The Meidias Painter

by Lucilla Burn

As the last great Athenian red-figure vase painters, the Meidias Painter and his followers were known for their depiction of elegant women gracefully assembled. Combining stylistic and thematic analysis, this iconographical study examines the group's subject matter, sources of inspiration, and the relationship of their depicted scenes with life in the late 5th century B.C.
