Rycroft Painter

The Rycroft Painter was an Attic late black-figure vase painter, active in the final decade of the sixth century BC.

His work is closely connected with that of the contemporary red-figure technique, which was then in the process of replacing black-figure as the dominant style.

He often painted Dionysiac scenes, but his best works are those focusing on depictions of posture and dignity.

A stylistically close contemporary was the Painter of Tarquinia RC 6847.
