 The subject of Penthesilea was treated so regularly by the so called Penthesilea Painter, who was active between 470 and 450 BC, that Adolf Furtwängler dubbed him "The Penthesilea Painter".A considerable corpus for this innovative and prolific painter, whose work bridged the "Severe style" and Classicism and must have had a workshop of his own, was rapidly assembled in part by J.D.Beazley.
