The most important painter of the first is the Schiller Painter, of the second the Hoppin Painter and of the third the Painter of Karlsruhe B9 and the Dijon Painter. His succession is represented by three separate schools, each clearly influenced by him. There appears to be an especially close relationship between the work of the Tarporley Painter and that of the Dolon Painter, perhaps they cooperated directly for some time. His work includes the first known phlyax vase, showing the punishment of a thief, accompanied by a metric verse inscription. He painted especially on bell kraters, on which he often depicted dionysiac themes and theatrical scenes. Over time, his drawing style becomes more fluid, but also less precise.
The spaces between his figures are often filled with flowers, branches or vines. His heads are often oval and lean forwards. He painted garments in a less balanced style then the Sisyphus Painter. He is considered to have been the pupil and successor of the Sisyphus Painter, as indicated by his elegant fine-limbed figures and the solemn facial expressions of his woman and cloaked youths.
The Tarporley Painter is his period's most important representative of the so-called "Plain Style". His works date to the first quarter of the 4th century BC. The Tarporley Painter was a Greek Apulian red-figure vase painter.
