To Professor Percy -Gardner I am particularly indebted for valuable advice and for his -kindness in writing a preface to the volume; to Miss C. A.

As an -undergraduate, twenty years ago, Guy Dickins gave up his intention -of entering the Indian Civil Service in order to devote himself to -the study of Classical Archaeology, an allegiance from which he never -swerved. In 1904 he went as Craven Fellow to the British School of -Athens, and for five years lived mostly in Greece, studying and -exploring. In 1909 he returned to Oxford as a Fellow of St. John’s -College, and Lecturer in Ancient History. In 1914 he was appointed -University Lecturer in Classical Archaeology; but before he could take -up the duties of the post the great call came, and he obeyed it at -once. A most efficient and able company commander, he served in the -King’s Royal Rifle Corps. In July 1916 he died of wounds received in -the battle of the Somme. - -Before the war Dickins had been occupied in tasks of research, and in -preparation for a teaching career. He had published several papers, -and a volume of the catalogue of the Acropolis Museum. He had visited -most of the museums of Europe, and brought back a large collection of -photographs, which his widow has presented to the Ashmolean Museum. -He was especially interested in Greek sculpture, and had intended -to collect materials for a history of art in the Hellenistic Age, -a subject which has been neglected, but which is of the greatest -importance. Several of his papers, such as those on the followers of -Praxiteles and on Damophon of Messene, show in what direction his mind -was working, though at the same time he was ready to take part in all -the projects and the excavations of the School of Athens. - -The present volume, alas, is the only fruit which the study of -antiquity is likely to reap from such continued and thorough -preparation. Every reader will regret that it was not written on a -far larger scale. But it was planned as part of a complete history of -ancient sculpture. No doubt, had he lived, Dickins would have rewritten -it in a more complete form. But as it stands it is far too valuable to -lose, full of suggestion, and pointing the way to important lines of -discovery. In my opinion it contains the best that has been written on -the subject; and one rises from the reading of it with a keen regret -that the author could not bring his harvest to completion. - -Dickins possessed in a high degree two qualities necessary for the best -work in archaeology. He was distinctly original, always preferring to -look at things in a light not borrowed from books or teachers but his -own. And he was at the same time of cool judgement and strong in common -sense. One of his fellow officers told me that whenever he was in doubt -as to the course to be followed in attack or defence he consulted -Dickins, and accepted his advice. He did not, like many young -archaeologists, delight in starting brilliant hypotheses; but was ever -content in coming nearer to the truth, and setting it forth in orderly -and sober fashion. Such qualities would have made him an invaluable -factor in the teaching of archaeology in England. I am told that the -undergraduates of his college always felt that he set before them a -high standard, and had no sympathy with anything which was pretentious -or meretricious. The same qualities appeared in two or three courses of -lectures on recent excavation, which he gave at the Ashmolean Museum. - -I add as an appendix a list of Dickins’s published works, with a -summary of their purpose and contents. They are not great in extent; -he was not a rapid worker; but every one of them is worthy of careful -reading, and does something to advance our knowledge of Greek art and -ancient life. - - PERCY GARDNER. - - - - -CONTENTS - - - PAGE - PREFACE vii - - I.

The period is a long one, lasting from the -death of Alexander to the Roman absorption of the Hellenistic kingdoms, -i.e. from about 320 to later than 100 B.C. The lowest limit is marked -by the Laocoon group, and the fact that some critics have seen in that -wonderful monument the climax of Greek art may make us pause in a hasty -generalization. The decadence of the Hellenistic age is due simply to -its exaggeration of certain tendencies already present in the fourth -century, tendencies which accompany the inevitable development of all -art gradually away from the ideal and gradually closer to realistic -imitation of nature. As long as the technical skill of the Hellenistic -artist shows no sign of abating, it is unfair and untrue to call -his work decadent. The term is only justly applicable when loss of -idealism or growth of frivolity in subject is accompanied by a decline -in execution, by a want of thoroughness, and by a desire to shirk -difficulties. - -It is true to say that Greek art on the mainland enters on a period of -decadence in the third century, for its execution and expression grow -steadily worse after 250 B.C., but it is interesting to note that it -reverts to a greater idealism. The last great artist of the mainland, -Damophon of Messene, might have been a member of the school of Pheidias -save for an inadequate mastery of the chisel. - -On the other hand, the schools of Pergamon, Alexandria, and Rhodes show -no falling off in technical skill as long as they remain independent -of Rome. Even their idealism does not wholly decline, for the Gallic -victories of Attalos and Eumenes brought about an idealist revival in -Pergamene art associated with the decoration of the great altar. Rhodes -remained ever wedded to the athletic ideal. Alexandria delighted most -in scenes of _genre_ and realistic imitations of nature. But all turned -out work of marvellous quality, and it is mainly a vagary of fashion -in criticism that now induces so many authorities to label as decadent -wonderful masterpieces of sculpture like the Victory of Samothrace, -the kneeling boy of Subiaco, or the Silenos with the young Dionysos. -Works so full of human nature and so rich in sympathy may well claim -to replace by their romantic appeal the classical feeling of the fifth -century. It is only when romance becomes sentimentality that it meets -with just condemnation. - -The outstanding feature of the history of Greek sculpture during the -Hellenistic period is the transference of its vital centres from the -mainland to the new kingdoms of the Diadochi on the east and south and -to the great new free state of Rhodes. The chief cause was an economic -one. Alexander’s campaigns brought about a revival of prosperity and -wealth in the Greek world, but among his friends and not among his -enemies. Athens was always his enemy and the enemy of his Macedonian -successors. Consequently during the whole period from the death of -Alexander to the Roman conquest Athens was either under Macedonian rule -or in danger of Macedonian attack. It was Macedonian policy to keep her -weak and isolated, and her trading supremacy began to be transferred -to the island of Delos. The great days of Attic art passed with the -death of Praxiteles and the coming of Alexander. In the Peloponnese the -pupils of Lysippos carried on into the third century the traditions of -the Sikyonian school, but we can see from such knowledge as we possess -of their activities that the wealth and fame of the new kingdoms were -already calling the artists to abandon the impoverished towns of the -mainland. The Peloponnese also opposed Alexander and his successors, -and Macedonian garrisons held the chief fortresses of the country. We -find Eutychides of Sikyon working for Antioch, and Chares working at -Lindos in Rhodes. After the date given for the pupils of Lysippos in -296 B.C., Pliny makes the following significant statement: ‘cessavit -deinde ars, ac rursus Olympiade CLVI (156 B.C.) revixit.’[1] For 150 -years the history of artistic development must be studied on the -eastern side of the Aegean. - -After the preliminary conflicts between the successors of Alexander -for the partition of the empire a number of new states arose, which -are known to us usually as the kingdoms of the Diadochi or Successors. -Of these the three most important were Macedonia, Syria, and Egypt, -under the rule of Antigonids, Seleucids, and Ptolemies respectively. -Of smaller importance, but quite independent and self-sustaining, were -Bithynia, Pergamon, and the island republic of Rhodes, the latter being -the only one which maintained its Hellenic democratic institutions. -The attitude of these states towards art differs remarkably. Macedonia -remained always a military monarchy in a condition of almost constant -frontier war, and was wholly uninterested in artistic developments. -Syria seems from the first to have fallen under Semitic and oriental -influences, which destroyed its appreciation of the purer forms of -Greek art. Bithynia, Pontos, and Cappadocia were barbarian rather -than Greek. As a result, we find that the old artistic traditions are -maintained prominently in three only of the new states: Pergamon, -the home of the very Hellenic race of the Attalids; Rhodes, whose -pure Hellenic descent was untouched; and Alexandria, which became -practically a Greek town in the midst of an older Egyptian civilization. - -The kingdom of Pergamon included the area of the old Ionian cities, -and inherited, therefore, an artistic tradition as old as its own -existence. It is no matter for surprise that its art-loving monarchs -should have founded a great library and a great school of sculpture in -open rivalry with the richer resources of Ptolemaic Alexandria. The -art of Pergamon is well known to us from the magnificent groups and -figures of the Gallic dedications of Attalos I after his victories -about 240 B.C., and from the marvellous frieze of the altar excavated -_in situ_ by the Germans, which belongs to the period of Eumenes -II and the early second century. But before we come to these later -developments of Pergamene art, it is important that we should discover -the earliest tendencies and predilections of the Pergamene court in -the first half of the third century. We are told[2] that the most -remarkable work of Kephisodotos, the son of Praxiteles, was his -‘symplegma’ at Pergamon--probably an erotic group--which was noteworthy -for its extraordinarily naturalistic rendering of the pressure of -the fingers into the flesh. Such erotic groups of nymphs and satyrs -or hermaphrodites exist in our museums, and are ultimately derived -from this type of statue. Actual discoveries at Pergamon support -this conception of early third-century Pergamene art. The well-known -Hermaphrodite in Constantinople (Fig. 1) and a beautiful girl’s head -in Berlin[3] show the extreme delicacy in the rendering of flesh and -the fondness for a sensual body treatment which we might expect from an -Ionian version of the schools of Scopas and Praxiteles. The existence -of such a school in Ionia in the late fourth century is highly -probable. The Pergamene school of the early third century would seem to -be the later natural development of the creators of the Ephesos columns -and the Niobids. Scopaic expression and Praxitelean flesh treatment -are the hall-marks of the school. Another work of importance for the -early Pergamene period is the Crouching Aphrodite type, so popular -in Roman times. Of this statue Pliny tells us: ‘Venerem lavantem se -Daedalus fecit.’[4] This Daedalus was a Bithynian artist of the early -third century, who must have fallen under the general influence of the -prevalent Pergamene school. His Aphrodite[5] shows exactly the artistic -tendencies of the early Pergamene school. The motive is unimportant and -frivolous--a _genre_ motive of a girl washing herself--but it is used -for the purpose of demonstrating the technical skill of the artist in -displaying the nude female form. The artist does not use all his skill -in the effort to produce a noble or even a romantic ideal. The subject -is immaterial, provided it affords a chance of showing his technical -skill. The crouching attitude is a new one in art, and one well adapted -for exhibiting the human body in all its variety. It appears again in -the Attalid dedications, and was evidently a favourite at Pergamon. -Another example is in the well-known Knife-Grinder of the Uffizi,[6] -part of a great group of Marsyas, Apollo, and the Scythian slave, -which we can certainly connect with this period of Pergamene art. The -Knife-Grinder himself is a copy and not an original. That is made clear -by his late plinth, in spite of his magnificent workmanship. But the -finer copies of the hanging Marsyas, which belongs to the group, are -in a Phrygian marble, betraying their Pergamene origin. These copies -of the Marsyas are divided into two types: a so-called ‘red’ type -(Fig. 2), made of the Phrygian marble, in which the expression of -agony is more marked, and a white type[7] in which the face is less -distorted. A theory has been put forward that the white type represents -an early third-century prototype, while the red type is a Pergamene -variation of rather later date.[8] We may, however, hesitate to see -sufficient difference in the two types to make so wide a distinction. -The white type may be merely a less masterly adaptation of the red. -An Apollo torso[9] in Berlin from Pergamon with the right hand -resting on the head agrees with a marble disc in Dresden[10] showing -a similar figure confronted by the hanging Marsyas. We may therefore -associate this figure as the third member of the group with Marsyas -and the Knife-Grinder.[11] The Apollo is a seated figure of distinctly -Praxitelean influence. The keen expression of the Knife-Grinder and -the agonized face of the Marsyas may equally well be attributed to -Scopaic teaching. We have a good example of this mixed tradition in -early Pergamene art. Technically we are at once compelled to notice the -immense advance in realism and anatomical study. The hanging Marsyas -shows a correct appreciation of the effects of such a posture on -swollen veins and strained abdomen. The corner of the mouth is drawn up -in agony; the forehead is corrugated with rows of wrinkles; the hair, -even on the chest, is matted with perspiration. One would say that so -remarkable a statue could only be studied from nature, and one recalls -the stories of Parrhasios, who is said to have used an actual model -for his Prometheus Bound.[12] We are long past the time when sculptors -worked from memory. Even Praxiteles was said to have made his Cnidian -goddess with Phryne as a model. In the Knife-Grinder we may perhaps -detect some of the earliest traces of that exaggeration of the muscles -which will so soon affect athletic art. - -One of the most important of the Pergamon finds was the little bronze -satyr,[13] which has enabled us to associate with Pergamon a whole -host of satyr types of more or less similar style. The Dancing Satyr -of Pompeii (Fig. 3) and Athens, the Satyr of the Uffizi clashing -cymbals,[14] with its replica in Dresden, and the Satyr turning round -to examine his tail[15] are all variants of the new artistic cult of -the satyr, a cult which seems to have had a Pergamene origin.[16] -The satyr gave to the Pergamene artist just that opportunity for the -display of wild and somewhat sensual enthusiasm which he wanted, -for new and original poses, and for combination with his nymphs and -bacchanals. In Phrygia especially orgiastic manifestations of religion -were the regular practice, and dancing was both wild and universal. The -new artistic conceptions show the clear influence of this spirit on the -more restrained art of the fourth-century schools. The Dancing Maenad -of Berlin,[17] the Aphrodite Kallipygos of Naples,[18] and the famous -Sleeping Hermaphrodite[19] are further examples of the marvellous flesh -treatment and the wild frenzy of movement which we learn to associate -with third-century Pergamene art. - -Apart from the general spirit of Pergamene work there are several -definite technical peculiarities which enable us to postulate a -Pergamene origin for many unclassed works of the Hellenistic age. -These can be gathered from the definitely Pergamene Gallic statues, -which we have yet to discuss, and from the satyr types already -mentioned. One is the hair tossed up off the forehead and falling in -lank matted locks of wild disordered type. The eyebrows are usually -straight and shaggy, with a heavy bulge of the frontal sinus over the -nose. The cheekbones are prominent, and the lips thick and parted. In -the body the most marked feature is the desire to get away from the -old-fashioned straight plane for the front of the torso. The lower part -of the chest usually projects strongly, while the waist is drawn in, so -that the profile of the torso is shaped like a very obtuse _z_. In the -female body there is a general affection for rather heavy forms with -a good envelope of flesh. The artist’s skill is here devoted mainly -to the delineation of surface. The heads of such female figures as -we can attribute to Pergamene art show very little expression. The -hair is done on the Praxitelean model, but the locks tend to become -more rope-like and twisted as time goes on. We cannot point to any -great peculiarities in the Pergamene treatment of women. Neither -Lysippos nor Scopas seems to have had much effect on the feminine -types of Greek sculpture. The whole Hellenistic age is in servitude to -Praxitelean ideals of women whether in Alexandria, Rhodes, or Pergamon. -The differences are only in the details of execution, the Pergamenes -tending always towards clear cutting of hair and features, while the -Alexandrines preferred an impressionist smoothing away of all sharp -edges. - -[Illustration: 3] - -[Illustration: 4] - -We come now to the two great dedications of Attalos for his victories -over the Gauls.[20] These were made at some time later than 241 B.C., -and consist of two series of statues. One is life-size or larger, -and is represented by some of the best-known examples of Hellenistic -sculpture, such as the Dying Gaul[21] and the Ludovisi group of a -Gaul slaying his wife and himself (Fig. 4). The other consisted of a -number of small figures about three feet high, and was dedicated by -Attalos in Athens, where they stood on the parapet of the south wall -of the Acropolis. Four battle-groups were included--a gigantomachy, an -Amazonomachy, a battle of Greeks and Persians, and a battle of Greeks -and Gauls. Several copies from this smaller group are in existence, -the best known being in Naples.[22] The originals of both groups were -probably in bronze, and we have the names of some of the artists of -the larger group, Phyromachos, Antigonos, and Epigonos or Isigonos. -Stratonicos and Niceratos of Athens may also have taken part.[23] - -These works all deserve careful study, as they differ in many ways from -the rather sensual and ecstatic art which we know to have preceded -them, and the very _baroque_ and exaggerated art which followed them -in the next century on the great altar. Eumenes and Attalos had to -fight for their lives against the Gauls, and a temporary return to an -austerer and less luxurious art would be a not unnatural result of the -great war. We certainly find in the treatment of the Amazons or of -the wife of the Ludovisi Gaul no such insistence on sexual detail as -marks the earlier studies of the feminine form, and the expression of -the male figures is distinguished by more ideal emotions of courage -or resignation than the frenzy of the satyrs and the passions of the -later gods and giants. The Attalid dedications show some _bravura_ of -pose; the Ludovisi Gaul is a little histrionic in his attitude; but as -a whole they are sober and restrained sculpture, when compared with -the satyrs on the one hand and the altar frieze on the other. In that -sense they represent the high-water mark of Pergamene art, inspired -with an equal skill, but with a nobler ideal than the earlier work, -and not subject to the somewhat grotesque exaggerations of its later -activities. Greek art has few nobler figures to show than the Dying -Gaul of the Capitol, itself an admirable and closely contemporary -copy, perhaps made in Ephesos, of the bronze original at Pergamon. The -sober restraint of the torso modelling is remarkable, and contrasts -most forcibly with the altar frieze. The pathos of the expression and -attitude is not forced or exaggerated in any way, and if the curious -hair gives a touch of strangeness to the head, we must account for -it as a naturalistic detail of the Gallic fashion of greasing and -oiling the hair. The Ludovisi Gaul is a superb work, rather more -exaggerated, both in expression and in detail, than the Capitol figure. -The right arm is perhaps wrongly restored, as it hides the face from -the front, but it is more likely that the group should be looked at -from a position farther to the left, where the face, the fine stride, -and the technical _tour de force_ of the cloak can all be appreciated -more fully. The woman’s face is not well finished, and her whole -pose is more effective from the other point of view. The Pergamene -peculiarities in the treatment of chest and waist are clearly visible -in this figure. - -The little figures in Naples, the Louvre, Venice, and elsewhere are -partly recumbent dead figures of Persians, giants, and Amazons, and -partly crouching figures defending themselves. None of the victorious -Greeks seems to have survived, except possibly the torso of a horseman -in the Terme Museum. They are dry, rather hard figures, much inferior -in skill to the larger group and much closer to the bronze originals -which they represent. The head of a dead Persian in the Terme Museum -(Fig. 5) is probably a more worthy copy (on a larger scale) of one of -the figures of this series. Its type of features and its moustache -resemble the Ludovisi Gaul. Another fine Gallic head is in the Gizeh -Museum at Cairo (Fig. 6). This has been often called an original, an -Alexandrian variant of the Gallic dedications. There is, however, no -need to separate it from the others. If it shows more emotion, that -only brings it rather closer to what we know of earlier Pergamene art. -The provenance of the Gizeh head is disputed, and it may be only a -recent importation into Egypt.[24] - -We now come to the frieze of the great altar at Pergamon (Fig. 7), the -contribution of Eumenes II to the series of monuments commemorating -the defeats of the barbarians. Here again we have several inscriptions -of artists,[25] which are especially interesting as showing that four -foreign artists of Attic, Ephesian, and Rhodian origin all contributed -to the great monument. It is, however, quite uniform and unique in -character, and shows a _baroque_ exaggeration of expression and of -muscular detail, which in the end becomes monotonous and overpowering. -The slight tendency towards a histrionic attitude, which we noticed in -the Ludovisi Gaul, has now become much more pronounced. Most of the -figures are in stage attitudes of fright, ferocity, attack, or defence. -Their bodies are covered either with drapery in wild disorder, or, -if naked, with massive rolls and lumps of muscle, which are almost -comical in their exaggeration. Their hair is in unrestrained twisted -snaky locks; their faces are distorted in fierce expressions of anger -or alarm; they are in every conceivable attitude of attack or defence. -When we add to this the colossal size of the monument and its figures, -we can well understand how its remains became known to early Christian -writers as the throne of Satan.