Berlin Painter

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Berlin Painter

(flourished 500–460 BC, Athens, Greece) Greek vase painter, the outstanding vase painter of the late Archaic period. He is best known as the decorator of an amphora now in Berlin. Whereas it had been customary to frame the groups of figures on each side of the vase with pattern bands, the Berlin Painter eliminated the frame, allowing the figures to dominate and stand out sharply against the black background. Nearly 300 vases are attributed to him.

Not only the Muhlheimer Freiheit group, of which Walter Dahn was also a member, but also the Berlin painters Salome, Rainer Fetting, and Martin Kippenberger, along with Hamburg's Oehlen brothers, all seemed to be painting anything and everything, quickly and in vibrant color.
