Eupompus

Eupompus, fl. 4th cent. B.C., Greek painter, founder of the Sicyonic school. The only one of his works of which there is record is A Victor in the Olympic Games.

Eupompus was the founder of the great school of painting which flourished in the 4th century BC at Sicyon in Ancient Greece. He was eclipsed by his successors, and is chiefly remembered for the advice which he is said to have given to Lysippus to follow nature rather than any master.
