The Amasis Painter (active around 550-510 BC in Athens) was an ancient Greek vase painter who worked in the black figure technique. He owes his name to the signature of the potter Amasis ("Amasis made me"), who signed 12 works painted by the same hand; this painter is known as the Amasis Painter today. At the time of the exhibition, "The Amasis Painter and His World" (1985), 132 vases had been attributed to this artist.
