LYSIPPUS
, See also:Greek sculptor, was See also:head of the school of See also:Argos and See also:Sicyon in the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time of See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip and See also:Alexander of Macedon
.
His See also:works are said to have numbered 1500, some of them See also:colossal
.
Some accounts make him the continuer of the school of See also:Polyclitus; some represent him as self-taught
.
The See also:matter in which he especially innovated was the proportions of the malehuman See also:body; he made the head smaller than his predecessors, the body more slender and hard, so as to give the impression of greater height
.
He also took See also:great pains with See also:hair and other details
.
See also:Pliny (N.H
.
34, 61) and other writers mention many of his statues
.
Among the gods he seems to have produced new and striking types of See also:Zeus (probably of the Otricoli class), of See also:Poseidon (compare the Poseidon of the Lateran, See also:standing with raised See also:foot), of the See also:Sun-See also:god and others; many of these were colossal figures in See also:bronze
.
Among heroes he was specially attracted by the mighty physique of See also:Hercules
.
The Hercules See also:Farnese of See also:Naples, though signed by Glycon of See also:Athens, and a later and exaggerated transcript, owes something, including the See also:motive of See also:rest after labour, to Lysippus
.
Lysippus made many statues of Alexander the Great, and so satisfied his See also:patron, no doubt by idealizing him, that he became the See also:court sculptor of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king, from whom and from whose generals he received many commissions
.
The extant portraits of Alexander vary greatly, and it is impossible to determine which among them go back to Lysippus
.
The remarkable head from See also:Alexandria (See also:Plate II. fig
.
56, in GREEK See also:ART) has as See also:good a claim as any
.
As head of the great athletic school of Peloponnese Lysippus naturally sculptured many athletes; a figure by him of a See also:man scraping himself with a strigil was a great favourite of the See also:Romans in the time of Tiberius (Pliny, N.H
.
34, 61); and this has been usually regarded as the See also:original copied in the Apoxyomenus of the Vatican (GREEK ART, Plate VI. fig
.
79)
.
If so, the copyist has modernized his copy, for some features of the Apoxyomenus belong to the Hellenistic See also:age
.
With more certainty we may see a copy of an See also:athlete by Lysippus in the statue of Agias found at See also:Delphi (GREEK ART, Plate V. fig
.
74), which is proved by See also:inscriptions to be a replica in See also:marble of a bronze statue set up by Lysippus in See also:Thessaly
.
And when the Agias and the Apoxyomenus are set See also:side by side their See also:differences are so striking that it is difficult to attribute them to the same author, though they may belong to the same school
