Fourteen descriptions of statues in stone or bronze attributed to Callistratus were probably written in the fourth century CE.$bThis 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. 606 $aPainting$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aPainting, Greco-Roman 606 $aArt$3(OCoLC)815177$2fast 606 $aMythology, Classical$3(OCoLC)1031758$2fast 606 $aMythology, Classical, in art$3(OCoLC)1031768$2fast 606 $aMythology, Greek$3(OCoLC)1031804$2fast 606 $aPainting$3(OCoLC)1050567$2fast 606 $aPainting, Greco-Roman$3(OCoLC)1050861$2fast 615 0$aPainting 615 0$aPainting, Greco-Roman. 615 7$aArt 615 7$aMythology, Classical 615 7$aMythology, Classical, in art 615 7$aMythology, Greek 615 7$aPainting 615 7$aPainting, Greco-Roman 700 $aPhilostratus$cthe Lemnian,$factive 3rd century,$0207827 702 2$aPhilostratus$cthe Athenian,$factive 2nd century-3rd century, 702 2$aCallistratus$factive 3rd century-4th century, 702 $aFairbanks$b Arthur$f1864-1944, 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996208458403316 996 $aImagines$927451 997 $aUNISA
