The Persephone Painter, working from about 475 to 425 BCE, is the pseudonym of an ancient Attic Greek vase painter, named by Sir John Beazley after a red-figure bell-krater of about 440 BC showing the return of Persephone from Hades, a vase now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum also holds a terracotta calyx-krater, a bowl for mixing wine and water, made about 440 BCE and given by Amelia E. White in 1941, which it credits to him. The atlas records him as the named painter of that krater, listed in the divinity atlas among its mythological images.
