Thanatos Painter - Thanatos Painter
A Greek pottery painter from around the 5th century BCE. Dates of birth and death unknown. He painted pictures of Thanatos (Death) sending the dead to the underworld on the white funerary lekythos made in the Attica region. A few pottery paintings with similar motifs remain on pottery fragments and other remains. The best surviving example is a painting in the British Museum showing Thanatos and Hypnos (Sleep) carrying the body of a soldier in front of a tombstone tied with a tainia (a string of offerings). [Masami Maeda]

前5世紀ころのギリシアの陶画家。生没年不詳。アッティカ地方で製作された葬祭用の白地レキュトスに,タナトス(〈死〉)が死者を冥界に送る絵を描いた陶画家。同様なモティーフを扱った陶画が陶片などで若干残っている。大英博物館にある,タイニア(供養の紐)を結んだ墓碑の前でタナトスとヒュプノス(〈眠り〉)が兵士の遺体を運んでいる絵は現存する最もすぐれた作例である。【前田 正明】
