The Euergides Painter

Also known as: The Euergides Painter; primary name: Euergides Painter
Details: individual; painter/draughtsman; Greek; Male
Other dates: 510BC-500BC (fl.)
Biography: Athenian red-figure vase-painter whose name is unknown. Nevertheless consistent individual characteristics of style suggest the existence of a unique artistic personality. Beazley called him the Euergides Painter naming him after the potter Euergides (q.v.), several of whose cups he decorated. He also seems to have worked with other potters, specialising primarily in painting cups. In one instance he appears to have collaborated with Epiktetos (q.v.) decorating the outside of a cup. He was extremely prolific and very many vases have been attributed to his hand on the basis of style.
