Years: 489BCE - 478BCE

The influential Athenian Greek vase painter Douris, who flourishes in the early fifth century BCE, works in the Red Figure style for three potters: Euphronius, Kleophrades, and Python, mostly for the last.

A prolific and skillful, if unoriginal painter, Douris generally prefers genre subjects but also paints mythological scenes, and his work displays an interest in spatial illusion and the female nude.

Douris signs thirty-nine known vases over his long career; approximately three hundred others have been attributed to him.
