What are the new attitudes and techniques in representation of the human form, based on the Euphronios krater?

What will be an ideal response?

The Euphronios krater was made by the potter Euxitheos around 515 BCE and painted by Euphronios. Euphronios was praised especially for his ability to render human anatomy accurately. The naturalism of the scene, however, is not the source of its appeal. Rather, its perfectly balanced composition transforms the tragedy into a rare depiction of death as an instance of dignity and order. The spears of the two warriors left and right mirror the edge of the vase, the design formed by Sarpedon’s stomach muscles is echoed in the decorative bands both top and bottom, and the handles of the vase mirror the arching backs of Hypnos and Thanatos.
