Creusa PainterGreek, active about 410-370 BCE

Lucanian red-figure vase-painter whose name is unknown. Nevertheless consistent individual characteristics of style suggest the existence of a unique artistic personality. Trendall called him the Creusa Painter naming him after the subject of a bell-krater in the Louvre that was later attributed to the Dolon Painter (q.v.). One of the immediate successors of the Amykos Painter (q.v.), he also had close connections with contemporary Apulian painters of the 'Plain' style (especially the Tarporley Painter, q.v.). Extremely prolific, he often repeated stock figures. He painted a variety of subjects, mostly Dionysiac, genre with warriors and athletes and some mythology. A very large number of vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style.
