Named after his Stamnos at the Louvre (G187) depicting the departure of Triptolemos with Demeter and Persephone, the Triptolemos Painter was active from 480-470 B.C.. He was 'an accomplished and versatile artist' according to J. Boardman (Athenian Red Figure Vases, The Archaic Period, p. 139) and 'started as a cup painter but soon turned to decorate the full range of larger vessels, especially pelikai, stamnoi and column craters, favoured by major painters of the day. It is for the larger vases that he reserves his studies of myth and Beazley admired his 'accomplished, strong, pure' expression of Late Archaic art.'
