About this book
Douris and the Painters of Greek Vases is a book by Edmond Pottier. A preface says its writer was asked to write a few words on the relation of Greek vase-painting to Greek literature and to Greek mythology. The text says a Greek vase-painter does not illustrate mythology, but utters it in line and colour as the poet utters it in words and rhythm.
The text points to a kylix in the Louvre by Douris, in the centre of which is painted Eos carrying the body of Memnon. The text says that about the time of Douris, in the workshop of one of his rivals, Brygos, who may have been a little younger, attempts were made to heighten the effect of the red figures by a little gilding. The text names, among others, the compositions The Youth and the Hare and The Interior of a School.
