The Brygos painter, though more well known for his drinking cups, now has over 200 vases attributed to him, including a small selection of lekythoi. He was a student of Onesimos, and is characterised by his truthful depictions of the human body. He enjoyed painting scenes of genre and myth as well as symposia and athletic feats. For further discussion on the Brygos painter see J. Boardman, Athenian Red Figure Vases of the Archaic Period, London, 1975.