[26] - -[Illustration: 5] - -[Illustration: 6] - -[Illustration: 7] - -[Illustration: 8] - -The subject of the frieze is the battle of the gods and the giants, and -the members of the Olympic Pantheon are represented in attitudes of -triumph over the serpent-footed denizens of Tartarus. This is probably -the first appearance in sculpture of the serpent feet of the giant. -Every earlier artist had realized how such a ridiculous detail -would detract from the strength and probability of his figures, but -the Pergamene artists are so glad of the chance of displaying extra -technical skill that they pass over the artistic difficulty without -hesitation. The great frieze of the altar is like the work of a -megalomaniac. The restraint and good taste which have accompanied all -Hellenic art hitherto are quite forgotten, and we are reminded rather -of some Assyrian scene of carnage and destruction. This is the more -curious, because the smaller frieze of the altar, the Telephos frieze, -which is contemporary with the larger one, shows altogether a different -character. It has therefore been plausibly argued, with the support of -some of the artists’ signatures, that the main style of the work is -Rhodian rather than Pergamene.[27] The view would only involve us in -further difficulties when we come to consider Rhodian art. There is -Rhodian influence in the frieze, but the technical details of hair, -faces, and bodies as a whole correspond closely to Pergamene art. -Moreover, on _a priori_ grounds, Pergamene art is much more likely to -be affected by exotic oriental influences than the purer Rhodian. It -is easier to assume a special development of Pergamene art in this -exaggerated direction for a monument which was itself a special and -exceptional memorial. The whole character of the work is a reversion -to an earlier idealistic phase of art, though carried out on very -different artistic lines. This is no romantic or frivolous treatment of -mythological detail. It is a great conception of the victory of right -over might, of Hellas over the barbarian, and as such the great altar -of Pergamon stands quite apart from most of the work of the Hellenistic -age, and serves rather as a connecting link between the Parthenon -on the one hand and the Imperial trophies of Augustus, like the Ara -Pacis, on the other. It demonstrates the lack of judgement and balance -in Hellenistic art, but it is a good proof that the Hellenistic school -was not wholly absorbed in questions of _bravura_ and technique, but -could rise, even if in rather clumsy fashion, to the level of a great -occasion. - -The smaller frieze of Pergamon, giving incidents in the myth of -Telephos, is of a very different type (Fig. 8). Firstly, the subject -is not a unity in time and place, but a continuous narration of -mythological episodes. It thus resembles the setting in a continuous -frieze of a number of metope-subjects. Telephos appears in different -situations in a scene which apparently is uniform. This is a decidedly -new departure in artistic theory, and it had the profoundest effect on -all subsequent art. We need not, of course, see in the Telephos frieze -the first appearance of this custom, but it happens to be the earliest -surviving monument in which the principle is easily remarked. Moreover, -the information as to change of scene is conveyed by means of changes -in the background, so that we see in it another new departure: the use -of a significant pictorial background instead of the blank wall against -which earlier reliefs had been set. Here again the Hellenistic artist -revives rather than originates. The pictorial background occurs as -early as the ‘Erechtheum’ _poros_ pediment of the Acropolis, but during -the fifth and fourth centuries the idea was dropped only to reappear at -a later date. - -We have already seen that relief sculpture at all stages of its history -is closely affected by the kindred art of painting. During the fourth -century painting underwent changes in the direction of naturalism as -marked as, if not more marked than, the corresponding changes in -sculpture. The late fourth century and the third century form the great -period of Greek painting, in which the names of Parrhasios, Protogenes, -and Apelles stand supreme. A true and correct feeling for perspective -and a naturalistic scheme of colouring were the main discoveries of -the period, discoveries which we are only able to appreciate in very -roundabout methods through Pompeian wall-paintings and mummy-cases -from the Fayum. All Hellenistic sculpture is profoundly influenced -by painting, as we shall see; but naturally the art of relief is -nearest akin and shows most clearly the effects of graphic ideas. The -Hellenistic reliefs are almost all adaptations of pictures, and the -Telephos frieze earns its main interest and reputation because it is -one of the first monuments to show this influence very clearly. We find -a true use of perspective in part of this frieze, and a deliberate -intention to create the impression of depth. - -One of the first results of these innovations was to free relief from -its subordination to architecture. It begins now to take its place as -a self-sufficing artistic object like a picture. Greek pictures were -mainly of the fresco type, and therefore immovably fixed to walls, -though easel pictures now begin to be more frequent. There was nothing -dissimilar in the position of a relief decorating a wall-panel without -architectural significance. This idea found its earliest manifestation -in Ionia with friezes of the Assos type on an architrave block, and -therefore at variance with architectural principles. Friezes as wall -decorations appear commonly in the Ionian buildings of the fifth -and fourth centuries, like the Nereid and Trysa monuments and the -Mausoleum. We find in the Hellenistic age the use of panels as wall -decorations quite frequent all over Asia Minor. Thus at Cyzicus we -have some curious mythological reliefs called Stylopinakia, which -appear to have been panels fixed between the columns of a peristyle. We -have the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaos of Priene, a clear instance -of the decorative panel with a pictorial background; we have smaller -pieces like the Menander relief in the Lateran; the visit of Dionysos -to a dramatic poet; and all the series of so-called Hellenistic reliefs -ascribed by Schreiber[28] to an Alexandrian origin, by Wickhoff[29] to -the Augustan age and Italian art. The reliefs, like other sculpture -of the Hellenistic age, cannot be judged as a whole.[30] Some are -Augustan, like the reliefs in the Palazzo Spada, and some are -undoubtedly Alexandrian, like the Grimani reliefs in Vienna. Others, -again, show a strong Lysippic influence, which at once connects them -with Rhodes. The Telephos frieze, however, is Pergamene, and the -Cyzicus reliefs must have fallen mainly in the Pergamene sphere of art. -We are, therefore, entitled to demand a separation of the reliefs into -just as many classes as the sculpture. A fine piece of very high relief -from Pergamon is the group of Prometheus on the Caucasus freed by -Herakles.[31] Besides the influence of pictures on relief there is also -the influence of earlier sculpture. One of the figures in the Telephos -relief reproduces the Weary Herakles of Lysippos.[32] It would not be -difficult to point out other examples of the adaptation of older types. -The Marsyas group is itself a case in point. The indifference of the -Hellenistic artist to his subject made him the readier to adapt earlier -types, provided he had a free hand for his details of execution and -expression. - -[Illustration: 9] - -[Illustration: 10] - -The figures of Pergamene art as a whole are short and stocky with -squarish deep heads. They correspond to the Scopaic, pre-Lysippic, and -Peloponnesian type, but the Lysippic improvements in pose and swing of -the body are thoroughly appreciated and adopted. From Praxiteles are -derived the female type and the interest in the satyr as a vehicle of -sculptural expression. The athletic art of Lysippos and the school of -Sikyon is practically unrepresented at Pergamon or in those regions of -Ionia and Bithynia which are connected with it and at which we must now -glance. - -From Priene we have remains of a gigantomachy and some other -sculpture.[33] The influence of Praxiteles is marked, and the work as -a whole is clearly under Pergamene guidance. From Magnesia we have -remains of a great Amazonomachy belonging to the frieze of the temple -of Artemis Leucophryene and dating from the end of the third century. -The work is dull and careless but strongly under the influence of -Pergamon. We shall in fact find no more architectural reliefs of even -tolerable quality. The new landscape or pictorial reliefs occupied the -attention of the sculptors, and temple decoration was left entirely to -workmen. - -One of the great Hellenistic art centres is Tralles, whose treasures -are mainly to be seen in the Constantinople museum. The colossal Apollo -or Dionysos (Fig. 9) is closely connected in pose and treatment with -the Apollo of the Marsyas group, and shows even more clearly than the -torso in the Uffizi the influence of Praxiteles. The cloaked ephebe -of Tralles (Fig. 10) is a good example of the eclecticism of the age. -The leaning attitude with the crossed legs reminds us of the satyrs -of Praxiteles and his school, but the head is quite different and is -strongly reminiscent of Myron. Boethos of Chalcedon belongs by birth to -the northern or Pergamene sphere of influence, but he worked in Rhodes -and will be more suitably considered in connexion with Rhodian art. -Pergamene influence was also strong in the islands and on the mainland. -We shall see that the school of Melos and both Attic and Peloponnesian -art during the late third and second centuries were obviously affected -by it. - - - - -II - -THE SCHOOL OF ALEXANDRIA - - -It may well be questioned whether we are really in a position to -separate the Hellenistic schools as definitely and surely as we can -separate the Attic and Peloponnesian schools of the fifth and fourth -centuries or the earlier local schools of the sixth. In the Hellenistic -age we find a far greater uniformity and cosmopolitanism in art than -ever before. The conquests of Alexander had been in the long run -Panhellenic, and outside the mainland at any rate the title Greek -came at last to mean more than merely a man’s city or state. It has -therefore been argued by some critics that we must not expect to find -the same local distinctions in Hellenistic art. In a cosmopolitan world -with easy communications local and separate developments were no longer -possible. This position is plausible, and so far as the question of -ideals or even types is concerned there is little to choose between the -Hellenistic schools. The so-called Hellenistic reliefs are probably -of very diverse origin; the Hellenistic love for _genre_ scenes and -for the grotesque appears to be universally indulged; the erotic -groups of Pergamon were certainly equally popular in Alexandria; the -influence of painting and the adaptation of earlier sculptural types -are found in all parts of the Aegean world. But there does seem to be -a distinction in technical execution between the three great schools -of the period, which is sufficient to justify their consideration in -three separate chapters. While Pergamon is predominantly subject to -the Scopaic-Praxitelean mixed tradition with an especial fondness -for extremely clear-cut work and soft finish, Rhodes appears to be -equally faithful to the Lysippic athletic tradition, and Alexandria to -a strongly impressionist development of Praxitelean ideas joined to -a fondness for unsparing realism in the grotesque, a combination not -infrequent in the decadence of art. For Alexandrian art, more than any -of the others, deserves the title of decadent through its abandonment -of every vestige of idealism in motive. - -We know the connexion of Alexandria with Athens was close in the late -fourth century, especially during the rule of Demetrios of Phaleron in -its closing decades. It was at this time that Bryaxis made the Sarapis -(Fig. 12), which has perhaps survived for us in the innumerable copies -of a wild-haired, heavily bearded head with shadowed mysterious eyes. -During the next century Macedonia was the chief foe of Athens and of -the Ptolemies, and all the earlier Egyptian rulers were on close terms -of friendship with the city. Thus a predominant influence of Athens and -of the greatest of the fourth-century Athenian sculptors, Praxiteles, -is only what we should anticipate in Alexandrian art. It has, however, -been argued that we have no evidence for a native art of Alexandria at -all.[34] While importing much late Attic sculpture, she borrowed also -from Pergamon works like the Gaul’s head at Cairo,[35] and from Antioch -a group like the Dresden Aphrodite with the Triton.[36] She was in fact -a collecting rather than an originating centre. - -[Illustration: 11] - -[Illustration: 12] - -[Illustration: 13] - -This view is improbable on many grounds. The Egyptians were a people -with a keen artistic sense, and the sudden introduction of a new race -like the Greeks with their passion for cultural expression could -hardly fail to give an impetus to artistic output. Moreover, a great -revival in architecture is noticeable all over Egypt. The Ptolemaic -age is one of the great building periods of the Nile valley. Further, -our authorities are unanimous on the importance and brilliance of -the Alexandrian school of painting, and we know that in gem-cutting -Pyrgoteles started a development never surpassed in antiquity or -modern times. In literature, in criticism, and in science the museum -of Alexandria held the chief place, and it is impossible to suppose -that Egypt remained a mere collector of sculpture without any original -development of her own. We must, therefore, examine the artistic -products of Hellenistic Egypt to see if they exhibit any technical -peculiarities marking them off from other Hellenistic centres and -compelling us to credit them with a local origin. - -Any study of the sculpture of Alexandrian origin reveals one -characteristic almost invariably present in serious work, as opposed -to the grotesque, and absent from the certified products of other -centres. This is that quality of slurring over all sharp detail in the -features and producing a highly polished, almost liquidly transparent -surface for which we have borrowed the Italian term _morbidezza_.[37] -Instances of this highly impressionist treatment are to be found in -the British Museum head of Alexander from Alexandria, and also in the -Sieglin head from the same place; in the Triton head of the Dresden -Alexandrian group of Triton and Aphrodite; in the many Anadyomene -copies which are mostly connected with Alexandria, such for instance -as the beautiful statue recently found in Cyrenaica (Fig. 11); in -girls’ heads from Alexandria in Copenhagen and Dresden. In most of -these works and in many others the soft transparent quality of the face -is matched by a quite rough impressionist blocking-out of the hair. -Thus we find both the characteristics of Praxitelean impressionism, -the rough hair and the soft liquid gaze, exaggerated and intensified -in Alexandrian sculpture. While the female hair of Pergamene art is -invariably clear-cut and rope-like, Alexandrian hair is normally -of the rough crinkly Praxitelean type, sometimes merely formal, at -others more complicated and complete. This impressionist character of -Alexandrian sculpture is borne out by what we know of its painting, and -is doubtless due to some extent to the great influence of painting on -sculpture as well as to the influence of Praxiteles. - -Another technical point about Alexandrian sculpture is connected with -the local conditions of the country. Egypt is not a country of marble, -and therefore the artists had to be economical in the use of it. This -is probably the reason why so many Alexandrian heads have the faces -complete in marble but the hair added separately in stucco, where the -colouring would render the difference in material hardly noticeable. -Thus many statues of Alexandrian origin have large pieces of the -upper part of their heads smoothed away and left for the addition of -stucco. This phenomenon is not confined to Alexandrian art, though it -is much commoner at Alexandria than elsewhere, and where we find it in -combination with the other qualities of impressionism and _morbidezza_ -already noticed we may feel fairly confident in claiming an Alexandrian -origin for the work in question. - -[Illustration: 14] - -[Illustration: 15] - -[Illustration: 16] - -This theory is admirably illustrated in the beautiful little head of -a girl from Chios recently acquired by the Boston Museum (Fig. 13). -The head shows us an extreme degree of _morbidezza_ in the softening -of all the sharper facial lines such as eyelids and lips. The face -is seen almost through a slight haze, and it thus gets some of the -impression conveyed by distance. Where the head is worked it is quite -rough and formal in purely impressionist style, but most of the hair -was to be added in stucco, as the sharp cuts on the upper part of the -head demonstrate. The head has been attributed too enthusiastically to -Praxiteles himself. It is good work, but it is not by the author of the -Hermes. The too mechanical smile and the too formal cheeks show a less -masterly touch. But it is a perfect embodiment of Alexandrian art about -300 B.C. and must be unhesitatingly attributed to its real origin. We -see a general copy of the Praxitelean long face with eyes about the -centre of the head, Praxitelean proportions, and Praxitelean head-type. - -Another head of Alexandrian origin is the fine bearded head of the -Capitol Museum (Fig. 14), which is really almost a mask with the whole -of the top and sides of the head left for stucco additions. The rough -blocking of the beard shows the artist’s impressionist leanings. The -long face is purely Attic, though perhaps closer to Bryaxis or some -later artist than to Praxiteles. The head is more or less akin to the -Sarapis head and to the other much finer bearded head which stands -in close relation to the Sarapis, the well-known Zeus of Otricoli -(Fig. 15). In the Otricoli head we have a similar prominence of the -cheek-bones, a similar narrowing of the forehead above the frontal -sinus--Attic features but not Praxitelean. The Otricoli Zeus is also -a marble work cut for stucco additions, some of which are still -visible, and we should probably recognize in it another work of early -Alexandrian origin. It is perhaps not too daring to see the prototype -of these Attic-shaped non-Praxitelean Alexandrian bearded heads in the -Sarapis of Bryaxis.[38] Bryaxis or some other late Attic artist seems -to have affected the bearded male type of Alexandria much as Praxiteles -influenced the feminine ideal. Nottingham Castle contains a bearded -head from Nemi,[39] which belongs to the same class of work. Here again -we have the hair added in stucco and a general resemblance to the -Otricoli type. - -[Illustration: 17] - -[Illustration: 18] - -One of the new Greco-Alexandrian types was naturally the goddess Isis. -A head in the Louvre (Fig. 16) gives us a version of this figure, -which still, even in a poor Roman copy, shows us something of the -languid elegance of the original. There is no traceable influence of -Scopas in Alexandrian art. The Praxitelean and Attic tradition was -transferred pure, and therefore the liveliness of movement and action -in Pergamene art is quite absent from the art of Alexandria. Statues -are mainly small, partly perhaps for economy, and partly from the lack -of all desire for comparison with the gigantic masterpieces of ancient -Egypt, and they are limited to simple standing or seated poses. An -interesting statue of obvious Alexandrian origin is the priest of Isis -in the Capitol (Fig. 17), which has been wrongly restored with a female -head. This head is itself Alexandrian, as its hair demonstrates, but -it has no connexion with the body, which is male, though draped in a -light clinging tunic.[40] The tunic is interesting as giving us -a good example of Alexandrian drapery. We may notice the very small -closely set folds, and the extreme realistic care with which the loose -parts of the drapery are distinguished from those tightly stretched. -There is an element of artificiality no doubt in the way in which the -folds radiate from the great jar carried against the chest and in -their close symmetry of design, but as a whole the effect of texture -is marvellously well secured. We have here a good example of the -naturalism which now plays a large part in Alexandrian art. - -Another statue which we must claim for Alexandrian art is the -Capitoline Venus (Fig. 18), an extremely interesting statue not -only as a first-rate original but from its relation to the Cnidian -goddess of Praxiteles. The face and the hair show the usual qualities -of Alexandrian impressionism; the fringed mantle thrown over the -water-pot is the mantle of the Egyptian Isis, and the foreshortening -of the foot of the amphora is just the pictorial touch we expect in -Alexandrian art. But the most interesting light which this statue -throws on Alexandrian art is its directness and want of subtlety in -motive. The goddess of Cnidos is naked, but she is only half-conscious -of her nakedness. Her eyes are fixed on eternity, and the actual bath -is a mere accessory like the child of the Hermes. But the Capitoline -goddess is not thinking of eternity at all. She is stepping into her -bath, and is suddenly aware of a spectator’s gaze. She is the classical -counterpart of Susannah in Renaissance art. All the vague beauty of the -Attic statue is lost by the touch of Alexandrian realism, which amounts -almost to vulgarity. As to the treatment of the body it is again real -and not ideal. The back in particular shows a close study of the model -without any of the selective idealism of classical art. Like the -beautiful torso in Syracuse[41] it is a marvellous study from nature, -not marked by any vestige of idealism. - -Another head in the Capitol, the so-called Ariadne (Fig. 19), perhaps -really a Dionysos, also suggests an Alexandrian origin with its long -face, eyes close together, and crinkly hair.