Literature

The Creusa Painter was originally named after the Creusa krater in the Louvre. He is the most prolific painter from the workshop of the Creusa with seventy-five vases attributed to his hand.

The Creusa Painter’s work shows a very strong Amykan influence in the way that he too prefers two-three figure compositions. He painted a variety of subjects favouring Dionysiac themes or genre scenes, especially with warriors and athletes.
