Foundry Painter

His real name is unknown; the conventional name is derived from his most famous work, the Berlin Foundry Cup.

His style and subject range are very similar to those of the Brygos Painter, who seems to have had a strong influence on all his collaborators in those regards.

Nonetheless, the Foundry Painter's style differs in certain details; John Beazley judged his works as powerful, sometimes even crude.

Especially his symposium scenes are closely connected with those of the Brygos Painter, although he adds his own characteristic perspective especially in details.

For example, there is a vase by him that depicts a sculptor at work, watched by the goddess Athena, shown at Olive and Oil Museum in Torgiano.