[42] It is a very favourite -Roman head often copied, and must belong to some famous original. It -wears a band, which presses into the hair, and its sleepy languid gaze -is remarkable. This is produced by making the upper eyelid nearly -straight and the lower one well curved. The face is long and heavy. -Both eye-shape and head recall the Boston girl from Chios and other -Alexandrian statues. The surface of the face is highly polished, the -hair left crinkly and rough--an Alexandrian procedure. If we can accept -this head, we must class with it two heads of identical facial type, -the Eubouleus of Eleusis[43] sometimes attributed to Praxiteles, and -the so-called Inopos from Delos in the Louvre (Fig. 20). Alexandrian -dedications might plausibly be expected at Delos and Eleusis. Both -Inopos and Eubouleus are highly impressionist. We have said enough to -show that what we may call the serious art of Alexandria had certain -characteristics of technique and execution, which render not impossible -an attempt to classify and arrange an Alexandrian school of sculpture. -We must now turn to another side of Alexandrian art which, if of less -artistic interest, is nevertheless of paramount importance in our study -of Hellenistic art. - -[Illustration: 19] - -[Illustration: 20] - -The people of Alexandria were noted in the ancient world as scoffers -and cynics. Their temper was fiery, their jests were brutal, and -reverence of any kind was unknown to them. A cosmopolitan medley of -Greek, Macedonian, native Egyptian, Jew, and every nation of the East, -they were united only in their utter diversity of point of view and -their scepticism of all ideal obligation. To such a people caricature -and a love of the grotesque were almost second nature. By the side of -the greater art of Alexandria it is easy to discern a lesser art of -comic, grotesque, and obscene statuettes of every description. Greek -realism in portraiture went back to the Pellichos of Demetrios with his -great paunch and scanty hair in the early fourth century.[44] With the -end of the century the satyr was a recognized medium for every variety -of the _baroque_ and the _macabre_ in expression. But in Alexandria -above all the grotesque exaggeration of natural defects found its true -popularity. The negro, the hunchback, the drunkard, the _crétin_ of -every kind, became popular artistic models. As if the delineation of -youth and beauty was exhausted, the Hellenistic sculptors of Alexandria -rushed into the portrayal of disease, of old age, and of mutilation -in every form. They suffered as much as any modern decadent from -‘la nostalgie de la boue’. Here again we must beware of attributing -to Alexandria all the grotesque figures of Hellenistic art and all -its pieces of most painful naturalism. Pergamon, if not Rhodes, and -doubtless Antioch must have played their part in the commonest form -of artistic decadence; but we have so much of this work certified as -Alexandrian, that we are justified in regarding Egypt as its chief -and most popular home. Works of this type fall into two classes: the -purely grotesque and the extremely naturalistic. The former class is -more or less confined to statuettes, of which a number are collected in -Perdrizet’s _Bronzes grecs d’Egypte de la Collection Fouquet_, and the -account of the Mahdia ship in _Monuments Piot_ for 1909 and 1910. These -include gnomes, pygmies, dwarfs (Fig. 21), and little obscene figures -of all kinds. Needless to say, Praxitelean qualities of _morbidezza_ -and impressionism have no place in art of this kind. We may presume -that the demand was primarily foreign and not Greek, though all the -skill of Greek sculpture is employed in the faultless execution of many -of them. Their Alexandrian origin is better attested than that of the -second class of extremely naturalistic works. - -The latter are more important and more interesting. They include some -of the most skilful works of sculpture ever achieved. The splendid -negro’s head of Berlin[45] and the fisherman of the Louvre are of -undoubted Alexandrian origin, but such works as the fisherman and the -peasant woman of the Conservatori[46] or the old women of the Capitol -and of Dresden are not so clear in their origin. When we get a statue -of this type, combined with some clearly Alexandrian quality, such as -the so-called Diogenes of the Villa Albani[47]--a naked beggar carried -out with fine realism but also with considerable _morbidezza_ and -impressionism--we may claim an Alexandrian origin; but impressionism is -rare among such statues, as the artists seem to love to dwell on every -detail. We may, however, regard them as a single class irrespective of -their individual origin. The Louvre fisherman[48] deserves careful -study for its absolutely unsparing truth to nature. The slackness of -skin caused by long wading in water, the swelling of the veins through -hard work, the feebleness and hollowness of chest due to old age or -disease, the coarse peasant’s head, in which each wrinkle is faithfully -delineated, deserve our wonder if not our admiration. The little -companion pair in the Conservatori, though inferior in workmanship as -Roman copies, are also full of interest for their vitality and truth. -Finest of all perhaps is the splendid old woman’s head in Dresden (Fig. -22), with its marvellous mimicry of the ravages of age. Such art is -decadent, because it is pessimistic, cynical, and unhappy, and because -it refuses to select and idealize as it might do even in studies of -decay; but of its brilliant execution there can be no doubt. Only -the Chinese have made grotesques which can rank with the products of -Alexandria. - -This is a convenient place for dealing with the great series of -Hellenistic reliefs, though it is no longer possible to maintain -that these have a uniform and common origin either in Alexandria or -in Imperial Rome.[49] We have seen their beginning in the Telephos -frieze, the first to show us a pictorial background and an episodic -mythological treatment. The appearance of the relief panel as a -self-sufficient whole without architectural background is an invention -of the Hellenistic age as early as the third century B.C., but it -continues as an artistic force right through Roman into mediaeval and -modern art. Certainly not even the Hellenistic reliefs have a common -origin, but it is not impossible that Alexandria was the home of one -class of them, the pre-eminently pastoral scenes like the Grimani -reliefs in Vienna (Fig. 23). Alexandria was the greatest city of the -Hellenistic world and the farthest from any conception of the pastoral -life of the country. It is, therefore, possible that the rise of the -pastoral tendency in art was connected with the Alexandrian craving -for novelty and variety in a sphere of which it knew nothing. It is -certain that the pastoral poems of Theocritos delighted the citizens of -Alexandria, and the Hellenistic pastoral relief is strictly analogous -to the poems of Theocritos. It shows a countryside of the Watteau type -with satyrs and nymphs to correspond to the shepherds and shepherdesses -of the court of Louis XIV. It is an artificial country without a touch -of the reality of nature. Thus the pastoral reliefs and the poems of -Theocritos represent the one element of idealism in the materialistic -culture of Alexandria. - -[Illustration: 21] - -[Illustration: 23] - -[Illustration: 22] - -[Illustration: 24] - -The Hellenistic reliefs may be divided into three classes: the -pastoral reliefs such as the scenes showing sheep and a lioness and -cubs, called the Grimani reliefs, in Vienna; mythological reliefs -like the Bellerophon and Pegasus of the Palazzo Spada,[50] or Perseus -and Andromeda of the Capitol[51] in Rome; and more complicated little -scenes or groups like the Menander relief of the Lateran,[52] the -Apotheosis of Homer,[53] the slaying of the Niobids,[54] or the visit -of Dionysos to a dramatic poet.[55] They are all closely related to -painting--how closely a reference to Pompeian wall-paintings or mosaics -like the famous Praenestine pavement will show--but there are some -differences between the groups which are worthy of mention. The -pastoral scenes are straightforward and naturalistic. The little group -of a countryman driving a cow past a ruined temple in Munich is a good -example of straightforward naturalism. The mythological reliefs are -usually distinctly affected in style. The gesture with which Perseus -receives Andromeda is like that of an exquisite handing a lady from -her carriage. Bellerophon waters his horse with a nonchalant air.[56] -Daedalos and Icaros[57] present a curious mixture of affectation and -realism. But it may now be regarded as certain that the Spada reliefs -are Augustan in date at the earliest, and the affectation may well be -imported. This is, indeed, partially demonstrated by a comparison of -the two copies of the Daedalos-Icaros group in the Villa Albani, of -which one is Roman, the other probably late Hellenistic. At the same -time it is remarkable that the figures of the mythological reliefs all -show the long slender proportions of Lysippos. This at once suggests a -Rhodian connexion. Mythological groups are favourites in Rhodes, and it -is the one place where the Lysippic tradition certainly lasted. It is -not a wholly hazardous suggestion to propose a Rhodian origin for the -mythological, and an Alexandrian origin for the pastoral, reliefs. One -might be tempted, therefore, to ascribe the most intimate and domestic -scenes to Pergamon, but there is insufficient evidence for proof at -present, though the reliefs deserve careful study with these possible -divisions in mind. - -In general we can only point out their fine naturalism and perfect -execution. Their artists seem to have mastered all the problems of -perspective and to deal with the third dimension as easily as with the -other two. It is natural to notice some advance in freedom of style. -The earlier reliefs, like the Telephos frieze, or the Dolon relief,[58] -are in less pronounced relief and with less carefully conceived -perspective. Later reliefs like the so-called Menander relief show -some of the figures in part detached from the background, while the -perspective of a group is most subtly graded. We may compare the finest -of them with the bronze doors of the Florentine Baptistery and their -marvellous panels. - -We are still left with one important monument of Alexandrian art which -perhaps can be treated most fitly in connexion with the pastoral -reliefs--the great statue of the Nile in the Braccio Nuovo of the -Vatican (Fig. 24). The god lies out at length supported on his elbow, -and little boys, representing the cubits of his annual rise, play -about over him. The work is a Roman copy, and tells us little of -technique, but the _putti_ are interesting as a typical Hellenistic -development. This is the period in which Eros, who has been growing -steadily younger from the youth of Praxiteles to the boy of Lysippos, -turns finally into the chubby Roman Cupid or Amorino of Renaissance -art. As such he helps Aphrodite in her toilet or performs all manner of -tasks in the fine frieze of Erotes at Ephesos. It is the logical ending -of the transformation of mythology into _genre_. Alexandrian art is -essentially mundane and frivolous, sceptical and humorous. Her artists -would have appreciated the earlier Pergamene developments, but they -would have laughed at the clumsy idealism of the great altar frieze. -Nor would they have felt much sympathy with the athletic art of Rhodes. - -We may perhaps consider here the little we know of the art of Antioch, -since it has certain points in common with that of Alexandria. The -chief monument used in all discussion of Antiochene art is the statue -of Antioch[59] on the Orontes, made by Eutychides, a pupil of Lysippos. -A small copy of this in the Vatican shows us a fine seated figure -crowned with the turreted crown, who rests her foot on a little male -figure with outstretched arms representing the stream of the Orontes. -Unfortunately the copy is too small to give us much information about -the artist, though he seems to have used the same idea for another -statue of the Eurotas. We have, however, a figure of Aphrodite from -Egypt (Fig. 25), which shows a supporting Triton in an attitude -indubitably connected with the figure of the Orontes. This is an -Egyptian work, but it argues some artistic connexion between Alexandria -and the Seleucid capital. Another link is given us by the statement[60] -that the Apollo at Daphne near Antioch was made by Bryaxis, the author -of the Alexandrian Sarapis. - -Antioch, though like Alexandria in many respects--in her -turbulent population, her cosmopolitanism, her irreverence for -all authority--seems never to have developed the cultured love of -literature and the arts which we find at Pergamon and on the Nile. She -remained in all probability a collector and not an originator of art. -The glimpses which we can get of her statues indicate a catholic taste. -The Apollo seated on the Omphalos, which decorates the Seleucid coins, -resembles the Lysippic type, and a Herakles type, also found on Syrian -coins and reproduced in the bronze colossus of the Conservatori, has -some connexion with the later Sikyonian school. By the side of these we -must place the Apollo of Bryaxis. - -Ephesos, a strong place more or less at the meeting-point of three -empires, has left us considerable remains of Hellenistic art. Her -bronze athlete at Vienna (Fig. 26) belongs to a later development of -the Scopaic school; her frieze of Erotes[61] is more in the Alexandrian -manner. Some beautiful bronzes, in particular a Herakles attacking a -centaur,[62] are in the mixed Lysippo-Scopaic manner. There are also -traces of Praxitelean influence in her art. - -These cosmopolitan collecting centres cannot tell us much of the -methods of Hellenistic art. Our best resource is to examine more -closely the works of certified origin. Ephesos is, however, important -for its school of copyists. The marble copies of the Attalid -dedications were perhaps made here, and Agasias, the author of the -Borghese Fighter,[63] was an Ephesian by birth, although a Rhodian by -education. - -[Illustration: 25] - -[Illustration: 26] - - - - -III - -THE RHODIAN SCHOOL - - -The school of Rhodes stands on a different footing from that of -Pergamon or Alexandria. The latter were new foundations, or at least -new societies, in which the Greek element was associated with much -that was alien and exotic. The orgiastic wildness of Phrygia went far -to influence the art of Pergamon, whether in its earlier sensuality -or its later pageantry of exaggerated triumph. In Alexandria and in -Antioch non-Greek races imported into Hellenic art the cynicism and -the world-weariness of older and exhausted civilizations. But Rhodes -was pure Greek and a living, growing, prosperous community without -recollections of humiliation and defeat. Rhodes as a city had been born -of the union of Lindos, Kameiros, and Ialysos at the end of the fifth -century. The fourth century brought slow growth, but the successful -defence against Demetrios Poliorcetes in its last decade opened a new -chapter in Rhodian history. Henceforward Rhodes was mistress of an -empire. She acquired possessions on the mainland; her fleet rode and -controlled her neighbouring seas; her trade stretched out tentacles in -all directions; and among the semi-barbarous Hellenistic kingdoms she -alone carried proudly the torch of undefiled Hellenic tradition. Chares -of Lindos, a pupil of Lysippos, headed the long roll of her sculptors; -her painter, Protogenes, had but one rival in the Sikyonian Apelles. -Thus from the first she boasted great artists, closely connected too -with the school of Sikyon. Her Dorian sympathies naturally isolated -her from the Attic school and from the mixed Praxitelean-Scopaic -school of the Ionian mainland. Her Peloponnesian and Sikyonian -connexions identified her at once with athletic art and with the school -of Lysippos. Thus while Alexandria and Pergamon patronized marble -sculpture, Rhodes now becomes the home of bronze casting. Her vast -Colossus was matched by at least one hundred more statues of remarkable -size, and the roll of her artists as recorded in inscriptions is -noteworthy for its length. The great siege gave that impulse of -idealism which is necessary for the growth of any artistic development, -and the traditional friendship with the rising power of Rome helped -her to preserve her prosperity and independence later than any of her -neighbours. The last great work of Rhodian art, the Laocoon, is almost -as late as the Empire, and the whole period of two hundred and fifty -years between it and the Colossus is marked by an immense output of -sculpture. - -We have already suggested that the Hellenistic art of Rhodes began -under the dominant influence of the athletic school of Lysippos. We -must first examine the character and achievements of this school. -Daippos, Boedas, and Euthykrates are said to have been sons and pupils -of the great Sikyonian. Of these Euthykrates was the best known, -and Pliny tells us that he followed his father’s carefulness rather -than his elegance, and that his style was more severe than genial -(‘constantiam potius imitatus patris quam elegantiam austero maluit -genere quam iucundo placere’).[64] His works were mainly athletic or -equestrian, with a few female subjects, and his pupil Tisicrates was -a faithful copyist of the style of Lysippos, so much so, in fact, that -his works could hardly be distinguished from the master’s. Daippos made -a _perixyomenos_ or athlete scraping himself,[65] and Boedas made an -_adorans_ or praying figure.[66] - -Pliny’s description is important, because it assures us of the -faithfulness with which the pupils of Lysippos kept to their master’s -style. This is the basis for the argument of those who see in the -Apoxyomenos of the Vatican a work of the pupil Daippos rather than the -master; but the argument is two-edged, if Lysippos’ own style is to be -found in the Agias, since the two statues have little in common. The -mention of the _adorans_ enables us to connect two well-known bronzes -with this school--the Praying Boy of Berlin (Fig. 27) and the Resting -Hermes of Naples (Fig. 28). The Praying Boy is a subject unparalleled -elsewhere, and belongs to the early Hellenistic age. He can hardly be -other than a copy of the statue of Boedas. The slender proportions -and small head follow the Lysippic canon, and the easy swing of the -body proves its chronological position. This figure and the others, -which we shall subsequently notice, show a new growth of naturalism -by less insistence on the outlines of the torso muscles. The average -body in repose does not show the massive muscles of Pheidian or even -of Lysippic art, and the post-Lysippic sculptors of the third century -tend to soften and naturalize the torso to a considerable extent. -The Pergamene Dying Gaul is a good example of this fine restraint, -which was utterly abandoned by the later Pergamene school and even -by the late Rhodians, but which in all third-century art of Rhodes -is noteworthy. The Resting Hermes is a fine copy of a post-Lysippic -original, which stood in close connexion with the Praying Boy. The -torso, slender, restrained, and full of vitality, shows the same -treatment, and must belong to the Lysippic school. - -[Illustration: 27] - -[Illustration: 28] - -Eutychides of Sikyon, another pupil of Lysippos, is known to us only -from his Antioch.[67] This figure, even in its poor copy, is of great -importance, since it is almost the only certified draped female -figure of the Lysippic school. Our whole theory of Lysippic and early -Rhodian drapery must, therefore, rest upon it. A comparison with the -Herculaneum figure[68] in Dresden will show at once a considerable -resemblance in treatment, so much so, in fact, that it has caused the -attribution of the Dresden figure to the Lysippic school. This cannot -be allowed because of the greater resemblance to Attic grave-reliefs -and the Mantinean basis, which demonstrates the origin of the type in -the school of Praxiteles.[69] But it is sufficient to show that the -new scheme of the school of Praxiteles was adopted in the main by the -pupils of Lysippos; their faithfulness to their teacher will incline -us to the belief that Lysippos used it also. This type of drapery -shows a tendency to an artificially effective or artistic arrangement -rather than to complete simplicity of naturalism like the drapery of -Praxiteles himself, but it is important to notice that it does not -become purely artificial or stereotyped till much later, and that all -the early examples preserve a considerable share of freer naturalism. -The characteristic of the drapery is an opposition of folds in many -differing directions, so as to counteract the uniformity of the -older Pheidian type. The folds themselves are quite natural; it is only -in their arrangement that we find the element of art. - -The Antioch permits us to assume the tall figure swathed in a long thin -cloak as the female type of the Lysippic school, and therefore of the -early Rhodian school, while the Praying Boy and the Resting Hermes give -us the male type. The close connexion postulated rests on the fact that -Chares of Lindos, the author of Rhodes’ most famous statue, the great -Colossus, was himself a member of the Sikyonian school and a pupil of -the master. But the Colossus itself is unknown to us in any certain -copy, and therefore we cannot speak with full knowledge of his art. -Some statuettes in bronze in marked Lysippic style may well reproduce -the statue, but we cannot feel the necessary certainty in their -identification. - -There is a group of athletic statues of the third century which carry -out the Lysippic tradition to its logical conclusion, and which -consequently we are practically bound to attribute to Rhodian artists. -But until we have a definite copy of Chares’ work we must argue -backwards to the first Rhodian school, of which we have no direct -information, from the later Rhodian school, of which we know a great -deal. The Laocoon[70] and the Farnese Bull[71] are certified works -of Rhodian art of the first century B.C., and they show us a type -of male figure which is quite distinct from the types of Pergamene -and Alexandrian art. We are, therefore, entitled to argue back to -the Rhodian school of the third century, and to attribute to it such -athletic sculpture as is clearly of the earlier date while offering -distinct technical and stylistic resemblances to the later groups. -The male figures of this later period differ from the Pergamene works, -with which they are most easily compared, in certain well-defined -points. The heads are smaller and rounder and the hair is rougher and -less carefully arranged. The eyebrows have a tendency to form sharp -angles with the nose instead of the broad straight curves of the -Pergamene brows. This makes the bridge of the nose thinner and usually -substitutes vertical forehead wrinkles for the swelling frontal sinus -of Pergamene work. Except in cases of great strain the torso muscles -are treated with more restraint, but the veins receive more careful -attention, especially on the abdomen. In the back a more broken-up -system of muscles replaces the great upright rolls on either side of -the backbone, which mark Pergamene work. Finally, the proportions are -slighter and more Lysippic. - -These considerations apply most powerfully to two great statues of -the Louvre, whose third-century date is almost certain: the Borghese -Warrior[72] and the Jason (Fig. 30). The former statue is by Agasias -of Ephesos, an artist whom we can date with some degree of certainty -in the middle of the third century. The Jason comes so close to the -Lysippic type of Poseidon on the one hand and to the Fighter of Agasias -on the other, that the Lysippic-Rhodian origin of the two is fairly -well established. The analogies of the Borghese Warrior with the -Apoxyomenos have been often pointed out, but his resemblances to the -Laocoon and the Farnese groups require an equal recognition. Both the -Louvre statues show the influence of a later generation on the Lysippic -type. While reproducing the general proportions, each develops -Lysippic innovations to a further degree. Lysippos made a distinct -advance in anatomical skill, but both these statues show a more exact -scientific knowledge. While their torso muscles are less prominent, -they reveal new details in abdomen, groin, and the inner side of the -thighs, unknown to the earlier sculptor. They also develop much further -the Lysippic substitution of an all-round figure for a merely frontal -one. Each of them can be regarded effectively from any point of view, -and neither has any real front. They, therefore, represent a distinct -technical advance. But at the same time they show a decline in artistic -feeling, for there is perhaps too much science about them. They belong -to a school immensely interested in detail, and tending, therefore, -to lose its grasp on the general treatment. The anatomical structure -of the male form cannot be rendered more perfectly than in the statue -of Agasias, so well known to all art students, but the statue affects -us with a feeling of strain and discomfort from its want of unity and -repose. All the athletic statues of the Rhodian school seem to be -restless and unsatisfied. There is none of the calm repose about them -that marked earlier Greek art. The desire to display newly acquired -scientific knowledge invariably demands a strained and therefore -disquieting motive. As we shall see when we come to examine the Laocoon -later, the influence of the stage appears to be affecting sculpture. -Poses are histrionic, and expression begins to depend upon grimaces and -action rather than upon more subtle indications of feeling. - -With the Borghese Fighter and the Jason we may class, perhaps, a work -like the Actaeon torso in the Louvre,[73] and also that much discussed -and very beautiful work, the Subiaco Youth.