Samuel Rogers was a celebrated Romantic poet and prominent figure of London's literary circles in the 19th century. Born into a wealthy banking family he devoted himself to writing poetry and came close to being one of the most famous names of the time, alongside poets such as Wordsworth, Walter Scott and Byron.
It has been suggested that this bell-krater might be by the hand of the Io Painter, cf. A. D. Trendall, The Red-figured Vases of Lucania, Campania and Sicily, Oxford, 1967, p. 259, nos 219-221; and A. D. Trendall, The Red-figured Vases of Lucania, Campania and Sicily, Supplement 3, London, 1983, p. 125, no. 219a.
