Antimenes Painter
( fl c. 530–c. 510 BC). Greek vase painter. He is named after a kalos inscription praising Antimenes on a hydria (Leiden, Rijksmus. Oudhd., PC 63). He was one of the most prolific Black-figure artists in Athens in the 6th century BC, and c. 140 of his pieces are extant. He decorated mainly standard neck amphorae and hydriai, though also a few bell amphorae and pseudo-Panathenaic amphorae, a dinos, a psykter and a calyx krater. Most were found in Etruria, especially at Vulci.
