Berlin Painter. The Berlin Painter is the conventional name given to an Attic Greek vase-painter who is widely regarded as a rival to the Kleophrades Painter, among the most talented vase painters of the early 5th century BCE.
The Berlin Painter along with the Kleophrades Painter was educated by a member of the Pioneer Group, who introduced red-figure painting. The Berlin Painter was named by Sir John Beazley for a large lidded amphora in the Antikensammlung Berlin.
Side A: satyr and Hermes. Hermes strides to the right swinging his arms.
He holds a large kantharos and a kerykeion in his forward hand, and a small oinochoe in his hand which he swings behind him. He is dressed in a short tunic and chlamys, and wears a winged cap and winged boots.
