Cleitias

 or Kleitias or Clitias

(flourished c. 580–550 BC, Greece) Greek vase painter and potter. An outstanding master of the Archaic period, he executed the decorations on the François Vase (c. 570 BC), discovered in 1844 in an Etruscan tomb. Painted in the black-figure style (see black-figure pottery), the large vase, signed and decorated with more than 200 figures, is among the greatest treasures of Greek art. Other vases and fragments attributed to him are in the Acropolis Museum, Athens.
