  1. Euphronios By Jake Tommey

  2. Herakles and the Amazons • Volute Krater • Late example of his work • Unsigned • Amazonomachy • c.510-500 bc

  3. Party/dancing (komastes) Contrasts with The battle May have Been Assistant Smikros Symmetry In Fallen amazons Telemon delivering killing blow Foreshortened foot Black bow To make it Stand out against figures Teisipyle Herakles attributes Overlapping to show depth

  4. Main features All figures in profile Detailed anatomy (Herakles bicep) Use of overlapping and foreshortening (Amazon's foot) Dynamic poses Use of paint (black bow and outlines) Symmetries (Herakles and Telemon form a 'X' doing the same movement) Twists in muscles (Telemons legs and Herakles abdominal) Brush strokes in Phrygian clothin Correct eyes

  5. What Sue says “The composition on the body is rich and complicated” “her forward foot impressively foreshortened.” “The scene is filled with action, large vigorous figures, dramatic fore shortenings, and complex patterns echoed, mirrored or reflected.” “In terms of drawing and composition, it is masterly” “as decoration on the surface of a vase it is perhaps less satisfying than the primative figures and simple patterns”
