Context: 
The Lysippides Painter worked in both black- and red-figure, sometimes incorporating both styles on one vase. Vases with this unique combination are called bilingual. He followed the grand style of Exekias, the greatest of black figure painters. Although the Lysippides Painter's style is somewhat more conservative than Exekias's, it still retains an elegance and delicacy inspired by the great master.Side A: Warriors in a fightSide B: Dionysus and satyrs
