The Metropolitan Vase Painter (Maya, Late Classic, ca. 600 - 900 C.E.)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Little is known about the the Late Classic period (600 to 900 CE) Maya artist known as the Metropolitan Vase Painter. His name derives from his "magnum opus" vessel at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and he is also commonly referred to as the Metropolitan Master.[1] Vessels of this type are painted in what scholars call the “Codex style” because they resemble the painting of Maya books and manuscripts, and often feature red, white, and black slip.

[1] For more information on the vessel at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, please see the Web Resources section on this page.
