Dokimasia Painter. The Dokimasia Painter was a Greek vase-painter of the Attic red-figure style who worked around 485-465 BC. His actual name is unknown and his conventional name is derived from his name-vase, showing the inspection of horses at the Dokimasia festival, now in Berlin.
He was a young member of a workshop in which potter Brigos' cups were painted. John Beazley gave him the name of the vessel in which the horses of the ephebes are checked.
Although he appears to have specialized in painting goblets, as a later work, paintings in other forms of vasoss were also attributed to him, namely stamnos, chalice craters, and calates. His subjects, apart from dokimasia, were for example hoplithodromes, symposia, comos or teaching scenes, and he also painted scenes from Greek mythology, for example from the legends of the heroes Heracles and Theseus or the singer Orpheus.