[74] This shows the same -restraint in torso modelling which distinguished the Praying Boy and -the Resting Hermes, but in the strain of its attitude it resembles -rather the Fighter of Agasias, especially in the twist of the body -above the waist, which Lysippos had originated and which his pupils -tend to exaggerate. One of the disquieting features of the Borghese -Fighter is that he implies the presence of another figure which is not -there. He is a fighter without an opponent. The Subiaco Boy is in the -same plight. His attitude can hardly be other than that of a suppliant -touching chin and knee of his enemy in Greek fashion. His artistic -defect is that he again is a suppliant without an enemy, part of a -group without his counterpart. In their anxiety to study the human -figure in all positions the Rhodian artists were apt to overlook the -question of artistic unity. - -[Illustration: 29] - -[Illustration: 30] - -Two fine bronzes in the Terme Museum may be attributed with some -certainty to Rhodian artists, in view of the Rhodian monopoly of -Hellenistic bronze casting. Both are Greek originals--the seated -boxer[75] and the hero resting on a lance (Fig. 29). The latter is -commonly called a portrait of some Hellenistic prince, but the absence -of the royal tiara or any personal indications is significant rather of -a heroic type. The face is strongly individual, but so is that of the -Boxer, the Fighter of Agasias, and even the Jason. We have no reason to -see a portrait in any of them, but personality is beginning to affect -even ideal statues in the Hellenistic age. The hero with the lance -is a fine, if rather histrionic, figure more or less following the -Lysippic type of Alexander with the lance[76] and showing a somewhat -massive and emphatic rendering of a Lysippic type. He belongs to the -later Rhodian school, into which exaggeration has crept, rather than to -the more restrained art of the third century. The Boxer, on the other -hand, brutal and coarse as his expression is, has no trace of muscular -exaggeration, and is an earlier work. His broken nose, swollen ears, -scarred face, and blood-bespattered hair show the unsparing realism of -the artist. He is another instance of the all-round statue of the late -Lysippic school, a masterpiece of technique, if a somewhat disagreeable -work of art. - -We can connect the names and the works of few of the earlier Rhodian -artists, but Boethos of Chalcedon is now established as a worker in -Rhodes,[77] where he received the honour of προξενία. Pliny mentions -his Boy Strangling a Goose,[78] and the many copies of this statue in -existence give us a good idea of its popularity. Boethos was apparently -a silversmith and also a sculptor of boys. He was famous as a maker -of elaborate couches, and we are possibly the possessors of such a -couch in the fine bronze litter of the Conservatori Museum,[79] on -which are little boys’ heads strikingly similar to the Boy with the -Goose. This group is often quoted as an example of the new feeling for -_genre_ or homely domestic detail in sculpture. It is, in fact, of -great importance for its new recognition of the comic in art, and for -the appearance of the fat chubby boy like the Erotes of Ephesos or the -little statuettes of Alexandria. The small boy or girl now becomes a -favourite subject of the sculptor, and we may compare closely with the -Boy of Boethos the Eros and Psyche of the Capitol (Fig. 32), who are -really a little boy and girl engaged in a children’s game. - -We must now turn to another very important side of Rhodian art--the -delineation of female drapery. The followers of Lysippos favoured an -austere style, and the nude female figure has no place in Rhodian art. -But while the other sculptors of the Hellenistic world were modifying -and to some extent vulgarizing the beautiful conceptions of Scopas -and Praxiteles, the Rhodians were attacking the draped female figure -as they inherited it from Praxiteles and Lysippos, and producing -modifications just as interesting and important as those connected with -the athletic statue. - -[Illustration: 31] - -[Illustration: 32] - -[Illustration: 33] - -We know that Philiskos of Rhodes was the author of a group of Muses -which was much admired in Rome. It has been suggested that the new type -of female drapery which appears on an altar from Halicarnassos and on -the relief of the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaos of Priene, certainly -a member of the Rhodian school, was his work.[80] This new type of -drapery is to be seen also in a number of statues of Muses, of which -we have a collection from Miletos in the museum of Constantinople.[81] -It may be described most simply as an aggravation and exaggeration of -the style of drapery introduced by the school of Praxiteles. The desire -to get a series of folds at sharply contrasting angles leads to a very -artificial arrangement of the dress, which produces an inharmonious -effect. But there is a new development which deserves our attention. -Transparent drapery had been elaborated by Alkamenes and the pupils -of Pheidias, but always with the intention of displaying the body -beneath it. The new drapery of the Muses is transparent with the desire -to display other drapery beneath it. The earlier Greeks had used a -thick mantle over a transparent chiton, but the Rhodian author of the -new drapery used a transparent mantle over a clinging chiton. He thus -doubles the subtlety of his technique, and provides himself with a -series of new and intricate problems, just as the athletic sculptor -does with his anatomical discoveries. - -This transparent mantle immediately obtained an immense vogue, and it -comes down into Roman art as a strong rival of the late Praxitelean -drapery, which, however, still prevails by the side of the other. The -greater number of Roman female draped statues use one or the other type -of garments. The Milesian Muses are not in themselves great works of -art. The real technical possibilities of the new drapery are better -displayed by a wonderful figure from Magnesia in Constantinople (Fig. -31), in which the new fashion is rendered with consummate skill. It -is of considerable importance that we should date this change in -drapery as accurately as possible. The date hitherto proposed for its -supposed author Philiskos has been put about 220 B.C. The Apotheosis -of Homer is taken to be about 210 judging from a portrait of Ptolemy -IV appearing in it, and the Halicarnassos base is put about the same -time. But the portrait is by no means certainly that of Ptolemy IV. -It is more like Ptolemy II, and might belong to any period. Philiskos -himself has nothing to do with it. A female figure by him with a -signed base has been discovered in Thasos (Fig. 33). The drapery of -this female figure follows the type of the Mantinean basis,[82] and -the earlier Muses group of the Vatican. The inscription is not earlier -than the first century B.C. Philiskos, then, was a late artist who -used the Praxitelean drapery. As for the transparent drapery, it is -highly improbable that it was invented before the frieze of the great -altar at Pergamon. We know that Rhodian artists worked on this altar, -and Rhodian style is visible in some of the figures, but transparent -drapery of the Rhodian type appears nowhere on the frieze. There seems -to be no reason to date any figure wearing this drapery earlier than -190 B.C., and we should therefore attribute it to the second century. -We have seen in the Antioch of Eutychides the Praxitelean type taken -over by the earlier Rhodian artists in the third century. Have we any -link by which we can connect the transparent mantle with the earlier -form? - -[Illustration: 34] - -The answer to this question is provided by one of the greatest statues -of antiquity, the Victory of Samothrace (Fig. 34). The date and school -of this masterpiece are still warmly disputed, and the current view -tends to connect it with the victory of Demetrios Poliorcetes in 306, -by which he won the command of the sea. Coins of Demetrios show a -trumpet-blowing Victory on the prow of a ship in an attitude closely -resembling the Louvre statue. But the statue has no connexion with -the coin, for a detailed study of the neck and fragments of the right -shoulder reveals the impossibility of the trumpet-blowing attitude. -The right hand and arm are raised high and backwards probably with a -victor’s wreath. Moreover, the coin has a low girdle and no cloak, the -statue the high third-century girdle and a great flapping mantle. The -type is not so rare as might be expected. We have it in small bronzes, -and we have it also _in situ_ on a votive statue in Rhodes. The -Victory of Samothrace is a later version of the statue possibly erected -by Demetrios. Its Rhodian origin depends partly on the extraordinary -_finesse_ and delicate naturalism of its drapery, a study never popular -in Pergamon, and partly on the strong probability, not yet decisively -proved, that the marble of its base is Rhodian. The latter point may -provide definite proof, but the former is the one on which we must at -present rely. The Rhodian origin or at least the Lysippic connexions -of the statue are further supported by the twist above the waist so -universal among the followers of that artist and the strong vital -momentary pose, which is wrongly rendered in the present attitude of -the statue. It is not a standing figure, but a Victory who is just -alighting after flight, and it should therefore be tilted farther -forward. The only statue now existing which presents a real parallel to -the intricate folds of the Victory’s drapery is the Magnesian statue -already mentioned,[83] which belongs to the new Rhodian drapery school. -But the mantle of the Victory is older in type. Thus the Victory’s -drapery stands midway between the Antioch figure and the new Rhodian -fashion. It shows just that scientific naturalism which we have noticed -in the anatomy of the athletic figures, and just that tendency to miss -the perfect whole by an over-anxious care for detail. The date for such -work is 250 and not 300 B.C. The Chiaramonti Niobid[84] is a work of -similar tendency though of a different school, and must fall about the -same date. - -We now possess some evidence for the continuous study and development -of female drapery at Rhodes parallel to the study and development of -the male form. The Rhodian school is in fact the most industrious and -the most scientific of all the Hellenistic art centres. In mastery of -detail they are unapproachable, but they have ceased to care much for -motive or idealism in their subjects. To such art both impressionism -and romantic feeling are foreign. Rhodian art is very versatile and -very straightforward, but its constant aspiration after the unusual -renders it in the end monotonous. - -The earlier and later periods of Rhodian art are separated by the -quarrel with Rome and consequent loss of the land-empire in 167 B.C. -This ended the real independence of Rhodes, and with it disappeared -the inventive genius of her artists. She continued for another century -to be the great and almost the sole centre of art production, for both -Pergamon and Alexandria now lost all artistic importance, but she -ceased to develop and originate. The works of her second period are -brilliant in the extreme, but they are no longer vital and progressive. - -It is significant that the best-known works of this period are great -groups rather than single statues. We may notice the Laocoon group, the -Farnese Bull, the ‘Pasquino’ of Ajax and Patroclos, the Scylla group, -and the group of Odysseus with the Cyclops. Of these the earliest is -perhaps the Farnese Bull,[85] which we possess in an Antonine copy at -Naples from the Baths of Caracalla. It represents the punishment of -Dirce by Zethos and Amphion for her cruelty to their mother Antiope. -The two heroes hold the bull, to whose horns they are about to tie -the unfortunate Dirce. It was made by Apollonios and Tauriskos of -Tralles, and brought from Rhodes to Rome by Asinius Pollio. The date -can be fixed by a comparison of inscriptions to about the year 130 -B.C. Tauriskos’ son has signed a base at Magnesia about 100 B.C. Both -Tauriskos and Apollonios were adopted by Menecrates, son of Menecrates, -one of the artists of the Pergamon frieze. But in examining the group -we must beware of the Roman additions and restorations, which include -nearly all the landscape details together with the figure of Antiope -and the mountain god. The head of Zethos is a portrait of Caracalla. -The group has been adapted to act as a centre-piece for the great hall -of the Baths of Caracalla, and consequently has been made square. -Even in its original form, however, it must have been a good example -of all-round sculpture. The figures are Lysippic, and the lower part -of Dirce, which is the only antique part of her, shows more archaic -drapery than usual. This is only what we might expect from an art -which has passed its prime. Novelty of treatment is no longer a first -essential. Tauriskos also made figures called Hermerotes. These must -have been herm figures with an Eros head similar to a statue in -the courtyard of the Conservatori Museum, and comparable with the -Hermathena, which belonged to Cicero. Herms of all kinds became very -popular in Greco-Roman art, and we see here in Rhodes perhaps the first -development of the old archaistic Dionysos herms into more modern -studies. - -Another dramatic group similar to that of the Farnese Bull and the -Laocoon was the lost group by Aristonides of Rhodes, showing Athamas in -remorse for the murder of his son, Learchos. Pliny tells a foolish tale -that the sculptor mixed iron with the copper in order to portray the -blush of shame, a story told also about the Jocasta of Silanion. - -A little figure of Odysseus (Fig. 35) in the Chiaramonti gallery of -the Vatican holding out a bowl of wine to the Cyclops must be part -of another mythological group of this period. The movement and action -of the hero are typically Rhodian, and his face corresponds to the -Rhodian type. The rest of the group is lost. The group of Scylla and -the sailors of Odysseus is represented only by a much mutilated and -fragmentary copy in Oxford, which gives us little information. - -We have more copies of the well-known Pasquino group of Menelaos -or Ajax and Patroclos. There are fragments in the Vatican, and a -well-preserved replica in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence (Fig. 36). -Here again the extraordinary interest in anatomical forms is shown not -only in the strain and twist of the living hero--the invariable twist -of all these Rhodian figures--but in the admirable contrast between the -vivid living body and the relaxed corpse. This contrasting of physical -and mental conditions is a part of the dramatic feeling in later -Rhodian art, which has quite abandoned its earlier simplicity and has -followed on the lines of _baroque_ extravagance laid down by the second -Pergamene school. - -[Illustration: 35] - -[Illustration: 36] - -Of all the groups the best known and the most instructive is the -latest of all, the Laocoon.[86] In this marvellous group we see the -full development of the effect of strained agony on the human form, -and we see the mature form contrasted both with an active youth’s body -and with the semi-inanimate body of the younger boy. When we have -removed the restorations and lowered the right arm of Laocoon nearer -to his head, we get a perfect group-design unified by the terrible -serpent-coils and by the central theme of agony. The torso muscles -of Laocoon are fully developed and even exaggerated, though not to -the same extent as those of the Pergamene frieze, but the boys’ forms -are simpler, and all reflect the basic principles of Rhodian art -already enumerated. Pain is shown by the downward sloping eyebrows with -sharp interior angles, by the half-closed eyes, wrinkled forehead, and -parted lips. The hair is wild, and all the veins of the body stand out -sharply. The twist above the waist occurs in all three bodies. It is -interesting to notice that even in the Laocoon, the latest work of the -most scientific school of Greek sculpture, anatomical accuracy is still -lacking. The lower curve of the ribs above the abdomen follows a line -impossible in nature, and the left thumb of the elder son is provided -with three joints instead of the normal two. Neither the Laocoon nor -any one of the other Rhodian groups is perfectly satisfactory to modern -taste. There is too much strain, too much agony, too little relief or -repose. Every inch of the group is illustrative of pain and passion. -Our sense of sympathy is deadened by excessive emphasis and repetition. -But in technical skill the group has never been surpassed. - -A close parallel to the head of the Laocoon is found in the bearded -centaur of the pair made by Aristeas and Papias of Aphrodisias (Fig. -38). Copies of this statue existing in the Capitol and in the Louvre -show the despair of the elderly victim of love in the guise of a -centaur tormented by a little Eros on his back. The companion figure -(Fig. 37) is young and delights in the persuasions of his rider. -This group of rather obvious allegory belongs to the Antonine age, -but the resemblance to the Laocoon proves a first-century original, -which is interesting because it is one of the earliest examples of a -corresponding pair of statues clearly designed for house decoration. -The growth of ‘cabinet pieces’, as opposed to temple or national -dedications, now develops into the whole mass of furniture sculpture -in the shape of candelabra, table-legs, consoles, decorative herms, -&c., which mark the imperial age. - -The school of Rhodes ends in extraordinary brilliance. There is nothing -decadent in its technique, nothing paltry in its conceptions. We have -seen the very pure and slightly finicky naturalism of the early third -century give way to a rather more _baroque_ extravagance in detail, -but in neither its earlier nor its later stage did the purest of the -Hellenistic schools affect the exaggerations of Alexandria or Pergamon. -In Rhodes, at any rate, the steady development of Greek sculpture -reached its perfect and logical conclusion. We have seen it start -with a great idealism and no technique at all. In the fifth century -technique and idealism are almost equally balanced. In the Laocoon the -last word of technical perfection is spoken, but there is no idealism -at all, only a man and two boys writhing in the grasp of serpents. It -is not photographic naturalism, but it is histrionic, artificial, and -dead. We cannot believe in the Laocoon as we believe in the Hermes of -Praxiteles. - -[Illustration: 37] - -[Illustration: 38] - - - - -IV - -THE MAINLAND SCHOOLS DURING THE HELLENISTIC AGE - - -While the full tide of artistic development was running in the new -societies of Pergamon, Rhodes, and Alexandria, the Greek mainland -became a backwater. The rise of the kingdoms meant the decline of -the old autonomous city states. Athens in particular fell into the -background on account of her uncompromising hostility to the power of -Macedonia. In spite of some brief periods of revival, her destiny was -for the future rarely in her own hands, and her political subordination -seems to have reacted with great rapidity upon her artistic output. She -remained for another century after the death of Alexander the home of -philosophy, but her art began to revive only after the Roman conquest, -in a new form, which will require later consideration. Here at least -the Hellenistic age is a period of rapid decadence and decline. - -The Peloponnese is in much the same position. The pupils of Lysippos -found their best clients abroad, and left no successors of importance -at home. The political loss of power was here intensified by a growing -poverty. The new wealth which began to pour into Europe as the result -of the conquest of Asia went either to Macedonia or to those states -which had sent mercenaries to Alexander’s army. The future prosperity -of Greece was in the hands of Arcadia, Achaia, and Aetolia rather than -Argos, Sparta, and Sikyon. The new states had few artistic traditions, -and the old states had no means of gratifying theirs. The inevitable -result was a great decline in artistic output as well as in artistic -skill. Almost the only sphere left for sculpture was the erection of -formal honorary statues to distinguished or wealthy individuals, a type -of work which does not beget great art. - -[Illustration: 39] - -[Illustration: 40] - -[Illustration: 41] - -The first half of the third century was a period of very good work in -portraiture, which is, however, a subject by itself. The Demosthenes -of Polyeuctes is dated about 280 B.C., and the statues of Aeschines, -Aristotle, and others show the existence of an admirable school of -portrait sculptors at this time in Athens. But ideal sculpture shows -a sad falling-off. The Themis of Chairestratos (Fig. 40) belongs -approximately to this period, and it is marked by a great formality, -not only in pose but in the treatment of hair and drapery. The -classical period of sculpture in Athens was followed by what we must -call an academic period. The foreign schools were developing on lines -of naturalism, but at home sculptors tended merely to formalize -the work of the fourth-century masters, and to produce statues of -mechanical correctness without any vitality at all. We have seen the -beginning of this tendency in the drapery system of the followers of -Praxiteles. It now affects the whole of Attic sculpture. Old types -are adopted again and again, until they become purely mechanical. -Drapery styles are similarly used up, and the increasing formality of -every department stifles entirely the possibilities of originality. -The Hermes of Andros (Fig. 39) is a good example of this kind of -crystallization of types. The statue was found in connexion with a -tomb, and it is clearly a memorial statue. Its companion was a female -figure reproducing exactly the pose and drapery of the draped -female figure from Herculaneum at Dresden. The date would seem to be -late third century. The Hermes itself is a replica of a type known in -the Antinous of the Belvedere and other statues, and is a product of -the Praxitelean school, like the Dresden figure. But the influence -of Praxiteles is not alone in it. We have a clear use of Lysippic -proportions and some Lysippic influence in the head. This eclecticism -is an invariable mark of archaistic art. The sculptor, who has no new -message of his own to deliver, looks back to antiquity for his types, -but does not imitate one statue directly. The only form of originality -which he is able to use is originality of combination and selection. -Consequently he absorbs details from several artists and produces -work which we label Lysippo-Scopaic, or Lysippo-Praxitelean, &c. We -have seen how the late fourth-century artists in Asia Minor combined -characteristics of Scopas and Praxiteles. The late fourth-century -and third-century Attic artists made use of all their predecessors, -and produced statues in which we can detect the _disiecta membra_ of -half a dozen styles. At the same time we may recognize the general -predominance of Praxitelean tradition over that of the other artists -and a universal predilection for marble instead of bronze. - -One of the most interesting Hellenistic works of the Attic school is -the bronze figure from Anticythera,[87] which is still the subject of -much dispute. It is a typical piece of eclecticism. The pose and twist -of the shoulder and upper part of the torso are Lysippic, while the -head is a mixture of Praxiteles and Scopas. The result, as might be -expected, is somewhat inharmonious. In shape and profile the head is -mainly Praxitelean, and therefore on its discovery it was acclaimed -as a Praxitelean original. But looking from the front we at once see -the resemblance to the Scopaic Meleager type,[88] with its broad head, -slight chin, and fringe of short upright locks like little flames. The -head, and indeed the whole statue, is not unlike the bronze athlete of -Ephesos,[89] which has the same hair and facial type, together with a -similar rather heavy Lysippic body. This heaviness of the torso in both -statues shows that the Lysippic ideal is not followed directly, but -rather the Attic version of it as used in the Agias of Delphi.[90] - -Another Attico-Lysippic figure is preserved for us in a number of -replicas, of which the two best known are the Hermes from Atalanta in -Athens (Fig. 41) and the Hermes Richelieu in the Louvre. Here again -Lysippic proportions are combined with a rather heavier Attic torso in -a whole which lacks something of harmony and repose. The work has been -referred back to a Lysippic original, but it seems more likely that -it is an Attic adaptation of the eclectic school now springing into -existence. The Attic grave reliefs give us good information about Attic -art down to the end of the fourth century, but Demetrios of Phaleron -prohibited them for sumptuary reasons in 309 B.C., and in future we -have no such good guide to Attic art. Eclecticism is, however, pretty -clear in the later examples which we do possess. The votive reliefs -from the Asklepieion throw some light on the third century, but they -are not on a sufficiently large scale to be very instructive. - -[Illustration: 42] - -In Greece at all times professions tended to run in one family, and -we have already seen examples of families of sculptors, such as -that of Praxiteles, in which the craft was handed down from father -to son for generations. The Hellenistic age is full of evidence for -this phenomenon in Athens and elsewhere. Rhodes in particular gives -us detailed families of sculptors, since we are better provided -with inscriptions in Rhodes than in other centres. In Hellenistic -Athens two such families are worthy of notice. Polykles, whom we -may call Polykles I, had two sons, Timokles and Timarchides I; the -latter had two sons, Polykles II and Dionysios; and Polykles II had -a son, Timarchides II. These are known to us from literature or from -inscriptions, and they cover more or less the second century B.C. It -is a question to which member of the house we are to ascribe the very -famous bronze Hermaphrodite mentioned by Pliny,[91] or whether it -should be referred to an earlier artist of the same name in the fourth -century.[92] A further question is involved in the identification of -the Hermaphrodite, since it is commonly assumed that the Sleeping -Hermaphrodite (Fig. 42), far the most famous type now extant in -numerous copies, must have had a marble and not a bronze original. The -statue of Polykles is identified with the Berlin Hermaphrodite[93] -by those who would give him a fourth-century date; with a bronze in -Epinal[94] by those who associate him with Hellenistic art. The Berlin -Hermaphrodite is of Praxitelean type; the Epinal bronze resembles -rather what we have called the Pergamene type of the Turning Satyr and -the Aphrodite Kallipygos. The question is a difficult one, but we may -safely exclude Polykles II. Timarchides I, his father, and Dionysios, -his brother, worked on statues of a marked academic tendency. The C. -Ofellius of Delos was the work of his brother, a statue of purely -mechanical taste. This Polykles is not likely to have originated a -great and famous statue. Polykles I worked as early as 200, a much -better period for original work. He is a more likely candidate for the -authorship of the type, if we suppose it to have resembled either the -Epinal bronze or the Sleeping Hermaphrodite. On _a priori_ grounds -of its great popularity one would distinctly prefer to connect the -latter with the statue mentioned by Pliny. It is true that it looks -like a marble statue and not a bronze one, but a marble replica which -served as the prototype for marble copies is by no means an impossible -suggestion. But this Sleeping Hermaphrodite is a work of distinctly -Pergamene tendency, intended to bring out the artist’s skill in the -rendering of soft sensual forms. It would seem to belong to an earlier -date than 200 or even 250. The Epinal bronze implies a similar date, -and therefore we are left with a double difficulty. The best Polykles -for our purpose seems to be fifty years too late for either of the -types we require. We are, therefore, driven to suppose an intermediate -Polykles about 270 B.C. In any case we must infer a reaction of -Pergamene influence on the academic art of third-century Athens, but it -was a solitary example which seems to have left no heritage to later -artists. - -[Illustration: 43] - -[Illustration: 44] - -The sculptor family best known to us from inscriptions is that of -Eucheir and Euboulides. We know of at least two representatives of each -name, Eucheir I about 220, Euboulides I about 190, Eucheir II about -160, and Euboulides II thirty years later. The first Euboulides made a -statue of Chrysophis, the second Eucheir athletes and warriors, and -a marble Hermes at Pheneos. The second Euboulides is more important, -for he was the author of a great monument outside the Dipylon Gate, -considerable fragments of which have been recovered. - -These fragments are our main evidence for the art of Athens in the -second half of the second century B.C., and they show us that the -academic art of the second half of the third century has followed out -its natural development. The figures of Victory (Fig. 43) and Athena -(Fig. 44), which have partially survived, are grandiose without being -noble or effective. There is a distinct attempt to absorb some of the -exaggerated idealism of the second Pergamene school; there is also an -effort to recover some of the simplicity and grandeur of Pheidias; -but the result is a staid and rather mechanical classicism, which is -made only a little more obvious by the larger size of the figures. The -Athena head, with its straightforward gaze, archaistic hair, large, -wide-open eyes, and round, heavy chin is distinctly Pheidian; the -Victory in rapid movement with head turned to the side is more affected -by Pergamene art. Her drapery shows a curious combination of naturalism -and formalism in the folds at the girdle; each individual set of folds -is well studied from nature; but the repetition of a similar set right -round the body is purely mechanical. The group is a good example of the -limitations of the Attic artist at the end of his development. The next -century sees a totally different activity. - -In the Peloponnese we have a great gap after the pupils of Lysippos, -a gap devoid of any evidence either literary or monumental. During -the whole of the third century it would be difficult to point to any -Peloponnesian art on a scale deserving of attention. But the second -century opens with a name of some importance, Damophon of Messene. -We are in the rare and fortunate position of possessing undoubted -originals from his hand in the great group of Lycosura. These are -practically our sole monumental evidence for the Hellenistic art -of the Peloponnese.[95] The date of Damophon is now established by -inscriptions for the first half of the second century B.C., and a -number of his works are more or less attested by coin-types. He had a -considerable vogue in the last generation before the Roman conquest, -and his leading position is evidenced by the commission he received to -restore the Olympian Zeus. It may have been his hand which touched up -and restored the corner figures of the west pediment of the temple. - -The great group of Lycosura represented Demeter and Kore enthroned -between standing figures of Artemis and a Titan Anytos. It survives -in three heads and numerous fragments of limbs and drapery, and its -conjectural restoration has been recently undertaken (Fig. 45). The -discovery of a coin representing the group on its reverse goes far to -justify the proposed design.[96] - -[Illustration: 45] - -The group is interesting from many points of view, but mainly from -the flood of light which it throws on the methods of Peloponnesian -sculpture at the very close of its development. It thus forms a -complementary picture to the remains of the monument of Euboulides -in Athens. Damophon, like Euboulides, underwent the influence of -Pergamon. The colossal scale of his group and the wild hair of his -giant Anytos (Fig. 46) demonstrate the influence of the altar -frieze. Damophon also went back to Pheidias for inspiration. He must -have absorbed many lessons from his work at Olympia. The seated group -of his goddesses is reminiscent of the two figures next to ‘Theseus’ -in the west pediment of the Parthenon. The simple wide-eyed grave -expression of his Demeter head goes back to the fifth-century ideal, -while his Artemis (Fig. 47) wears the melon-coiffure associated with -the school of Praxiteles. The attitudes of Artemis and Anytos are -Lysippic. Here we have every evidence of academic eclecticism. The -same feature is borne out by three coins which reproduce the statues -of Damophon. His Asklepios at Aigion gives us a fourth-century type. -He copied the Laphria of Patras for Messene. His Herakles in the guise -of an Idaean Dactyl at Megalopolis seems to have been a variant of the -now fashionable herm figures and to copy a Hermerakles type known by -numerous extant examples. - -Damophon’s style then was academic and eclectic, borrowing from all -sources of inspiration and in general using up over again well-known -groups and poses. His execution is even more interesting for its -extraordinary inequality. His heads are on the whole very good. The -Demeter is a dull piece of work, but both the Anytos and the Artemis -show some fancy and some power of original expression. The girl is -demure and cheerful, the giant benevolent and rather sly. But when we -come to examine the execution of the fragments of the bodies and limbs -which survive at Lycosura, we find a very hasty and poor technical -ability. The arms and legs are nearly shapeless. They are colossal, -but practically formal in design, and details of muscles and sinews -are almost entirely omitted. The drapery makes some effort to follow -Pheidian designs, but it is poorly carved and without effect. Only in -one direction does the artist show any skill, and that is in the great -embroidered veil (Fig. 48) worn by Despoina. This is an extraordinary -_tour de force_, not for its sculptural effect, which is purely -formal, but for the reproduction of a complicated embroidered design -in very low relief. A border of tassels with bands of design about it -and large embroidered figures of Victory above the bands is rendered -with consummate art. We have a frieze of sea-monsters, nymphs, and -Erotes according to a common Hellenistic design, a curious local dance -of beast figures in human dress, a dance paralleled by some small -terra-cotta figures found in the same shrine, and the larger figures of -Victory above carrying candelabra. - -It is interesting to see the total want of proportion in the artist’s -mind, who could devote so much time and originality to a comparatively -unimportant piece of decoration, while treating the main lines of -his drapery with carelessness and monotony. It is probable that we -have here a procedure to be noticed in the Demeter of Cnidos--a head -done with great care and placed on a torso of inferior execution. -While Damophon worked the heads of all the figures and the drapery -of Despoina, he must have left the rest of his group to a band of -journeymen assistants. We know from inscriptions that Damophon had two -sons, Xenophilos and another whose name is lost. It is, therefore, -possible that Xenophilos and Straton, the Argive sculptors, were his -sons. Their subjects were similar, and their Asklepios, as shown on a -coin, is identical with Damophon’s. - -[Illustration: 46] - -[Illustration: 47] - -[Illustration: 48] - -Thus Greek sculpture on the mainland came to a somewhat inglorious -and academic conclusion with the Roman conquest in 146 B.C. We may -examine one more centre of artistic work before leaving it, since it -forms a link between Greece and Ionia, between the declining schools of -the mainland and the vigorous art of Pergamon and Rhodes. - -Melos has left us several Hellenistic statues of interest. The -Aphrodite of the Louvre and the Poseidon in Athens are their most -important representatives. The Poseidon (Fig. 49) is a typical work -of histrionic _bravura_ under the influence of the second Pergamene -school. He stands in a defiant and dramatic attitude as if summoning -his adversaries to combat, and his burly hair and beard recall the -giants of the altar. But an eclectic taste is visible here also. His -pose is Lysippic, and his restrained torso owes more to Rhodes than -Pergamon. Melos is a meeting-point of trade-routes, in which many -artistic currents must have come together. - -The Aphrodite of Melos[97] has attained a somewhat undeserved position -as one of the world’s masterpieces of sculpture. Splendid piece of work -as it is, it has most of the faults of its period. Much controversy has -raged even over the actual facts of the discovery of this statue, but -there appears to be no reason to doubt that the inscribed base, which -was found with it and brought perhaps later to Paris, is part of it, -and contains the true record of its author ...sandros from Antioch on -the Maeander.[98] This base has been lost, but drawings and statements -exist to show that it fitted the actual base. The missing fragment had -a rectangular hole on the upper surface, in which some additional -attribute was fitted. The restoration of this missing piece of the -base with its hole disposes of the theories occasionally ventilated -that the statue was one of a pair. The hole is not the socket for -fastening a statue, nor will it hold one of the small herms which -were found with the Aphrodite. Its true significance has been pointed -out by Furtwängler by analogy with several other statues and designs, -including one from Melos and one actual copy of the Aphrodite herself. -It served for the fastening of a slender column or stele on which the -goddess rested her left elbow. A beautiful little fourth-century bronze -in Dresden shows a similar motive. The restoration of the figure is -now easy. With her right hand the goddess held or was about to hold -her drapery to prevent it from slipping; her left elbow rested on the -pillar, and her left hand, palm upwards, held an apple. This hand -holding the apple was actually found with the statue, and undoubtedly -belongs to it, as well as a piece of the upper left arm. The other hand -found at the same time is alien and on a larger scale. The position of -the hand, palm upwards, is certified by the unworked back, which would -be invisible. The apple of course is a frequent symbol of Aphrodite, -and particularly appropriate in the island to which it gave its name. - -[Illustration: 49] - -[Illustration: 50] - -The Aphrodite was found in a niche or exedra, which was dedicated by -one Bacchios with a second-century inscription. The base inscription -of ...sandros, whose name we may guess to have been Agesandros, is -also second century, and therefore we cannot hesitate to accept a date -about 180–160 B.C. for the Aphrodite, especially as its style and -technique are indubitably of that period. The pose may be described as -reminiscent of Lysippos with its opposing lines of shoulders and -hips and twist of the body above the waist. The head-type is Scopaic, -but only Scopaic at second-hand, since the influence of Pergamon -is much clearer. If we compare the head with the head of the girl -in Berlin from Pergamon,[99] or with the Pergamon Hermaphrodite in -Constantinople,[100] we see an identical treatment of hair, identical -head-shape, and the same type of features in almost every detail. -The drapery is interesting for yet another source of inspiration. -Its division into flattish panels separated by groups of deeply-cut -waving folds is in the manner of Pheidias and the late fifth century, -while the naturalistic little detail on the right hip, where the lower -folds are caught up and radiate from a single point, is thoroughly -Hellenistic. - -The style of the statue as well as its technique is clear proof of its -date. The attitude of the goddess has no discernible motive. There -is no reason why she should be half naked, or why she should twist -her body round so violently from the hips. There is no explanation -why her drapery should stay up at all in so insecure a position, or -why her left foot should be raised higher than her right. But if we -compare for a moment the Melian Aphrodite with the Capuan Venus in -Naples (Fig. 50), a statue in a nearly identical position, all these -points are explained. The Capuan Venus is half naked, because she is -admiring her beauty in the mirror of the shield of Ares. She is twisted -so as to look at herself in the shield and yet display her body to -the spectator--in itself a Hellenistic device. Her drapery is held -up, because the shield-edge holds it against her left hip; her foot -is raised, because it rests on Ares’ helmet and thereby gives better -support to the shield. The attitude of the Melian goddess is clumsy and -stiff, because it has no motive; that of the Capuan is graceful and -effective, because its motive is clear. - -Now it is noteworthy that the many examples of this type in our -possession are all copies of the Capuan and not of the Melian figure. -This is clear from the direction of the drapery folds, which differs -in the Melian from all the other figures. The history of the type is -thereby made clear. It was an early Hellenistic or late fourth-century -statue of the Armed Aphrodite, possibly the cult statue, which -appears in identical pose on coins of Corinth. Itself a typical -_genre_ adaptation of a very early myth, it at once gained favour and -was much copied, especially in Roman times. The Melian goddess was -a second-century Hellenistic copy, but not a mere copy, rather an -adaptation of the earlier prototype to a figure more suitable for Melos -itself. Unfortunately the artist was unable to make the pose suit his -new scheme properly. We get another adaptation in the Augustan age in -the shape of the Victory of Brescia inscribing a roll of the dead on -the shield,[101] and finally, in the second century and later, we get a -crowd of copies much closer to the original, of which the Capuan Venus -is the best. - -The history of the Melian Aphrodite throws much light on the -Hellenistic art of the mainland and its neighbouring islands. We -see its artists bankrupt of new ideas, and able only to adapt -older conceptions to new requirements with a series of eclectic -modifications. The Aphrodite is a close parallel to the monuments -of Damophon and Euboulides, although its artist is admittedly a -better sculptor. All three show a poverty of new ideas, but a strong -reaction against the excesses of the later Pergamene school. They are, -therefore, forced to look backward and make up new conceptions out of a -medley of older details. It is of the utmost importance that we should -remember this state of mind when we come to deal with Greco-Roman art. - - - - -V - -GRECO-ROMAN SCULPTURE - - -We have now completed our survey of Greek sculpture on the mainland, -and in connexion with the eastern