Alongside the Altenburg painter, the Läufer painter is considered to be the most important representative of the Fikellura style and the most important representative of the Läufer group . It got its emergency name from the depiction of a single running man on a bulbous neck amphora . Under the handles it was adorned with a large volute . A stylistically advanced vase (now in Oxford ) shows a running hare.
