or Kleophrades Painter

flourished late 6th–early 5th century BC, Greece

Greek vase painter.

Of unknown identity, he takes his name from that of the potter who signed one of his principal works; he may have been a pupil of Euthymides . He decorated large vases with popular scenes, such as athletic contests and mythological epics, mostly in the red-figure style (see red-figure pottery ). Over 100 vessels have been attributed to him.
