Euphronios (painter) and Euxitheos (potter)

Description
The Death of Sarpedon c. 515 BCE. Red-figure decoration on a calyx krater. Ceramic, height of krater 18" (45.7 cm). Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia, Rome.

Euphronios
The death of Sarpedon is rendered on a calyx krater and would have been used as a punchbowl during a symposium.

In this scene, there is a balanced composition of verticals and horizontals that flatter the shape of the vessel.
Elaborate details and the impression of real space convey a sense of pathos in the viewer.
