ATTRIBUTED TO THE PAINTER OF MUNICH 2676, CIRCA 470-460 B.C.

J.D. Beazley (p. 391 in Attic Red-Figured Vase-Painters, second edition) placed the Painter of Munich 2676 within the circle of the Brygos Painter. He notes that the artist “began as an imitator of the Brygos Painter, but in his later, early classic period had lost touch with the Brygan style.” In the tondo of the kylix presented here is a winged goddess, perhaps Nike, clad in a patterned chiton and a himation, her hair secured by a sakkos, moving to the right towards an altar with a torch held in her outstretched hand. For a similar scene by the artist, see the kylix in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, p. 393, no. 33 in Beazley, op. cit.
