Pamphilus (painter)

Pamphilus of Amphipolis (Ancient Greek: Πάμφιλος, fourth century BC) was a Macedonian[1] painter and head of Sicyonian school.

Under his influence painting became a regular part of Greek classical education,[2] and a number of his pupils went on to become well-known painters.

[3] Of his own works we have mostly scanty accounts; but he was well known and respected as a teacher of his style of art.

Among those who paid price for his tuition were Melanthius, Pausias and Apelles[4] the painter of Alexander the Great.
