Name
The painter of Euphelet was named so because of the registered vase , which is currently in the British Museum , which shows Athena holding a shield. On the shield are the words: “EUPHILETOS KALOS”, which means “Euphileus is beautiful.”
Creativity
His works are expertly executed, the best and most famous are his famous Panathenaic amphorae . They show the chronological development, formed under the influence of the red-figure style, which began to become popular during the life of the artist. If in the early works of the vase-painter of Euphylet there are athletes depicted in unrealistic poses, the quality of his works has improved significantly due to increased control over internal details. Improvements are especially visible in the images of man and in the drawings of shields. His other works, besides amphorae, turn out to be not so high-quality; in these works, a popular plot is often found - chariot racing. Most of his vases, not related to prize amphorae, date from 520 BC. e., however, some parts of the vases could be created later (or earlier) for 20 years. He worked together with the potter Pamphay.
