Codrus Painter
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Codrus Painter was a Greek vase-painter of the Attic red-figure style who flourished between 440 and 420 BC.[1] His actual name is unknown and his conventional name is derived from his name-vase, now in Bologna, which depicts the mythical Athenian king, Codrus.[2] He is most famous for his red-figure kylix showing the deeds of Theseus, now in the British Museum.[3] Stylistically the Codrus Painter is close to the Aison and the Eretria Painter, and his vases have been found in three tombs with these artists.[4]
