The Berlin Painter (working c. 490s–c. 460s BC) is the pseudonym of 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 fifth century B.C. (see Pottery of Ancient Greece). The Berlin Painter was named by Sir John Beazley for a large lidded amphora in the Antiken Museum, Berlin (his namepiece)[1]. The Berlin Painter began working in the Late Archaic style and helped develop the Classic style of Attic red-figure pottery. He produced a series of Panathenaic Prize Amphorae.
His painted figures are usually isolated or paired without framing devices against a glossy black ground, so integral to the forms of their superbly-made bodies that the wares are thought to have been produced in his shop. Over a long career he trained many younger vase-painters, including, probably, the Achilles Painter.
Many of his valued works were preserved as elite grave goods in the necropoli of Magna Graecia, notably at Vulci, Nola and Locri.
