Niobid Painter
( fl c. 470–c. 445 BC). Greek vase painter and potter. He is named after a scene on an Attic calyx krater depicting the Killing of the Niobids (Paris, Louvre, G 341), and some 130 vases and fragments have been attributed to him. He was trained in the workshop of the BERLIN PAINTER, but c. 470 BC he set up his own workshop along with the Altamura Painter and the Blenheim Painter. This specialized in producing large vases and was subsequently taken over by his pupil POLYGNOTOS.
