Euthymides

(flourished c. 515–500 BC, Athens, Greece) Greek vase painter. He was a contemporary of Euphronius. His signature has been found on eight extant vases, six that he signed as a painter and two as a potter. A proponent of red-figure pottery, he was noted for his mastery of foreshortening and studies in movement. The amphora now in Munich's Antiquities Museum showing foreshortened figures in three-quarter view is an outstanding example of his draftsmanship.
