The Micali Painter
The Micali Painter was named after the late 18th century Italian scholar, Giuseppe Micali, who published the work of this distinctive anonymous Etruscan painter. The Micali Painter worked in Vulci circa 525-480 B.C., where many of the vases were discovered during Napoleonic excavations. The work is renowned for a lively black-figure style, often depicting rushing men, women and satyrs that were most frequently added to neck amphorae, such as the above vase.

Note
After carrying Deianeira, the wife of Heracles, across the river, Nessos attempted to have intercourse with her. Heracles saw this from across the river and shot a Hydra-poisoned arrow into Nessus's breast. As he lay dying, as a final act of malice, Nessus told Deianeira that his blood would ensure that Heracles would be true to her forever, knowing the blood to be infected with the hydra's poison.
Deianeira foolishly believed him. Later, when her trust began to wane because of Iole, she spread the centaur's blood on a robe and gave it to her husband. Heracles went to a gathering of heroes, where his passion got the better of him. Meanwhile, Deianeira accidentally spilled a portion of the centaur's blood onto the floor. To her horror, it began to fume by the light of the rising sun.
