A CultureGrrl reader of Greek heritage, with a passion for Greek art (and for anonymity), correctly urged me to point out another crucial difference, in addition to size and subject matter, between the Euphronios ceramic that is still in the Getty Museum’s collection and the one recently relinquished by the Metropolitan Museum to Italy:
For the Getty’s, as I previously stated, the potter was thought to be Euphronios and the painter, Onesimos. For the Met’s, Euphronios was the painter and the potter was Euxitheos.
“In the latter part of his career,” my correspondent tells me, “Euphronios did not paint but made pots for other painters such as Onesimos.”
