Amasis was considered one of the most famous painters in the Kerameikos "the potters" quarter in Athens during the second half of the sixth century BC. Where he worked in the production of Attic black figure pottery, and he seems to have had the longest career compared to his contemporary painters such as Lydos and Exekias, where he worked for nearly 50 years in the manufacture and decoration of Attic black figure pottery, and his production was abundant. Although Amasis was influenced by his previous pottery painters, but he was able to develop his own style that distinguished him from others. This is what this article reviews by studying some of Amasis' works that highlighted his artistic style and development through his work in the production of pottery vessels.
