Fourteen descriptions of statues in stone or bronze attributed to Callistratus were probably written in the fourth century CE.This volume presents kindred works important for evidence relating to late Greek art. They are attributed to two men each known as Philostratus and to a third man called Callistratus, otherwise unknown. To an elder Philostratus, the Lemnian, born ca. 190 CE, junior kinsman of the Philostratus who wrote the Life of Apollonius of Tyana and Lives of the Sophists, is attributed the series of 65 Eikones or Imagines--descriptions (in two books) ostensibly of paintings in a gallery at Naples. A younger Philostratus, apparently his grandson, is credited with 17 similar descriptions. The 14 Ekphraseis attributed to Callistratus are descriptions of statues in stone or bronze, written probably in the fourth century CE. It is not known to what extent the descriptions are of real works of art, but they show how artists treated their subjects, and are written with some artistic knowledge. Yet rhetorical skill dominates: these pieces were written to display the writers' powers of description.PaintingEarly works to 1800Painting, Greco-RomanArt(OCoLC)815177fastMythology, Classical(OCoLC)1031758fastMythology, Classical, in art(OCoLC)1031768fastMythology, Greek(OCoLC)1031804fastPainting(OCoLC)1050567fastPainting, Greco-Roman(OCoLC)1050861fastPaintingPainting, Greco-Roman.ArtMythology, ClassicalMythology, Classical, in artMythology, GreekPaintingPainting, Greco-RomanPhilostratusthe Lemnian,active 3rd century,207827Philostratusthe Athenian,active 2nd century-3rd century,Callistratusactive 3rd century-4th century,Fairbanks Arthur1864-1944,MaCbHUPTLCBOOK996208458403316Imagines27451UNISA