kingdoms which Greece absorbed as -conqueror. We have yet one other aspect to consider: Greek sculpture -in connexion with the Roman world of the west, by which Greece was -conquered. ‘Conquered Greece led her conqueror captive,’ and while -Greek civilization as a whole strongly modified the Italic civilization -by which it was overthrown, Greek art in particular established its -mastery over the inartistic nation which supplanted it. We have many -accounts of how Roman connoisseurs filled their galleries with Greek -statues. Mummius, Aemilius Paulus, Verres, Cicero, Sulla, Asinius -Pollio, were all robbers or purchasers of Greek sculpture, and by the -time of Pompey and Caesar the great market for Greek sculpture was -in Rome. The demand exceeded the supply of antique marbles, enormous -as the supply must have been, for the systematic plundering of the -great shrines belongs to a later date. And as the Roman noble could -not be accommodated with originals, he had to content himself with -copies. Doubtless few of the collectors could tell the difference. -Rhodes continued to turn out original sculpture until the time of -Augustus, but Pergamon and Alexandria had long sunk into decay. It -was, therefore, the opportunity for a new school of artists to arise -in Athens, an opportunity which was promptly taken. Athens and Delos, -Ephesos, and later Aphrodisias, became great centres of the new -industry, which was primarily commercial. There was no longer any talk -of idealism or of votive offerings to deities. The necessity was to -turn out quantities of work suitable to the Roman taste. - -Greco-Roman sculpture falls into three clear divisions. There are -copies pure and simple like the Delian Diadumenos, a straightforward -replica of the masterpiece of Polykleitos; there are adaptations of -earlier work like those turned out by the school of Pasiteles and -Arcesilaos; and there are, finally, new works, mostly in relief, -which have been termed Neo-Attic, and which represent a new artistic -development based on an elegant and artificial archaism. Athens is the -centre of all this art, and she thus recovers in the first century B.C. -the position which she had lost for so long. - -The direct copies of this age need not be considered here. Direct -copying from the antique as distinguished from adaptation is a new -feature very eloquent of the poverty of original ideas both in the -buyer and seller of statues. But it is important to realize that -the Roman market made sculpture for the first time a really paying -business, and therefore saved it from the possibility of extinction. -Had it not been for the new Attic school of sculptors, who sprang up -in the two preceding generations, it is hard to see how Augustus could -have secured the workmen for his great Roman buildings, which formed -the basis of a fresh artistic development in Roman imperial sculpture. -The copies of this period are the best and most faithful which we -possess. They have still some vitality of their own, and are not the -dead and soulless caricatures produced by a later age. - -But in addition to their copying work the latest generation of Attic -artists busied themselves with free adaptations from the antique on -lines laid down by contemporary art. These productions are to be -distinguished both from purely archaistic works, which copy the style -as well as the poses of ancient sculpture, and from works like the -Aphrodite of Melos, which make a wide selection from ancient styles -and poses. Statues such as the Farnese Herakles of Glycon,[102] the -Apollo Belvedere,[103] or the Artemis of Versailles,[104] are not -eclectic at all; they are older types taken over and translated into -modern style. They show less originality than the Melian goddess, -because there is no real change of pose or of meaning. An old statue -is simply worked out with a new technique. Thus the Farnese Herakles -gives a Hellenistic rendering of a statue by Lysippos, while the -Apollo Belvedere is perhaps a new version of a work by Leochares. The -former attempts to render the massive strength of the hero by immense -exaggeration of muscular development in a style worse than anything -perpetrated at Pergamon. The latter attempts to outdo the elegance of -its original by an ultra-refinement of surface in every direction, -and by an affected stage-pose and gesture. In both cases we see the -effect of commercialism on art, for the artist no longer works on -his own high standard of achievement. He is bound by the tastes of -the patrons for whom he caters, and the uneducated Roman buyer liked -to see strength shown by mighty muscles and refinement by daintiness -of gesture. Both the Herakles of Glycon and the Apollo Belvedere are -fine pieces of sculpture, but as works of art they are little short of -abominable. We have no evidence about the original of the Artemis of -Versailles, a statue of somewhat similar type to the Apollo. We may -notice how the little fold of drapery above the left knee is turned -up without any justification simply for the purpose of displaying the -outline of the leg. The Medici Venus in Florence[105] is an adaptation -of the later version of the Praxitelean nude Aphrodite, the Capitoline -rather than the Cnidian type. It is also an Attic work of this period, -finely executed, but adding a yet further degradation to the Capitoline -version by the additional elegance of its gestures. - -The Torso Belvedere (Fig. 52) is another Attic work of great technical -ability. Its prototype is unknown, and considerable controversy exists -about its meaning and correct restoration. It is a seated figure with -head and upper torso turned sharply towards its left, a position which -suggests a Lysippic original. The massive musculature of the torso -recalls Glycon’s Herakles, but the influence here is more Rhodian than -Pergamene. One of the most popular suggestions[106] for its restoration -makes it a Polyphemos shading his eyes with one hand, as he looks out -for Galatea, and holding a club in the other. A similar type is known -from wall paintings. No agreement on this point has, however, been -reached. - -Works of this quality of technique, even if uninspired by high artistic -feeling, show how greatly the Attic school has improved since the -days of Euboulides. In sculpture the skill of the workman depends -largely on the popularity of, and demand for, his work. The new vogue -of sculpture soon produced a high standard of technical efficiency. -But if Greco-Roman art remained wholly and unalterably Greek, Greece -itself was not allowed the monopoly of its production. During the -early years of the first century two Greek artists transferred their -business to Rome itself, and initiated thereby a new school of -Hellenistic sculpture. These were Pasiteles and Arcesilaos, names of -high importance for Greek art. - -[Illustration: 51] - -[Illustration: 52] - -[Illustration: 53] - -Pasiteles was an artist of great versatility and scientific -attainments. He wrote a work on Greek art in five books, which served -as a primary authority for Pliny.[107] He was a goldsmith and a metal -worker, and his range of sculptural subjects was very wide. He is known -to have paid special attention to the sculpture of animals, and it -is recorded that he studied a lion from life at the Roman docks. He -seems also to have been the originator of a device, which did much to -injure the later development of marble sculpture.[108] Bronze workers -had always had to prepare clay models usually finished in wax after -the invention of the _cire perdue_ process; metal workers of all kinds -had need of the same preparation; but in marble sculpture the use of -models had hitherto been confined to pedimental designs or similar -productions prepared by great artists and worked out by masons. The -effect on architectural sculpture had usually been unfortunate. It is -expressly told us of Pasiteles that he always made use of clay models -for all his work, that is, including his marble sculpture. It was, -no doubt, inevitable in a commercial age, where copies were in great -request, and where several replicas were made of the one original, that -the use of clay models designed by the master and copied in marble by -pupils and workmen should become general. The ultimate results of such -a procedure were destructive to the whole art; for workshops came -to possess a stock of models and to turn out machine-made copies on -demand. The finished statue became merely the work of masons untouched -by the original master, who devoted himself entirely to the preparation -of models and designs. The sculptor’s workshop instead of being a -studio degenerated into a factory. No doubt Pasiteles himself was an -artist who did much original work, but in the hands of his pupils and -followers statue-making was a mere trade. Unfortunately the works of -his school, which survive for us, are almost wholly these mechanical -and commercial by-products. The works of real fancy and charm have -almost wholly disappeared. Many of the Hellenistic reliefs, especially -those of the Palazzo Spada type, are to be attributed to the Greek -sculptors in Rome. These show an elegance and a dainty affectation -quite in keeping with the spirit of the age. The group of Appiades -(Fig. 51) by Stephanos,[109] a pupil of Pasiteles, has been recognized -in the group of three nude girls holding up a water-pot, now in the -Louvre.[110] The Three Graces are also a conception of this age. Neat -competent work of a decorative type seems to sum up the original -achievements of this school, which fall more or less in line with the -Neo-Attic reliefs shortly to be considered. - -But most of our remains of the school of Pasiteles belong to a -different class of statue, best illustrated by the athlete of -Stephanos, Pasiteles’ pupil, in the Villa Albani (Fig. 53). All periods -of art which are bankrupt in new ideas tend to be archaistic; the -Greco-Roman school looked backwards for all its inspiration; but while -Neo-Attics found their models in Ionian art of the sixth century, -the pupils of Pasiteles studied their larger sculpture mainly in -the light of the early fifth-century Argive school. The athlete of -Stephanos shows the proportions, the stiff pose, and the surface -treatment of the pre-Polykleitan types of Ageladas. He is comparable -with the Ligourio bronze[111] or the Acropolis ephebe[112] of Kritios -for all his Lysippic slenderness and later expression. The type was -immensely popular and may have originated with Pasiteles himself. We -have it in single examples and combined in groups, as in the Orestes -and Electra of Naples,[113] where the companion figure is female, or in -the Ildefonso group[114] where it is combined with another male statue. -All these figures are copied from early fifth-century art, though the -signs of eclectic archaism are sufficiently clear. If we examine the -so-called Electra of Naples, we see an archaic early fifth-century -head together with a pose approaching the Praxitelean, transparent -drapery of the style of Alkamenes, and a low girdle and uncovered -shoulder reminiscent of Pergamon. The group of Menelaos,[115] a pupil -of Stephanos, in the Terme Museum, is a less archaic-looking and a -more satisfactory work. Fifth century in detail, in style it reminds -us rather of the fourth-century grave reliefs. To the same period, or -perhaps a later one, belongs the idea of grouping well-known statues -originally separate. Thus we have in the Capitol a group of the Melian -Venus with the Ares Borghese.[116] This actual group, however, belongs -to a much later time. - -Arcesilaos was another well-known sculptor of the age, a friend of -Pompey and Caesar. The Venus Genetrix of the Louvre[117] was made for -the House of the Julii. It bears its fifth-century origin clearly -stamped on its style. Arcesilaos also was a great provider of clay -models, which he sold outright to workshops for manufacturing purposes, -so that a finished statue might have never been seen by the artist -responsible for its design. A series of herms in the Terme Museum[118] -show a strong archaistic tendency towards fifth-century models, but -bear also in details of pose and drapery the clear stamp of the -Greco-Roman age. Statues of this type were intended for the decoration -of Roman palaces. They are no longer self-sufficing works of art, but -are subject to the general demands of artistic decoration. - -This brings us to the third division of Greco-Roman sculpture, in -reality its most original contribution to the history of Greek art: -the Neo-Attic reliefs,[119] all of which are primarily decorative in -their purpose. The works with which we have hitherto dealt--the Apollo -Belvedere, the Torso Belvedere, or the Venus Genetrix--have all been -eclectic in style, and consequently have lacked the sense of harmony -or uniformity, which is one of the conditions of great sculpture. The -same criticism applies to all the sculpture of the mainland in the -Hellenistic age. On the other hand the schools of Pergamon, Rhodes, -and Alexandria attained a uniformity of style, and consequently were -enabled to produce masterpieces of art. Their works can be attributed -to a school, because they contain common elements of style and -technique based on a common theory of art. This community of purpose -has been wholly lacking in the works of Euboulides, Damophon, and the -Melian artists, and only partially felt in the works of Pasiteles -and Arcesilaos. All these artists were individualists selecting and -combining at their own will and pleasure. The Neo-Attic artists are -quite different. Their names are immaterial, because their works all -bear the impress of precisely the same style. There is no chance -of mistaking a Neo-Attic work; its origin is clear in every line. -These reliefs represent the last true school of Greek sculpture, the -last monuments in which a common line of development can be studied -unaffected by individual idiosyncrasies. They are strongly archaistic, -but in spite of this they are essentially modern. They neither copy the -antique exactly, nor adapt it to existing modes as the followers of -Pasiteles did. They rather invent a new mode and a new style in art, -but they make use of archaic technical details for its expression. -Their art is essentially artificial and symbolic, so that they -represent a reaction against the academic classicism of the period; -but it is also meticulous in detail, so that it can merit no reproach -of a loose impressionism. The Neo-Attic artists of the first century -B.C. are really the pre-Raphaelites of Greek art, and Rossetti and -Burne-Jones are the nearest parallel to them in later art history. - -Their reliefs are all decorative in purpose, for the adornment of -altars, candelabra, fountains, well-heads, or wall-panels; and -therefore they are not unnaturally attracted by the most decorative of -all the archaic schools, the late Ionian or Attic-Ionian art of the -end of the sixth century. They make use also of later models, of the -Victories of the Balustrade, of Scopaic Maenads, of Praxitelean satyrs, -but all the models which they adopt are treated in a uniform style, -a new style of exaggerated daintiness of pose and gesture accompanied -by an archaistic formality of drapery and modelling. In this detail -they contrast strongly with the realism of the pre-Raphaelites. Their -daintiness and formality are derived from Ionian models, but reproduced -in a wholly different setting. - -The vase of Sosibios in the Louvre[120] reproduces some of their -favourite types, which occur over and over again in the decorative art -of the early empire. The flute-playing satyr, the dancing maenad, the -armed dancer, and all the other types are reproduced in every variety -of combination, but in identical form. The Neo-Attic sculptors were -content with the elaboration of a few types which they combined at -pleasure. They never attempted more intricate groups than their variant -of the two Victories with a bull from the Acropolis Balustrade. Usually -they merely group single figures in long rows without any connexion in -thought. Nothing could bring out more clearly their essential poverty -of ideas and the purely commercial character of their art. The designs -are like so many stencil patterns which can be applied to any form of -monument. - -When we examine the figures more closely, we can see the elements -which make up their characteristic style. The figures invariably -march on tiptoe. Their fingers are extended and the little finger -is usually bent back in an affected manner. This detail is derived -from the archaic pose of the hand holding out a flower, so common in -late Ionian art. The tiptoe pose is also found on ancient reliefs. -The drapery is based mainly on that of the late fifth-century Attic -school, but with various additions and refinements. The fluttering -ends of cloaks and mantles recall fourth-century reliefs, while the -curving swallow-tail ends of flying drapery are imitated directly from -the sixth century. The drapery on the figure itself usually hangs in -straight archaic lines as in the Artemis of Pompeii,[121] where the -zigzag shape of ancient folds is reproduced with great formality; or -it follows an almost equally artificial system of wavy folds, based -on the school of the Balustrade, as in the fine relief of a dancing -Maenad in the Conservatori Museum.[122] The elegant lounging poses with -bent head, which remind us somewhat of Burne-Jones figures, are based -no doubt on Praxiteles. The delineation of the surface muscles of the -nude body also follows a uniform rule derived rather from the middle -fifth-century Attic art than from that of Ionia. The muscles of the -male figures tend to be over-emphasized, so far as that is conformable -with the elegant slenderness of their figures. But a description of -the figure-types of Neo-Attic art is incomplete without some notice of -the intricate decorative designs of plants and animals which always -frame and enshrine the reliefs on altar or candelabrum. Archaic -Greek decoration was always formal and conventional in character. -The exquisite mouldings of the Erechtheum or of the later Corinthian -capital are not naturalistic but highly stylized. Naturalistic -floral or animal decoration begins with the Hellenistic age, and is -especially prominent in the Neo-Attic monuments. The trailing vine, -grape-clusters, wreaths of flowers, new heraldic sphinxes, lions’ -heads, &c., are carefully worked out from nature and combined with the -remnants of the old decoration of palmettes, volutes, and tongue and -dart mouldings. The vase of Sosibios shows a combination of the two -principles, which is truly symbolic of the Greco-Roman combined school, -for naturalistic decorative designs are just as representative of Roman -art as formal ones are of Hellenic. From the combined system of the -Neo-Attic reliefs we pass directly to the purely naturalistic floral -designs of Augustan architectural sculpture. - -Our survey of Greek sculpture must conclude with the great buildings -of Augustus. In them we see for the first time the combination of -Italian with Greek principles. The Greco-Roman art which we have -noticed hitherto has been archaistic and eclectic, but it has been -purely Greek. Roman tastes have been studied and gratified, but style -and technique have remained wholly Greek and uncontaminated. Even -in the new buildings this procedure still continued. Pliny tells us -that Augustus, who had the fashionable taste for the archaic in Greek -art, actually imported the _Korai_ of Bupalos and Athenis for use as -acroteria on his monuments. The Conservatori Museum contains an almost -exact copy of one of these _Korai_,[123] which must belong to the age -of Augustus, as well as a very inferior adaptation of the same type. -The _Kore_ figure was translated into the so-called Spes type for -mirror handles and other elements of decoration. - -But Augustus was not the man to submit to a complete extinction of -Italian artistic principles. His system was closely identified with -a revival of ancient Italy in all directions, and he was not likely -to abandon Italic art. It therefore came to pass that in the greatest -sculptured monument of his period--the Ara Pacis[124] erected on the -Campus Martius, which is now being gradually and laboriously pieced -together again--we have a combination of Greek and Italian principles -of first-rate importance for the subsequent development of Roman art. -One side of the altar contained a relief of Tellus or the Earth, which -is hardly distinguishable from the pastoral Hellenistic reliefs, but -the procession which fills the greater part of the other sides is -treated in a very different manner. The general scheme is Greek, and -must have been influenced by the Parthenon frieze, but the treatment in -detail is Italian. Thus we have the Roman toga with its voluminous soft -folds, and the Roman principle of direct realistic portraiture in all -the heads. But more important than the portraiture is the appearance of -a new development of perspective in relief which is destined to have a -great career in the future of art, and which has been regarded by some -authorities as purely Italian. - -Greek reliefs had always been represented as if against a tangible -background, at first practically in two planes only, and then in -Hellenistic times in truer perspective, but invariably against a -background of some kind. Roman art, on the other hand, in its more -developed reliefs like those on the Arch of Titus,[125] eliminates -the idea of background and regards the wall on which the reliefs are -placed as nonexistent. The reliefs are intended to give the illusion -of free sculpture, as if they were standing in the round against a -background of the sky. A much greater depth must, therefore, enter -into the principle of perspective. Just as in the bronze reliefs of -the Florentine Baptistery Ghiberti used the principle of no background -and attempted to show a whole countryside behind his figures as if -the relief were a picture, so the artist of the reliefs of the Arch -of Titus uses a strongly diminishing perspective and a pronounced -foreshortening of his figures to produce this same effect of free -sculpture. - -In Greek sculpture of the Hellenistic age it is true to say that the -depth of the background has been greatly increased. This is visible -even as early as the Telephos frieze. But it would be hard to point to -a Greek relief in which the effect was wholly pictorial and the idea -of the background was entirely abolished. This principle, however, -does appear in the reliefs of the Ara Pacis, and therefore they mark -a new era in art. The perspective and the foreshortening are stronger -and more illusional. In the background we get flat heads just incised -in the marble to give the effect of the depth of the crowd. The scene -is in fact not a procession in Indian file but a true crowd many ranks -deep. The principle is not altogether adequately carried out in the Ara -Pacis, but soon it is more completely mastered. The stucco decorations -of the Villa