A vase painter working in Athens from about 500 to 480 BCE, Makron worked exclusively in the red-figure technique. He specialized in the decoration of cups but occasionally worked with other types of vessels. Unlike many other vase painters of this period, Makron does not seem to have worked with a variety of potters, moving from workshop to workshop. Instead, he appears to have had a steady collaboration with the potter Hieron. Most of Makron's vases depict scenes from daily life: revelry, athletics, or erotica.
