The Athenian red-figure vase painter now known as the Nausicaa Painter is named after the subject of an amphora he painted, now in Munich, showing Odysseus and Nausicaa. He is considered a major vase painter of the mid-5th century BC. Very many vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style.

Formerly a Belgian private collection.
