The Chiusi Painter painted vases in the black-figure technique in Athens in the period about 520 to 510 B.C. He decorated a wide variety of vessel shapes, including amphorae, kraters, and hydriai. The battle of Herakles and Triton appeared frequently in his work. As with most ancient artists, the true name of the Chiusi Painter is unknown; he is identified only by the stylistic traits of his work.
