EUTHYMIDES


Meaning of EUTHYMIDES in English

flourished , late 6th and early 5th centuries BC Athenian red-figure vase painter, a contemporary and perhaps rival of Euphronius. He is admired for his explorations in foreshortening and for his studies in movement, departures from Archaic convention. Euthymides' signature (as painter) has been found on six vases. An amphora signed by Euthymides representing Revellers is a study in foreshortening and in three-quarters view. Now in the Antikensammlungen at Munich, it dates from c. 510500 BC. In addition to his vase painting it is possible that Euthymides made a small clay plaque for the Athenian Acropolis. It was of a Warrior, painted partly in black-figure, partly in outline. Euthymides was interested in those aspects of painting that were to concern the masters of the Classical period: foreshortening, movement, form, and space.
