He was of the Leagros Group and painted primarily lekythoi and oinochoai as well as the newly introduced olpe. His work is characterised by a highly developed sense of colour and a good hand for detail.
Haspels gave him the name of Daybreak Painter after his lekythos which depicted the god Helios emerging from the sea.[1]