Farnesina,[126] though in the lowest possible relief, -express a depth greater than any Hellenistic landscape relief. They are -purely pictorial in character. - -The subordination of sculpture to pictorial ideas is Italian not -Greek. Italy through Etruria, her real artistic pioneer, was always -a patron of painting rather than sculpture, and therefore under the -Empire sculpture becomes either wholly decorative or merely devoted -to portraiture. During the reign of Augustus Greek influence still -persists, and under Hadrian we have a Greek revival, but from Tiberius -to the Renaissance sculpture descends from a primary to a secondary -art. - -Another great development of Augustan sculpture is the free use -of naturalistic floral designs. Etruscan and Roman art was always -realistic, and never tolerated conventions when they could be -eliminated. Roman architecture and art both abandoned at once the -Greek use of formal conventional mouldings. The Ara Pacis and other -monuments of the Augustan age first give us the beautiful rendering of -purely realistic wreaths of flowers and fruit, which are the hall-marks -of Roman altars and friezes. The Imperial art of Rome as it begins -under Augustus is profoundly indebted to Greek art for almost all its -types and its technical procedure. Doubtless the greater number of his -artists and architects were Greeks. But they were working in the midst -of a new culture and a new environment, and thus they unconsciously -absorbed new traditions and new ideas, just as their predecessors had -done in Pergamon and Alexandria. In Greece itself no further advance -was possible. Artistic production was purely commercial, and all the -sources of inspiration were closed. In Rome, where alone could be found -a career for a creative artist, he had gradually to submit to the -_genius loci_. The artificers of the empire must have long remained -Greeks, and all Roman art bears the stamp of Hellenic origin, but -at the same time Greek art is changed along the lines of pictorial -illusion and pure realism in portraiture. It loses all touch with Greek -idealism and serves to express Roman narrative history. Its gods, its -myths, and its outlook are changed. It becomes Roman, just as Gothic -art became national in each country which it invaded. - -We are left then with only one further question to discuss. What are -the permanent elements of Hellenism in Roman art, and, after Roman -art, in the art of the Renaissance and of modern times? What is the -true character of Greek sculpture, and what has it bequeathed to all -civilizations which have followed it? - -The question is a large one which cannot be easily solved in a few -phrases. Greek sculpture is not to be hastily identified with what we -call classicism in art and contrasted with romanticism and realism. -Greek art is classic, if we mean by that term academic, only for a -brief period of its decadence. During the fourth century and the -Hellenistic age it displays all the phenomena of romantic and realistic -art. In fact Greek art as a whole comprises every form of artistic -expression, and exhibits wellnigh the whole of the possibilities -that lie between the caveman and the aesthete. We do not, however, -confuse the work of Donatello or of Rodin or of modern impressionists -with Greek sculpture, and this clarity of distinction demands some -examination. How can we distinguish Greek work from that of every other -civilization? - -The answer is not to be found in style or in technique. It lies in -the more hidden depths of psychology. If we take the history of Greek -sculpture as a whole, the attitude of the artist to his work and of the -public to art in general and of art itself to life is different from -that prevalent in any other society. Neither under the Roman Empire -nor during the Renaissance nor in the modern world is art regarded -as an essential form of self-expression as natural as conversation -or amusement or religion. It is fair to assume that the average -modern man regards statues with indifference slightly flavoured with -amusement. Nobody would notice the difference if he were living in a -town full of statues or in one without any. They satisfy no need in -modern existence, and they are mere excrescences on our civilization. -Even pictures, which we understand better, are mainly regarded from -the point of view of decorative furniture. Art is an embellishment of -modern life, not an essential part of it. It is considered a means of -pleasure or a means of amusement, not as part of the serious business -of life. Even in the Renaissance, where art played a much more -important rôle in the life of the community than it now does, it was -still a by-product of man’s activity. Popes and rulers found leisure to -patronize Cellini or Michael Angelo, but their main business in life -was rather to poison each other or to increase their landed property. -The Romans looked on art much as we do, and with the same tolerant air -of showing our superiority by a correct taste. - -The attitude of the Greeks was wholly different. To them art was bound -up with religion, for their religion found its natural expression -in art rather than in any emotional ceremonies such as Christianity -introduced. The religion of the city in particular, a stronger -feeling than our modern patriotism, could only be expressed by art. -The disappearance of the city-state was, therefore, a great blow to -the idealism of Greek art, but even after this time a man’s private -feelings could better be expressed in terms of art than in terms of -religion. The Cnidian goddess of Praxiteles was more than a statue; it -was an idea. The Victory of Samothrace was Triumph itself, not a mere -masterpiece. To a Greek the statues he loved represented what religion -means to most Christians; not that his feelings were equally intense or -equally pure, but they expressed the same side of his nature. - -In a psychological state like this both the artist and the public -are bound to regard art with very different eyes. The Greeks could -have tolerated experimental frivolity or chicanery in art as little -as we should tolerate the travesty of a religious service. Therefore -they admitted dogma in art, as we admit dogma in religion. We lightly -overthrow all established artistic principles to introduce a new -temporary fad. To the Greek such an idea was equivalent to sacrilege. -This accounts very largely for the slow development of Greek art and -its great reluctance to admit new principles. It could never become -purely experimental or adventurous. Until the end of the fifth century -this driving-force of the religious connexion is paramount in all Greek -art. In the fourth century and the Hellenistic age the connexion of art -and religion is shaken, but if religion passes away, the passionate -devotion to art takes its place, and art itself becomes almost a -religion. The stories of the great painters and of the intense love of -whole communities for their works of art can be parallelled perhaps -in some of the states of the Renaissance, but they have assuredly no -parallel in Roman or in modern times. Our whole attitude towards art as -an ‘extra’ and an unessential prevents us from appreciating its vital -importance to the Greek. A community, whose ideas of art are Hellenic, -knows no abrupt distinctions between the useful and the beautiful, -because all the objects of its daily life are beautiful of necessity; -it knows nothing of good taste, because there is no bad taste to -contrast, and we may even find, as in the case of Greece herself, that -its words for ‘good’ and ‘evil’ are simply ‘beautiful’ and ‘ugly’ -(καλός and αἰσχρός). - -The whole fabric of Greek art goes to pieces when it is brought into -contact with a purely utilitarian nation like Rome. It succeeded in -humanizing and educating the upper classes, but it had little effect -on the mob. Art, therefore, in Rome became a means of decorating -palaces and not a national treasure. The contact with Christianity was -even more destructive, for if the Romans had been merely indifferent, -the Christians were actively hostile. The new religion was Semitic in -origin, and cared nothing for beauty or ugliness. If anything, it found -in ugliness a means of atonement for sin. The Greek love of beauty was -the worst enemy Christianity encountered, and the Fathers direct long -pamphlets and arguments against the pagan deities and their statues. -Nor were they content with arguments, when they could wield a hammer or -throw a stone. Early Christianity, like Mohammedanism or the Spartan -system, depended on a strict subordination of the individual, and -consequently attacked most bitterly the artistic spirit which must be -free if it is to live at all. Of all the nations who have existed since -the fall of Greece the Chinese and Japanese have come nearest to the -Greek spirit in art owing to the lack of a religion of self-denial. The -earlier period of the Renaissance was also Hellenic, but when artists -were captured by the Church and turned to painting saints and madonnas, -their Greek freedom left them. Parrhasios might have claimed kinship -with Botticelli’s Birth of Venus or his Pallas; he would have seen no -beauty in his Madonnas. - -Another consequence of the vital importance of art in Greek life was -that artistic expression was almost wholly confined to the human form. -Just as we exclude animals and plants from our religion, the Greek -excluded them from his art as long as its religious connexion was -intact. Between the sixth century and the Hellenistic age no Greek -artist paid any attention to any animal save the horse, whose human -associations exempted him, and even the horse had to be content with a -more or less conventional treatment. Greek art, like Greek religion, is -essentially anthropomorphic. - -When we ask what is the debt of modern art to Greek art, there is no -reply. We cannot point to this idea or that, and say this is Hellenic -and that is non-Hellenic. We can say this is Pheidian, that Scopaic, -or this is Pergamene and that Rhodian, but to say art is Greek is -simply to say it is good. For Greek art comprises every genuine effort -of the artist; every statue which is made with sincere love of beauty -and unmixed desire for its attainment is Greek in spirit; every -statue, however cunning and ingenious, which is merely frivolous or -hypocritical or untrue, is a crime against Hellenism and a sin against -the light. The Greek bequest to later artists is nothing tangible; it -is the soul and spirit of the artist. True art cannot be attained by -rule; it demands a condition of receptivity of inspiration, in other -words, of faith, in the artist; only thus can the elements of technique -be so combined as to make something far greater than their mere sum -total. Great art must reflect something intangible that strikes a chord -of sympathy in the spectator, and the chord, as _Abt Vogler_ expresses -it, is something far greater than the sum of its notes: - - But here is the finger of God, a flash of the will that can, - Existent beyond all laws, that made them and, lo, they are! - And I know not if, save in this, such gift be allowed to man, - That out of three sounds he frame, not a fourth sound, but a star. - - - - -APPENDIX - -PUBLISHED WORKS OF THE AUTHOR - - -The published papers of Guy Dickins may best be ranged under three -heads: (1) historic work, (2) results of travel and excavation, (3) -studies in Greek sculpture. - - -I. Under the first head come ‘Some points with regard to the Homeric -House’ (_J.H.S._, 1903). - -This is Dickins’s earliest paper. The subject has attracted several of -our younger archaeologists. Dickins takes up in particular the internal -arrangement of the Megaron, and the nature and position of the ὀρσοθύρη -and the ῥῶγες. He proceeds very carefully, trying to combine the -testimony of the Palace of Tiryns with that of Cnossus and Phylakopi. - -‘The true cause of the Peloponnesian War’ (_Class. Quarterly_, 1911). - -‘The growth of Spartan Policy’ (_J.H.S._, 1912, 1913). - -These are detailed attempts to explain the policy of Sparta in regard -to the neighbouring states and Athens down to the time of Archidamus -and Agis. In consequence of the paucity of existing historic records, -the sketch is necessarily of a somewhat speculative character, the -more so as a chief object of inquiry is unavoidably the motives which -dominated the statesmen and the parties at Sparta. There is good ground -for the contention that down to 550 B.C. Sparta underwent a political -development, and even an artistic growth, parallel to that in other -Greek cities; but that after that time the city developed on lines -of its own, as a purely military state. This is, as we shall see, -the most interesting result established by the recent excavations on -the site. Looking for a personality to associate with the change, -Dickins finds one in Chilon, a name not prominent in history, but -suggestively mentioned by Herodotus and Diogenes Laertius. He seems to -have succeeded in raising the Ephors to equal power with the Kings, -and thenceforward, according to Dickins, the clue to Spartan policy is -to be found in the clashings of the two powers. Until 468 the struggle -was acute; and it was not until the end of the fifth century that the -supremacy of the Ephors was established. The question of dominance over -the helots, which has by some writers been regarded as the mainspring -of Spartan policy, was less important in the fifth century than it -became in the fourth. - -In the paper in the _Classical Quarterly_ it is maintained, in -opposition to some recent historians of Greece, that Thucydides is -right in saying that it was jealousy of the rising power of Athens -which brought on the Peloponnesian War. - -Dickins is well versed in both ancient and modern historians, and he -writes with clearness and force; but the motives of statesmen and the -underlying causes of events are so intricate that the discussion of -them seldom leads to a really objective addition to our knowledge of -ancient history. - - -II. Under the second head, accounts of exploration and excavation, -come Dickins’s Reports of his work in the exploration of Laconia and -Sparta. In the years 1904–8 the British School of Athens was engaged -in the interesting task, assigned to it by the Greek Government, of -making a careful survey of Laconia, and trying by excavation what could -be recovered of the monuments and history of ancient Sparta. Mr. R. M. -Dawkins, the Director of the School, was in charge of the excavations, -and various parts of the work were assigned to students of the school, -A. J. B. Wace, J. P. Droop, A. M. Woodward, Dickins, and others. In -the _Annual_ of the school, vols. xi to xiv, there are several papers -written by Dickins, one on excavation at Thalamae in Laconia, others -on the excavation of the shrine of Athena Chalkioikos at Sparta, and -the works of art found on the site. It is this temple and that of -Artemis Orthia which have yielded the most important results of the -undertaking. But as the work was one executed in common by a group of -students who worked into one another’s hands, it is not desirable or -possible to separate the threads in Dickins’s hands from the others. - - -III. Men of strong originality usually produce more satisfactory -work on subjects as to which they have gradually acquired first-hand -knowledge than on subjects which they have merely taken up as a task. -This was notably the case with Dickins. His best papers by far are -those dealing with Sparta and Lycosura, places where he worked on -definite lines, and where he reached important results. - -His paper on the art of Sparta[127] is extremely valuable; and as it is -hidden in a place little visited by classical scholars, it is desirable -to speak of it in some detail. There will before long appear a work -on the results of the excavations of the British School of Athens at -Sparta, a work which will contain some contributions by Dickins: and -of course it is possible that the excavators will modify the views -set forth ten years ago. But meantime the paper in question is the -best summary existing of the results of the excavation in relation to -Spartan art. - -The current notion that from the first settlement of the Dorians in -Sparta they formed a state organized for war only has to be greatly -modified. The warlike Sparta familiar to us from Plutarch and other -writers came into existence only in the course of the sixth century. -The earlier history of Sparta had been parallel to that of other -Greek cities; and we are able now to mark out successive periods of -development in the local artistic remains. In these remains Dickins -discerns four periods. First, there is the age of geometric art, the -ninth and early eighth centuries, when art products show the dominance -of the early Dorian civilization which the Spartans brought with them -from the north. Next comes a period in which we find oriental art -invading, owing to trade with Egypt and Ionia. In the third period -we find a fusion of native Greek art with the oriental style of -importation. The fourth period, the sixth and fifth centuries, should -show us at Sparta, as in other Greek cities, a bloom of local art; but -it never had a fair chance of development, as the rise of the military -spirit and asceticism in manners blighted it in the midst of its -spring. Thenceforward Sparta is cut off from the stream which leads to -such wonderful results in the architecture and sculpture of Argos and -Athens. It is a lesson for all times. Many of the early Spartan works -of art are represented in the article. Their character is striking: -Dickins compares them with the works found by Dr. Hogarth in the -earliest strata of Ephesus; and the Ionian influence in them confirms -the tales told by the historians of the frequent relations between -Sparta and Asia Minor. - -The sculptural group of Damophon of Messene at Lycosura in Arcadia has -long been an object of interest to archaeologists. We knew that it -consisted of four colossal figures, Demeter, Despoina, Artemis, and -the Titan Anytus. But there was no agreement as to the date of the -group: Damophon had been assigned by various writers to periods as far -apart as the fourth century before, and the second century after, our -era. When the site at Lycosura was excavated in 1889–90 by the Greek -archaeologists Leonardos and Kavvadias, fragments of the statues were -found, and the style proved somewhat disappointing. The closer study of -these fragments was resumed in 1906 by Dr. Kourouniotis, who partially -restored two of the figures. But it was reserved for Dickins, in a -series of closely reasoned and masterly papers,[128] to complete the -restoration of the group, and to fix definitely the date and style of -Damophon. - -The first paper deals with the date of Damophon, which is fixed on -the definite evidence of inscriptions to the first half of the second -century B.C., and deals so thoroughly with his historic connexion -that little is left for any future archaeologist to say in regard -to it. The architectural evidence at Lycosura confirms the date -assigned. In the second paper Dickins carries out a most detailed and -convincing restoration of the group, adding a discussion of the style -of Damophon. In the third paper he is able to confirm the accuracy of -his restoration by comparing with it a copy of the group on a bronze -coin of Julia Domna struck at Megalopolis. When the restoration was -published nothing was known of this coin; it may therefore be regarded -as independent evidence of the most satisfying character; and its -agreement in all but a few details with Dickins’s restoration shows -that his work survives that most severe of all tests, the discovery of -fresh evidence. Few conjectural restorations of archaeologists stand on -so firm a basis. - -Damophon had interested Dickins even before he became his special -subject of study, for as early as 1905 he had published two bearded -heads, one in the Vatican, one in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek, which -resemble the head of Anytus.[129] - -In 1906 he published a new replica of the Choiseul Gouffier type.[130] -His keen eye had discerned in the Terme Museum at Rome a detached leg -of the same form and style as the left leg of the Choiseul Gouffier -figure of the British Museum. To the support to which this leg is -attached there is also attached a quiver, and this led Dickins to -conclude that the Choiseul Gouffier figure is not, as many have -thought, an athlete, but an Apollo, as Mr. Murray always maintained. - -In 1911 he published an account[131] of a colossal marble sandal in -the Palazzo dei Conservatori at Rome, adorned with reliefs on the side -of the sole. Struck with the likeness of the style of these reliefs to -that of the figures on the garment at Lycosura, he boldly suggests that -it is an original work of Damophon. - -In 1914 he discussed the question[132] whether the noteworthy female -head at Holkham Hall can be given, as Sir Charles Walston has -suggested, to the east pediment of the Parthenon; and answered the -question with a decided negative. Another paper in the same year -suggests the identification of several sculptured heads in various -museums as portraits of kings of the Hellenistic Age, Egyptian, Syrian, -and Pergamene. The paper also discusses the portraits of Thucydides -and Aristotle. There is no more treacherous ground in archaeology than -the assignment of portraits which are uninscribed; but the keenness of -sight and the cautious method of Dickins had made him eminently fit for -such inquiries. - -In 1912 appeared a work on which Dickins had expended great labour, the -first volume of the _Catalogue of the Acropolis Museum at Athens_,[133] -comprising the sculpture down to the time of the Persian wars. The -archaic Korae and male figures which stood in lines on the Acropolis -and the pediments of the temples and shrines which adorned it when -the Persians broke in in 480 constitute one of the most wonderful -revelations of early Greek art. They have been frequently photographed; -but their scientific study had not advanced with their popularity, -and a number of difficult questions, as to date, artistic school, and -manner of drapery awaited the cataloguer. With great care and excellent -method Dickins approached these questions; and laid down a platform of -knowledge on which all future discussions must be based. The work is in -several ways a model. - -A posthumous paper on ‘The Followers of Praxiteles’, published in the -_Annual of the British School_,[134] had been given as a lecture at -Oxford. It covers some of the ground occupied by the present volume. -This with some manuscript to be printed in the forthcoming account -of excavations at Sparta and in the forthcoming second volume of -the _Catalogue of the Municipal Collections of Sculpture at Rome_, -completes the list of published works. My claim is that they should -rather be weighed than measured. - - P. GARDNER. - - - - -FOOTNOTES - - -[1] _N. H._ xxxiv. 52. - -[2] Pliny, _N.

