Mannerist Workshop
(5th century BC). Greek vase painters. This group of over 15 Attic Red-figure vase painters, including the PAN PAINTER, worked throughout the 5th century BC, mainly decorating column kraters, hydriai and pelikai. Their rather affected style is characterized by tall, slender figures with small heads, and by the perpetuation of Archaic features. The latter include stacked pleats and groups of folds in garments, hanging lotus-bud chains and framed pictures on pelikai and the shoulders of hydriai, as well as subjects such as the Draped Apollo Playing a Lyre (e.g. on a column krater; Tarquinia, Pal. Vitelleschi, 684) and Ajax and Achilles Playing a Board Game (e.g. on a column krater; Berlin, Pergamonmus. 3199).
