TIMANTHES , of Cythnus or See also:

Sicyon, a See also:Greek painter of the 4th See also:century B.C. The most celebrated of his See also:works was a picture representing the See also:sacrifice of Iphigenia, in which he finely depicted the emotions of those who took See also:part in the sacrifice; but despairing of rendering the grief of See also:Agamemnon, he represented him as veiling his See also:face. A See also:painting discovered at See also:Pompeii, and now in the Museum at See also:Naples, has been regarded as a copy or See also:echo of this painting (Helbig, Wandgemalde Campaniens, No. 1304).
