus Painter was one of the first Attic black-figure vase painters. He was active around 600 BC.
The Cerameicus Painter can be placed stylistically between the Nessos Painter and the Gorgon Painter,; he is probably chronologically closer to the latter. He was less productive than the Gorgon Painter and painted in a simple yet fluid style. His name is based on his name vase, found in the Kerameikos of Athens. That vase is an '’olpe’’ and can be considered exemplary of the vase painting of its time. The vase is subdivided into several zones of animal friezes. In the upper area, a single mythological figure is flanked by two lions, the latter a popular motif at the time.
