As with any of the artisans working during the fifth century BC, very little is understood about the Amykos Painter's life. It is generally agreed by scholars that the Amykos Painter learned his trade in Athens. He owes his name to a depiction on a Lucanian hydria of Amykos, who was the featured subject in one of his surviving works which currently resides at the Cabinet des Médailles, Paris. There is also a red-figure bell-krater depicting Silenus and two maenads which has been attributed to him.
