Red-Figure Pottery in Greek Art

Pan Painter

The Attic Pan Painter (c.480–c.450 B.C.) earned his name from a krater (mixing bowl, used for wine and water) on which Pan pursues a shepherd. This photo shows a section from the Pan Painter's psykter (vase for cooling wine) showing the right part of the main scene of the rape of Marpessa, with Zeus, Marpessa, and Idas visible. The pottery is at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich, Germany.

The Pan Painter's style is described as mannerist.
