Antiphilus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antiphilus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίφιλος) was an ancient Greek painter from Naucratis,[1][2] Egypt, in the age of Alexander the Great. He worked for Philip II of Macedon and Ptolemy I of Egypt. Thus, he was a contemporary of Apelles, whose rival he is said to have been, but he seems to have worked in quite another style. Quintilian speaks of his facility: the descriptions of his works which have come down to us show that he excelled in light and shade, in genre representations, and in caricature.[3]
