EUPHRANOR , of See also:

Corinth (See also:middle of the 4th See also:century B.C.), the only See also:Greek artist who excelled both as a sculptor and as a painter. In See also:Pliny we have lists of his See also:works; among the paintings, a See also:cavalry See also:battle, a See also:Theseus, and the feigned madness of See also:Odysseus; among the statues, See also:Paris, Leto with her See also:children See also:Apollo and See also:Artemis, See also:Philip and See also:Alexander in chariots. Unfortunately we are unable among existing statues to identify any which are copies from works of Euphranor (but see a See also:series of attributions by Six in Jahrbuch, 1909, 7 loll.). He appears to have resembled his contemporary See also:Lysippus, notably in the See also:attention he paid to symmetry, in his preference for bodily forms slighter than those usual in earlier See also:art, and in his love of heroic subjects. He wrote a See also:treatise on proportions.
