Ilioupersis Painter
The Ilioupersis Painter (also spelled Iliupersis) was an Apulian vase painter. His works are dated to the second quarter of the 4th century BC.
The Ilioupersis Painter begins to the beginning of the middle phase of Apulian vase painting, and the start of the so-called
dionysiac scenes, as well as genre scenes with erotes, men and women. His most important vessel shape is the volute krater, which became the dominant shape in Apulia maybe due to his influence. Nonetheless, the over 100 works attributed to him include many other shapes. He was one of the first vase painters to substantially use additional white and yellow colour. Sometimes, he also utilised red and brown. His most important collaborator and colleague at the same workshop was the Painter of Athens 1714; the many successors continuing his tradition include the Painter of the Dublin situlae
