	Lysippus - LoveToKnow 1911
		LYSIPPUS, Greek sculptor, was head of the school of Argos and Sicyon in the time of Philip and Alexander of Macedon.
		Lysippus made many statues of Alexander the Great, and so satisfied his patron, no doubt by idealizing him, that he became the court sculptor of the king, from whom and from whose generals he received many commissions.
		And when the Agias and the Apoxyomenus are set side by side their differences are so striking that it is difficult to attribute them to the same author, though they may belong to the same school.

	Lysippus
		Lysippus is also famous for his Tipsy Girl playing the Flute, and his Hounds and Huntsmen in Pursuit of Game, but most of all for his Chariot with the Sun (Quadriga cum Sole) belonging to Rhodes.
		Lysippus is said to have contributed greatly to the art of bronze statuary by representing the details of the hair and by making his heads smaller than the old sculptors used to do, and his bodies more slender and firm, to give his statues the appearance of greater height.
		Lysippus left three sons who were his pupils, the celebrated artists Laippus,a Boeadas and Euthycrates, the last pre-eminent, although he copied the harmony rather than the eleganee of his father, preferring to win favour in the severely correct more than in the agreeable style.

		This may not be literally true, but it was probably Lysippus who was responsible for the portrait-type of Alexander which shows him as if divinely inspired, his eyes looking upwards and his hair windswept.
		It probably belongs to Lysippus' old age, for it looks forward to the High Hellenistic period with its taste for statues with superhuman bodies; Heracles is shown resting after his exertions with bulging muscles and stretched tendons.

	Lysippus (flourished 4th century BC), Greek sculptor - Old Master Artist
		Lysippus modified the proportions for representations of the human figure as taught by the earlier sculptor Polyclitus.
		In Lysippus's new system the head was reduced in size to one-eighth the height of the complete figure, and the flat frontal pose of the body was discarded in favor of more naturalistic articulation of the torso and the limbs.
		Lysippus is said to have produced 1500 works of sculpture, mostly bronzes, some of large size.

	Tarbell : Lysippus of Sicyon
		With Lysippus of Sicyon we reach the last name of first-rate importance in the history of Greek sculpture.
		He makes the general statement that Lysippus departed from the canon of proportions previously followed (i.e., probably, by Polyclitus and his immediate followers), making the head smaller and the body slenderer and "dryer," and he mentions a statue by him in Rome called an Apoxyomenos, i.e., an athlete scraping himself with a strigil.
		The work, which is only a copy, may go back to an original by Lysippus, though the evidence for that belief, a certain resemblance to the head of the Apoxyomenos, is hardly as convincing as one could desire.

	Lysippus (4th century B.C.)
		LYSIPPUS of Sicyon, in the Peloponnese, was a contemporary of Alexander the Great, who made him his court sculptor, decreeing that no one should paint his portrait but Apelles, and no one should make his statue but Lysippus.
		He was a self-taught workman in bronze; who, by his energy, industry, and original genius became the most famous statuary in bronze of the ancient world.
		Lysippus was the sculptor not of Athene, like Phidias, nor of Aphrodite, like Praxiteles, but pre-eminently of soldiers and athletes.
