The Thalia Painter is an Athenian red-figure cup painter active ca. 520-500 BCE that painted a bilingual cup (black-figure
interior, red-figure exterior). The name derives from the appellation “Thalia” inscribed on a cup from Vulci (Berlin, Antikensammlung
3251; Florence, Archaeological Museum, 1B49; BAPD 200964) showing an erotic scene. Other subjects include Dionysos and followers,
athletes, warriors, and revelers (“komasts”). Findspots are Chiusi and the Athenian Acropolis.
