Asteas and his probable student the Python Painter were the most influential of the Paestan vase painters. Trendall states 'it is primarily to Asteas that the credit must be given for establishing the canons which were to govern Paestan vase-decoration throughout the life of the fabric' (The Red-Figured Vases of Paestum, Hertford, 1987, p. 55).
