Also known as Antiphilos

Antiphilus () was an ancient Greek painter from Naucratis, 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.

Антифил из Египта (2-я пол. IV в. до н. э.) — древнегреческий художник, ученик . Работал при дворе египетских царей Птолемеев. Написал картины «Александр Македонский — мальчик», «Александр, Филипп и Афина», «Гриллы» (соединение черт человеческого лица с чертами животного), «Мальчик, раздувающий огонь», «Мастерская пряжи» и другие (все известны только по описаниям). Описания его работ, дошедших до нас, показывают, что он преуспел в свете и тени, в жанровых представлениях и в карикатурах.
