The Eucharides painter was a pupil of the Nikoxenos painter ; both painters are seldom equated. He initially worked in the black-figure style, but changed in the early 5th century BC. Like his teacher to the new red-figure style. He made several of his vases bilingually . Along with the Cleophrades Painter, he is considered the last artisan of the old style to decorate larger vases with good quality. He worked in the red-figure style until the 470s. Here he mainly painted newer forms of vessels such as the neck amphora , stamnoi and the colonette crater , which was experiencing a renaissance. His best pictures can be found on calyx craters . There, like his master, he applies the figure scenes both on the lower, curved zone of the vase and on the straight sides. His style is angular and appears abrupt. The thick, round earlobes of his figures are particularly striking.
