Terracotta hydria (water jar)
Herakles and Hebe in the bridal chariot
On the shoulder, fight
The Mastos Painter belongs in the stylistic orbit of the Lysippides Painter, the artist who is believed to have executed the black-figure decoration on bilingual vases for which the Andokides Painter did the red-figure. Onetorides, the youth who is praised as fair on this vase, is known principally from works attributed to Exekias. The hydria, therefore, links several contemporary artistic strands.
