| Berin Dancing Girl |
The Painter of the Berlin Dancing Girl is an Apulian red-figure vase painter active between 430-410 BC. His name is unknown and he was named after a calyx krater in the collection of the Antikensammlung Berlin, it depicts a girl dancing to the aulos being played by a seated woman.
It's believed that they were one of the first South Italian red-figure painters. He was likely educated in an Attic workshop and he seemed to have influences from the Phiale Painter who worked in Attica. He and his followers likely had workshops in Taras (modern day Taranto).
