Onesimos was an ancientAthenian vase painter who flourished c. 500–480 BC. He specialized in decorating cups, mostly ofType B, which comprise virtually all known examples of his work.

Like many of his fellowred-figure painters, Onesimos emphasized realistically rendered, active figures, and depicted tableaux drawn from daily life as well as scenes from mythology. A number of the pieces painted by Onesimos bear the signature ofEuphronios as potter. In light of this evidence of the two artists' close collaboration, as well as similarities in their painting styles, many researchers believe that Onesimos learned his trade as Euphronios's pupil. Similarly, the works of the laterAntiphon Painter bear a close stylistic resemblance to those of Onesimos, suggesting that Onesimos may have served as a teacher in his own right.

Onesimos is the topic of a doctoral monograph by Dr. Ollie Croker of the University of Oxford.^[1]
