Kleitias
( fl c. 570–c. 560 BC). Greek vase painter. He signed five Attic vases as painter, always in collaboration with the potter Ergotimos. The most famous of these is a volute krater, the so-called François Vase (Florence, Mus. Archeol., 4209); the others are smaller vessels—a standlet (New York, Met., 31.11.4) and three Gordion cups, only one of which (Berlin, Antikenmus., 4604) has figural decoration. Other paintings attributed to him are on drinking vessels (skyphoi or kantharoi), mainly from excavations on the Athenian Acropolis and in fragmentary condition.
