The name was introduced in 1911 by John Beazley, a classical historian at the University of Oxford, who had a special interest in Attic vases.

In this case, the nickname appreciates the anonymous painter's repeated use of kalos inscriptions praising the beauty of a named young boy.

At this time the technique of vase painting switched from black-figure to red-figure illustrations, a process commonly attributed to the Andokides Painter.
