Their work is distinctive for its simple rendering of dress, bold handling of anatomy, experimental use of foreshortening and a thematic preference for representations of symposia. As a group, their work makes frequent reference to one another, often in a playful competitive spirit Euthymides boasts on one of his signed pots (Munich 2307): hos oudepote Euphronios ("as never Euphronios"). Then, in 2014, the TPC announced the creation of iTPC, a free-to-download app available in Italian and English. The Pioneer Group were not innovators of the red-figure technique but rather late adopters of the practice developed by bilingual vase painters such as Andokides and Psiax, who produced pottery featuring both the black-figure and red-figure techniques.Ĭoming some ten years after the earliest work in red-figure style, Euphronios' first works are thought to have been produced circa 520 BC. As part of the so-called 'Pioneer Group,' (a modern name given to a group of vase painters who were instrumental in effecting the change from black-figure to red-figure. He was active between 500 and 475 BC in Athens as a painter of the red-figure style in the largest workshop of the 5th century. 535 after 470 BC) was an ancient Greek vase painter and potter, active in Athens in the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC. He owes his name to a double Kalos inscription of Antiphon on the dinos stand in the Antique collection of Berlin (Inventory number F 2325). No documentary evidence remains of the artists, and everything we know about them was deduced from their surviving work. The Antiphon Painter was an Athenian vase painter of the early 5th century BC. Described by the British art historian John Boardman as perhaps the first conscious art movement in the western tradition, historians had included a number of artists in the group, including Epiktetos, Euphronios, Euthymides, Oltos, Phintias, Smikros, Hypsis, and the Dikaios Painter.Īrchaeologist John Beazley was the first to identify these artists as a coherent group in his works published in the 1940s, in which he developed a taxonomy of ancient Greek pottery by style.
