Literature

The Princeton Painter, named by Beazley after a neck-amphora of Panathenaic shape in the Princeton University Arts Museum (acc. no. y169), was a contemporary of the most renowned black-figure painters, including Lydos, Exekias, the Amasis Painter, and the Affecter. Although lesser known than these artists, the Princeton Painter deserves favourable recognition for his skill in coordinating shape, ornament, and figural composition. His drawing is clean, and often colourful from the abundant use of added red and white, as well as ornamental patterns on garments. His subjects too are often interesting and very imaginative.

For further discussion of the Princeton Painter and his associates see, M.B. Moore, 'The Princeton Painter', Metropolitan Museum Journal, vol. 42, 2007, pp. 21-56; J.D. Beazley, Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painters, Oxford, 1956, p.297-302. For similar amphorae depicting a departing young warrior mounted on horseback, attributed to the manner of the Princeton Painter, see the Louvre, Paris, acc. no. Cp 229, F 12; and Warsaw, (BAPD 320435).
