Kleophon Painter
( fl c. 440–c. 420/410 BC). Greek vase painter. He is named after a kalos inscription praising the youth Kleophon on an Attic Red-figure stamnos (St Petersburg, Hermitage, B 2353). He was initially a member of the workshop of POLYGNOTOS, but also worked with the ACHILLES PAINTER, as a Nolan amphora (Angers, Mus. Turpin de Crissé, 13), lekythos (New York, Met., 22.139.189) and pelike (London, BM, E 392) attest, and he eventually taught the Dinos Painter. The attribution to him of the White-ground work of the Bosanquet Painter and Thanatos Painter (Felten) is unconvincing. However, a Black-figure Panathenaic amphora (Copenhagen, Ny Carlsberg Glyp., 3606) may be his.
