description: "Agatharchus or Agatharch was a self-taught painter from Samos, who lived in the 5th century BC. His father was named Eudemos (Εὔδημος).\nHe is said by Vitruvius to have invented scenic painting, and to have painted a scene for a tragedy which Aeschylus exhibited. Hence some writers, such as Karl Woermann, have supposed that he introduced perspective and illusionism into painting."
