	Lysippos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lysippos was a Greek sculptor of the 4th century BC.
		During his life Lysippos was the personal sculptor of Alexander the Great.
		Lysippos, along with Skopas and Praxiteles, are considered the three great sculptors of the Classical antiquity era, bringing transition into the Hellenistic era.

	The Art of the Greeks
		Lysippos' ability to express social and political problems through striking sculptural statements in a way that language was unable to do meant that he was soon working for the dynastic propaganda machine of the Macedonians, producing his Alexander with a Lance.
		Lysippos' talent and meticulous technique are evident in the fingers that appear to be sheathed in skin so thin that the joints show through.
		Lysippos was famous for his references to deafness; damage to the ear and poor hearing is implicit in this work, along with a feeling of tiredness, suggested by the abrupt turn of the boxer's head.

	Lysippos of Sikyon/Sicyon
		Lysippos was born at Sikyon around 390 BC.

		For some it is a genuine work of Lysippos.

		Among Lysippan details enumerated by F. Johnson regarding a statue in the Vatican [9], accepted as a copy after Lysippos, are the hands and the rather long and flat feet very carefully made, the neck rather thick with the larynx marked off by grooves, characteristics that apply to our statuette.
		Since Lysippos is credited with major changes in sculpture these surely were in the systems of proportions.
		Lysippos who became Alexander the Great's court sculptor, surely very active in the second half of the 4th century, lived to an old age (probably into the first decade of the 3rd).

		Lysippos was the only sculptor that Alexander the Great would allow to do his portrait.
		Lysippos and his many students set a new style, the tall and slim human proportion that became "standard" in classical sculpture.
		Anyway, it is the similarity of the ears that Lysippos put on Alexander's horse, Bucephalus (from Vous = ox, and Kephali = head, referring to head width/size and not shape) that leads some art historians to their determination that the four St. Mark horses might, just might, be from the Lysippos forge.

		Lysippos gave his figures smaller heads and more slender bodies, giving greater height and elegance to his work, The head became 1\8 of the total height of the figure, where it had been 1\7.
		Lysippos had a strong sense of tradition, but he was also an innovator.
		Lysippos had a fondness for allegory, symbolism and personification, as shown in his Kairos (opportunity).

	Lysippos of Sikyon (Socrates)
		No other work of Lysippos is a better example to reveal his "cryptic" words, "Other artists make men as they are, I make them as they appear", than this one.
		The ugly in characteristics face of Socrates, in the hands of Lysippos, becomes beautiful and humane, projecting fully his personality.
		For him, it is of the outmost importance to give in his works the expression of the face, as it is projected from his soul.

	Greek Sculpture - Part 4
		The fourth century witnessed the decline of state power and the rise of that of the individual; the weakening of supernatural conceptions in religion and a strengthening of naturalistic beliefs; and, finally, a general development in the direction of cosmopolitanism.
		The most distinguished sculptors of this century were Skopas, Praxiteles, and Lysippos, whose styles may be taken roughly as representative of the early, middle, and late portions of the century.
		His departure from the Polykleitan canon, which he is said to have taken as his guide, is strongly marked; his statue, the Apoxyomenos, or athlete scraping himself, embodied a new scheme of proportions.

		Among these influential sculptors, Lysippos tends to separate himself from the crowd—not because of the statues he has left behind, but because of the breadth and depth of interest ancient authors had in him.
		Despite the fact that Lysippos has been the subject of a recent 500-page museum exhibition catalogue, there isn’t a single piece of surviving sculpture that can be attributed to the artist with certainty.
		The sculptor’s defining characteristic was his “subtlety of carving, maintained in even the smallest details.” We are told that Lysippos rendered the hair in greater detail, and that he intentionally made his heads smaller, his bodies slenderer and tauter in order to give his figures the appearance of height.

	Hercules
		The three-dimensional piece of art I chose as the subject of this paper is a 17th century German sculpture of the mythological hero-deity, Hercules.
		The Farnese Hercules in turn is actually a Roman copy of an even older sculpture attributed to Lysippos, a Greek sculptor who lived during the time of Alexander the Great (and in fact made several portrait busts of the Macedonian king).
		All in all, the fine workmanship of this sculpture, the appeal of the material used, and especially the stories by which the figure was inspired (never mind that this was modeled after previous works), make this one piece of art that, provided it were within my price range, I would be proud to own.

		It is the statues of Lysippos which best convey Alexander's physical appearance (and he himself felt it proper that he should be modelled only by Lysippos).
		For it was this artist who captured exactly those distinctive features which many of Alex ander's successors and friends later tried to imitate, namely the poise of the neck turned slightly to the left and the melting glance of the eyes.
		For others, in their eagerness to imitate the turn of his neck and the expressive, liquid glance of his eyes, failed to preserve his manly and leonine quality.

		The Farnese Hercules (in the Villa Farnese) is a Roman copy of a Greek Sculpture, thought to be the work of Lysippus (I've also seen Lysippos) or one of his followers.
		The copy is signed "Glykon" ("the Athenian Glykon,") the name of a Greek scupture studio in Rome at the time -- the third century B.C. -- who had a sculpture studio, so the piece was made in that studio, but the person or people who made the copy in that studio.
		The lost original was bronze; the existing statue was unearthed in in 1546 in the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla -- "Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between 212 and 216 CE, during the reign of the Emperor Caracalla."

		Many art historians believe that this herm is closely modeled on one of the portraits of Alexander by the great contemporary sculptor, Lysippos.
		According to Plutarch, Alexander believed that the statues of Lysippos best conveyed Alexander’s physical appearance and so he decided that he should be sculpted only by Lysippos.
		This story encourages us to consider what the function of an ancient portrait was and how ancient thinkers and artists constituted identity and image.
