	Polykleitos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Next to famous Phidias, Myron and Kresilas, he is the most important sculptor of Classical antiquity: the fourth-century catalogue attributed to Xenocrates (the "Xenocratic catalogue"), which was Pliny's guide in matters of art, ranked him between Phidias and Myron (Stewart).
		He was of the school of Argos, a contemporary of Phidias and in the opinion of the Greeks his equal.
		He made a figure of an Amazon for Ephesus which was regarded as superior to the Amazon of Phidias and Kresilas made at the same time; and his colossal Hera of gold and ivory which stood in her temple, the Heraion of Argos was ranked with the Zeus of Phidias.

		1.28.2), which scholars have tried to connect with Kresilas’ portrait (Athens EM 6258 is a fragmentary statue base from the Athenian Acropolis that is signed by Kresilas, and has been unconvincingly connected with the portrait of Pericles).
		This portrait type is idealizing: it shows Pericles with a trim, curly beard, mustache, and lush, curly hair emerging from beneath his Corinthian helmet, which is tilted back on his head.
		The image evoked by these copies matches the overall appearance of Pericles noted by ancient writers: he was described as austere and aristocratic and his appearance was compared to that of the tyrant Pisistratus (Plut.

		is not concerned with the attribution of the statue to Kresilas, but with the identification of the figure as Diomedes.
		He begins by discussing the statue type, the reconstruction of the original bronze, and its identification as the Greek hero.

	The Aesthetics of Emulation in the Visual Arts of Ancient Rome - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Still others have suggested that visual repetition, whether in ideal sculpture or in other genres such as portraiture, was a conscious strategy employed by Roman patrons toward various ends that often had nothing to do with the appreciation for and reproduction of Greek masterpieces.
		Reflecting on the remarkably few surviving copies of a portrait of Perikles generally attributed to Kresilas (Figure 3), Ridgway has remarked that these replicas “seem few indeed compared with the mass of Demosthenes replicas.
		Kresilas, if the statue copied is truly by him, should have been more famous than an early Hellenistic artist by whom nothing else is known; it was therefore not the fame of the respective sculptors but the importance of the subject to the Romans which determined demand and consequent production.”

	The Greek Example
		The original statue of Pericles was probably done shortly after Pericles' death in 429 BCE and was created by the sculptor Kresilas.
		So it is less Pericles' distinctness and more of how he conforms to the ideal or expectations of what a strategos should be.
		The Roman writer Pliny in describing the Kresilas "portrait" characterized it as "the Olympian Pericles," or in other words how Pericles reflects the Greek conception of their gods.

		The statue might represent him descending from the ship, ready to meet his fate.
		Following the discovery of a wound carved in the right armpit, the figure was reinterpreted as a dying warrior falling backward and identified as a famous statue by the sculptor Kresilas.
		Many other identifications have been suggested to explain the unusual stance and the unique iconography of this statue and of the copy in London, but none has been generally accepted.

		Ancient sources tell of a sculptural contest held in 450 BCE which invited sculptors to display bronze representations of the Amazons
		The best four statues were by Pheidias, Polycleitus, Kresilas and Phradmon and were later used to decorate the pediment of the 6th century temple
		Certainly another reason for its inclusion on the list of wonders was its sheer longevity.

		He just wore a hoplite helmet, morning noon and night.
		I know this because I have just bought, from the British Museum's magnificent shop, the last plaster cast of the 2nd-century Roman copy of the 5th-century BC bust of Pericles by Kresilas.
		It weighs 23.5kg and is totally fab, if you ignore a few blue crayon marks, which enabled me to knock a few quid off.
