Shuvalov Painter

The Shuvalov painter's conventional name was allocated by John Beazley, who chose for a name vase an amphora that is now at the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Most of some eighty works ascribed to the Shuvalov Painter were discovered in Italy, mainly in Campania and Lucania.

His works, whether depicting mythological scenes or themes from everyday life, are counted among the best of their time.

John Boardman argues that his paintings have a tendency to be somewhat shallow and facile.

An oinochoe by the Shuvalov Painter on display in Berlin is one of the most famous erotic works of ancient Greek vase painting.
