As pottery maker and painter, Euphronios is one of the most well-known artists of his time, as the antiquated Greek pottery with black figures was replaced by innovative ceramics with red figures. As a forerunner in the new technique, Euphronios made several of his works recognisable through his style and his signature. He was inspired by mythological themes, by daily scenes, and by the heroic acts of Hercules, producing many large vases, amphorae, and kraters. Known for the precision of drawing naked and muscular figures, Euphronios sought opportunities to create versatile works of art, and added a hand-written note on his works.
