Uniform Title: Douris et les peintres des vases grecs. English

Douris is a painter on Greek vases with red figures , active from 500 to 460 BC. AD

It is characterized by a loaded ornamentation and by the diversity of border patterns. The favorite subjects are banquets, komoi (processions of drunk people) or warriors. The favorite kalos name is Khærestratos. Beazley suggests that at that time, Douris could have worked side by side with Onésimos, another great painter of cups of the period. Compared to the latter, Douris favors the grace of his characters.

This is the most characteristic phase of Douris, and its peak. The medallion borders are characterized by the alternation of a meander element and tiles; palmettes decorate the handles of the cup. The preferred kalos name is now Hippodamas; signatures are becoming scarce. Douris returns to banquet scenes, and is also interested in warrior studies and school scenes. The masterpiece of the period is the cup known as the "pietà of Memnon": Eos takes away the body of his son Memnon , killed by Achilles during the Trojan War.
 
Autorenporträt
Edmond François Paul Pottier, an archaeologist and art historian, was regarded as a pioneer in the study of Ancient Greek pottery and was instrumental in the creation of the Corpus vasorum antiquorum. Pottier's father was a civil engineer, and he was born in Saarbrücken, Rhineland. In addition to studying at the École Normale Supérieure and the École d'Athènes, where he completed his thesis on the chronology of Athenian archons, he attended the Lycée Condorcet as a student. He organised the inaugural gathering of the Union Académique Internationale, which sought to compile an exhaustive registry of Greek vases housed in national collections across the globe, while serving as a curator at the Louvre. The Corpus vasorum antiquorum was founded as a consequence in 1919, and Pottier created the first fascicule for the Louvre in 1922. The alias Jacques Morel was the pen name of Pottier's wife, a writer who won the Prix Femina in 1912 for her novel "Feuilles Mortes."
