Mesogeia Painter

The Mesogeia Painter, also Mesogaia Painter, was an Early Proto-Attic vase painter.

Early Proto-Attic hydria by the Mesogeia Painter, note applied plastic snakes on lip, neck and handle, suggesting a use in funerary cult; neck depicts women dancing with a youth, belly a man behind two sphinxes, circa 700 BC, from Athens, now Antikensammlung, Berlin.

His conventional name is derived from his name vases, several hydriai decorated by him and discovered in the Mesogeia. This Early Proto-Attic artist was a contemporary of the Analatos Painter, active in the first quarter of the seventh century BC. It has been suggested that he was a pupil of the Late Geometric Statathou Painter, and the teacher of the High Proto-Attic Polyphemos Painter.