As an undergraduate, twenty -years ago, Guy Dickins gave up his intention of entering the -Indian Civil Service in order to devote himself to the study -of Classical Archaeology, an allegiance from which he never -swerved. In 1904 he went as Craven Fellow to the British -School of Athens, and for five years lived mostly in Greece, -studying and exploring. In 1909 he returned to Oxford -as a Fellow of St. John’s College, and Lecturer in Ancient -History. In 1914 he was appointed University Lecturer in -Classical Archaeology; but before he could take up the -duties of the post the great call came, and he obeyed it at -once. A most efficient and able company commander, he -served in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. In July 1916 he -died of wounds received in the battle of the Somme.</p> - -<p>Before the war Dickins had been occupied in tasks of -research, and in preparation for a teaching career. He had -published several papers, and a volume of the catalogue of -the Acropolis Museum. He had visited most of the museums -of Europe, and brought back a large collection of photographs, -which his widow has presented to the Ashmolean Museum. -He was especially interested in Greek sculpture, and had<span class="pagenum" id="Page_viii">viii</span> -intended to collect materials for a history of art in the -Hellenistic Age, a subject which has been neglected, but -which is of the greatest importance. Several of his papers, -such as those on the followers of Praxiteles and on Damophon -of Messene, show in what direction his mind was working, -though at the same time he was ready to take part in all the -projects and the excavations of the School of Athens.</p> - -<p>The present volume, alas, is the only fruit which the -study of antiquity is likely to reap from such continued and -thorough preparation. Every reader will regret that it was -not written on a far larger scale. But it was planned as part -of a complete history of ancient sculpture. No doubt, had -he lived, Dickins would have rewritten it in a more complete -form. But as it stands it is far too valuable to lose, full of -suggestion, and pointing the way to important lines of -discovery. In my opinion it contains the best that has been -written on the subject; and one rises from the reading of -it with a keen regret that the author could not bring his -harvest to completion.</p> - -<p>Dickins possessed in a high degree two qualities necessary -for the best work in archaeology. He was distinctly -original, always preferring to look at things in a light not -borrowed from books or teachers but his own. And he was -at the same time of cool judgement and strong in common -sense. One of his fellow officers told me that whenever he -was in doubt as to the course to be followed in attack or -defence he consulted Dickins, and accepted his advice.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_ix">ix</span> -He did not, like many young archaeologists, delight in starting -brilliant hypotheses; but was ever content in coming nearer -to the truth, and setting it forth in orderly and sober fashion. -Such qualities would have made him an invaluable factor -in the teaching of archaeology in England. I am told that -the undergraduates of his college always felt that he set -before them a high standard, and had no sympathy with -anything which was pretentious or meretricious. The same -qualities appeared in two or three courses of lectures on -recent excavation, which he gave at the Ashmolean Museum.</p> - -<p>I add as an appendix a list of Dickins’s published -works, with a summary of their purpose and contents. They -are not great in extent; he was not a rapid worker; but -every one of them is worthy of careful reading, and does -something to advance our knowledge of Greek art and ancient -life.</p> - -<p class="sigright"> -PERCY GARDNER. -</p> - -<hr /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="CONTENTS">CONTENTS</h2> -</div> - -<table id="toc" summary="Contents"> -<tr class="nopad"> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td class="tdr"><span class="allsmcap">PAGE</span></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdl">PREFACE</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_vii">vii</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td class="tdr">I.</td> - <td class="tdl">THE SCHOOL OF PERGAMON</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_1">1</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td class="tdr">II.</td> - <td class="tdl">THE SCHOOL OF ALEXANDRIA</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_19">19</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td class="tdr">III.</td> - <td class="tdl">THE RHODIAN SCHOOL</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_35">35</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td class="tdr">IV.</td> - <td class="tdl">THE MAINLAND SCHOOLS DURING THE HELLENISTIC AGE</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_53">53</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td class="tdr">V.</td> - <td class="tdl">GRECO-ROMAN SCULPTURE</td> - <td class="tdr"><a href="#chap_68">68</a></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdl">APPENDIX.

The period -is a long one, lasting from the death of Alexander to -the Roman absorption of the Hellenistic kingdoms, i.e. from -about 320 to later than 100 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> The lowest limit is marked -by the Laocoon group, and the fact that some critics have -seen in that wonderful monument the climax of Greek art -may make us pause in a hasty generalization. The decadence -of the Hellenistic age is due simply to its exaggeration of -certain tendencies already present in the fourth century, tendencies -which accompany the inevitable development of all -art gradually away from the ideal and gradually closer to -realistic imitation of nature. As long as the technical skill of -the Hellenistic artist shows no sign of abating, it is unfair -and untrue to call his work decadent. The term is only justly -applicable when loss of idealism or growth of frivolity in -subject is accompanied by a decline in execution, by a want -of thoroughness, and by a desire to shirk difficulties.</p> - -<p>It is true to say that Greek art on the mainland enters -on a period of decadence in the third century, for its execution -and expression grow steadily worse after 250 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, but -it is interesting to note that it reverts to a greater idealism. -The last great artist of the mainland, Damophon of Messene, -might have been a member of the school of Pheidias save -for an inadequate mastery of the chisel.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">2</span></p> - -<p>On the other hand, the schools of Pergamon, Alexandria, -and Rhodes show no falling off in technical skill as long as -they remain independent of Rome. Even their idealism does -not wholly decline, for the Gallic victories of Attalos and -Eumenes brought about an idealist revival in Pergamene art -associated with the decoration of the great altar. Rhodes -remained ever wedded to the athletic ideal. Alexandria -delighted most in scenes of <i>genre</i> and realistic imitations of -nature. But all turned out work of marvellous quality, and -it is mainly a vagary of fashion in criticism that now induces -so many authorities to label as decadent wonderful masterpieces -of sculpture like the Victory of Samothrace, the -kneeling boy of Subiaco, or the Silenos with the young -Dionysos. Works so full of human nature and so rich in -sympathy may well claim to replace by their romantic appeal -the classical feeling of the fifth century. It is only when -romance becomes sentimentality that it meets with just -condemnation.</p> - -<p>The outstanding feature of the history of Greek sculpture -during the Hellenistic period is the transference of its vital -centres from the mainland to the new kingdoms of the -Diadochi on the east and south and to the great new free -state of Rhodes. The chief cause was an economic one. -Alexander’s campaigns brought about a revival of prosperity -and wealth in the Greek world, but among his friends and -not among his enemies. Athens was always his enemy and -the enemy of his Macedonian successors. Consequently -during the whole period from the death of Alexander to -the Roman conquest Athens was either under Macedonian -rule or in danger of Macedonian attack. It was Macedonian -policy to keep her weak and isolated, and her trading supremacy<span class="pagenum" id="Page_3">3</span> -began to be transferred to the island of Delos. The great -days of Attic art passed with the death of Praxiteles and the -coming of Alexander. In the Peloponnese the pupils of -Lysippos carried on into the third century the traditions of -the Sikyonian school, but we can see from such knowledge -as we possess of their activities that the wealth and fame of -the new kingdoms were already calling the artists to abandon -the impoverished towns of the mainland. The Peloponnese -also opposed Alexander and his successors, and Macedonian -garrisons held the chief fortresses of the country. We find -Eutychides of Sikyon working for Antioch, and Chares -working at Lindos in Rhodes. After the date given for the -pupils of Lysippos in 296 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, Pliny makes the following -significant statement: ‘cessavit deinde ars, ac rursus -Olympiade CLVI (156 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>) revixit.’<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">1</a> For 150 years the -history of artistic development must be studied on the eastern -side of the Aegean.</p> - -<p>After the preliminary conflicts between the successors -of Alexander for the partition of the empire a number of -new states arose, which are known to us usually as the -kingdoms of the Diadochi or Successors. Of these the three -most important were Macedonia, Syria, and Egypt, under -the rule of Antigonids, Seleucids, and Ptolemies respectively. -Of smaller importance, but quite independent and self-sustaining, -were Bithynia, Pergamon, and the island republic -of Rhodes, the latter being the only one which maintained -its Hellenic democratic institutions. The attitude of these -states towards art differs remarkably. Macedonia remained -always a military monarchy in a condition of almost constant -frontier war, and was wholly uninterested in artistic developments.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">4</span> -Syria seems from the first to have fallen under -Semitic and oriental influences, which destroyed its appreciation -of the purer forms of Greek art. Bithynia, Pontos, and -Cappadocia were barbarian rather than Greek. As a result, -we find that the old artistic traditions are maintained prominently -in three only of the new states: Pergamon, the home -of the very Hellenic race of the Attalids; Rhodes, whose -pure Hellenic descent was untouched; and Alexandria, -which became practically a Greek town in the midst of an -older Egyptian civilization.</p> - -<p>The kingdom of Pergamon included the area of the old -Ionian cities, and inherited, therefore, an artistic tradition as -old as its own existence. It is no matter for surprise that its -art-loving monarchs should have founded a great library -and a great school of sculpture in open rivalry with the richer -resources of Ptolemaic Alexandria. The art of Pergamon is -well known to us from the magnificent groups and figures -of the Gallic dedications of Attalos I after his victories about -240 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and from the marvellous frieze of the altar excavated -<i>in situ</i> by the Germans, which belongs to the period of -Eumenes II and the early second century. But before we -come to these later developments of Pergamene art, it is -important that we should discover the earliest tendencies -and predilections of the Pergamene court in the first half -of the third century. We are told<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">2</a> that the most remarkable -work of Kephisodotos, the son of Praxiteles, was his ‘symplegma’ -at Pergamon—probably an erotic group—which -was noteworthy for its extraordinarily naturalistic rendering -of the pressure of the fingers into the flesh. Such erotic -groups of nymphs and satyrs or hermaphrodites exist in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">5</span> -our museums, and are ultimately derived from this type -of statue. Actual discoveries at Pergamon support this -conception of early third-century Pergamene art. The well-known -Hermaphrodite in Constantinople (<a href="#ip_1">Fig. 1</a>) and a -beautiful girl’s head in Berlin<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">3</a> show the extreme delicacy -in the rendering of flesh and the fondness for a sensual -body treatment which we might expect from an Ionian -version of the schools of Scopas and Praxiteles. The existence -of such a school in Ionia in the late fourth century is highly -probable. The Pergamene school of the early third century -would seem to be the later natural development of the creators -of the Ephesos columns and the Niobids. Scopaic expression -and Praxitelean flesh treatment are the hall-marks of the -school. Another work of importance for the early Pergamene -period is the Crouching Aphrodite type, so popular in Roman -times. Of this statue Pliny tells us: ‘Venerem lavantem -se Daedalus fecit.’<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">4</a> This Daedalus was a Bithynian artist -of the early third century, who must have fallen under the -general influence of the prevalent Pergamene school. His -Aphrodite<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5" class="fnanchor">5</a> shows exactly the artistic tendencies of the early -Pergamene school. The motive is unimportant and frivolous—a -<i>genre</i> motive of a girl washing herself—but it is used for -the purpose of demonstrating the technical skill of the artist -in displaying the nude female form. The artist does not use -all his skill in the effort to produce a noble or even a romantic -ideal. The subject is immaterial, provided it affords a chance -of showing his technical skill. The crouching attitude is -a new one in art, and one well adapted for exhibiting the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">6</span> -human body in all its variety. It appears again in the -Attalid dedications, and was evidently a favourite at Pergamon. -Another example is in the well-known Knife-Grinder -of the Uffizi,<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">6</a> part of a great group of Marsyas, -Apollo, and the Scythian slave, which we can certainly -connect with this period of Pergamene art. The Knife-Grinder -himself is a copy and not an original. That is made -clear by his late plinth, in spite of his magnificent workmanship. -But the finer copies of the hanging Marsyas, which -belongs to the group, are in a Phrygian marble, betraying -their Pergamene origin. These copies of the Marsyas are -divided into two types: a so-called ‘red’ type (<a href="#ip_2">Fig. 2</a>), -made of the Phrygian marble, in which the expression of -agony is more marked, and a white type<a id="FNanchor_7" href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">7</a> in which the face -is less distorted. A theory has been put forward that the -white type represents an early third-century prototype, -while the red type is a Pergamene variation of rather later -date.<a id="FNanchor_8" href="#Footnote_8" class="fnanchor">8</a> We may, however, hesitate to see sufficient difference -in the two types to make so wide a distinction. The white -type may be merely a less masterly adaptation of the red. -An Apollo torso<a id="FNanchor_9" href="#Footnote_9" class="fnanchor">9</a> in Berlin from Pergamon with the right -hand resting on the head agrees with a marble disc in Dresden<a id="FNanchor_10" href="#Footnote_10" class="fnanchor">10</a> -showing a similar figure confronted by the hanging Marsyas. -We may therefore associate this figure as the third member -of the group with Marsyas and the Knife-Grinder.<a id="FNanchor_11" href="#Footnote_11" class="fnanchor">11</a> The -Apollo is a seated figure of distinctly Praxitelean influence. -The keen expression of the Knife-Grinder and the agonized<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">7</span> -face of the Marsyas may equally well be attributed to Scopaic -teaching. We have a good example of this mixed tradition in -early Pergamene art. Technically we are at once compelled -to notice the immense advance in realism and anatomical -study. The hanging Marsyas shows a correct appreciation -of the effects of such a posture on swollen veins and strained -abdomen. The corner of the mouth is drawn up in agony; -the forehead is corrugated with rows of wrinkles; the hair, -even on the chest, is matted with perspiration. One would -say that so remarkable a statue could only be studied from -nature, and one recalls the stories of Parrhasios, who is said -to have used an actual model for his Prometheus Bound.<a id="FNanchor_12" href="#Footnote_12" class="fnanchor">12</a> -We are long past the time when sculptors worked from -memory. Even Praxiteles was said to have made his Cnidian -goddess with Phryne as a model. In the Knife-Grinder we -may perhaps detect some of the earliest traces of that exaggeration -of the muscles which will so soon affect athletic art.</p> - -<p>One of the most important of the Pergamon finds was the -little bronze satyr,<a id="FNanchor_13" href="#Footnote_13" class="fnanchor">13</a> which has enabled us to associate with -Pergamon a whole host of satyr types of more or less similar -style. The Dancing Satyr of Pompeii (<a href="#ip_3">Fig. 3</a>) and Athens, -the Satyr of the Uffizi clashing cymbals,<a id="FNanchor_14" href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">14</a> with its replica in -Dresden, and the Satyr turning round to examine his tail<a id="FNanchor_15" href="#Footnote_15" class="fnanchor">15</a> -are all variants of the new artistic cult of the satyr, a cult -which seems to have had a Pergamene origin.<a id="FNanchor_16" href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">16</a> The satyr -gave to the Pergamene artist just that opportunity for the -display of wild and somewhat sensual enthusiasm which he<span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">8</span> -wanted, for new and original poses, and for combination -with his nymphs and bacchanals. In Phrygia especially -orgiastic manifestations of religion were the regular practice, -and dancing was both wild and universal. The new artistic -conceptions show the clear influence of this spirit on the -more restrained art of the fourth-century schools. The -Dancing Maenad of Berlin,<a id="FNanchor_17" href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">17</a> the Aphrodite Kallipygos of -Naples,<a id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">18</a> and the famous Sleeping Hermaphrodite<a id="FNanchor_19" href="#Footnote_19" class="fnanchor">19</a> are -further examples of the marvellous flesh treatment and the -wild frenzy of movement which we learn to associate with -third-century Pergamene art.</p> - -<p>Apart from the general spirit of Pergamene work there -are several definite technical peculiarities which enable us -to postulate a Pergamene origin for many unclassed works -of the Hellenistic age. These can be gathered from the -definitely Pergamene Gallic statues, which we have yet to -discuss, and from the satyr types already mentioned. One is -the hair tossed up off the forehead and falling in lank matted -locks of wild disordered type. The eyebrows are usually -straight and shaggy, with a heavy bulge of the frontal sinus -over the nose. The cheekbones are prominent, and the lips -thick and parted. In the body the most marked feature is -the desire to get away from the old-fashioned straight plane -for the front of the torso. The lower part of the chest usually -projects strongly, while the waist is drawn in, so that the -profile of the torso is shaped like a very obtuse <i>z</i>. In the -female body there is a general affection for rather heavy forms -with a good envelope of flesh. The artist’s skill is here -devoted mainly to the delineation of surface. The heads of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">9</span> -such female figures as we can attribute to Pergamene art -show very little expression. The hair is done on the Praxitelean -model, but the locks tend to become more rope-like -and twisted as time goes on. We cannot point to any great -peculiarities in the Pergamene treatment of women. Neither -Lysippos nor Scopas seems to have had much effect on the -feminine types of Greek sculpture. The whole Hellenistic -age is in servitude to Praxitelean ideals of women whether -in Alexandria, Rhodes, or Pergamon. The differences are -only in the details of execution, the Pergamenes tending -always towards clear cutting of hair and features, while the -Alexandrines preferred an impressionist smoothing away of -all sharp edges.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_3" class="figleft" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_008.jpg" width="985" height="2373" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">3</div></div> - -<div id="ip_4" class="figright" style="max-width: 83em;"> - <img src="images/i_008b.jpg" width="1319" height="2377" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">4</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>We come now to the two great dedications of Attalos -for his victories over the Gauls.<a id="FNanchor_20" href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">20</a> These were made at some -time later than 241 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and consist of two series of statues. -One is life-size or larger, and is represented by some of the -best-known examples of Hellenistic sculpture, such as the -Dying Gaul<a id="FNanchor_21" href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">21</a> and the Ludovisi group of a Gaul slaying his -wife and himself (<a href="#ip_4">Fig. 4</a>). The other consisted of a number -of small figures about three feet high, and was dedicated by -Attalos in Athens, where they stood on the parapet of the -south wall of the Acropolis. Four battle-groups were included—a -gigantomachy, an Amazonomachy, a battle of Greeks and -Persians, and a battle of Greeks and Gauls. Several copies -from this smaller group are in existence, the best known being -in Naples.<a id="FNanchor_22" href="#Footnote_22" class="fnanchor">22</a> The originals of both groups were probably -in bronze, and we have the names of some of the artists of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">10</span> -the larger group, Phyromachos, Antigonos, and Epigonos -or Isigonos. Stratonicos and Niceratos of Athens may also -have taken part.<a id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">23</a></p> - -<p>These works all deserve careful study, as they differ -in many ways from the rather sensual and ecstatic art which -we know to have preceded them, and the very <i>baroque</i> and -exaggerated art which followed them in the next century -on the great altar. Eumenes and Attalos had to fight for their -lives against the Gauls, and a temporary return to an austerer -and less luxurious art would be a not unnatural result of the -great war. We certainly find in the treatment of the Amazons -or of the wife of the Ludovisi Gaul no such insistence on -sexual detail as marks the earlier studies of the feminine -form, and the expression of the male figures is distinguished -by more ideal emotions of courage or resignation than the -frenzy of the satyrs and the passions of the later gods and -giants. The Attalid dedications show some <i>bravura</i> of pose; -the Ludovisi Gaul is a little histrionic in his attitude; but -as a whole they are sober and restrained sculpture, when -compared with the satyrs on the one hand and the altar -frieze on the other. In that sense they represent the high-water -mark of Pergamene art, inspired with an equal skill, -but with a nobler ideal than the earlier work, and not subject -to the somewhat grotesque exaggerations of its later activities. -Greek art has few nobler figures to show than the Dying -Gaul of the Capitol, itself an admirable and closely contemporary -copy, perhaps made in Ephesos, of the bronze original -at Pergamon. The sober restraint of the torso modelling is -remarkable, and contrasts most forcibly with the altar frieze. -The pathos of the expression and attitude is not forced or<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">11</span> -exaggerated in any way, and if the curious hair gives a touch -of strangeness to the head, we must account for it as a -naturalistic detail of the Gallic fashion of greasing and oiling -the hair. The Ludovisi Gaul is a superb work, rather more -exaggerated, both in expression and in detail, than the Capitol -figure. The right arm is perhaps wrongly restored, as it -hides the face from the front, but it is more likely that the -group should be looked at from a position farther to the left, -where the face, the fine stride, and the technical <i>tour de force</i> -of the cloak can all be appreciated more fully. The woman’s -face is not well finished, and her whole pose is more effective -from the other point of view. The Pergamene peculiarities -in the treatment of chest and waist are clearly visible in -this figure.</p> - -<p>The little figures in Naples, the Louvre, Venice, and -elsewhere are partly recumbent dead figures of Persians, -giants, and Amazons, and partly crouching figures defending -themselves. None of the victorious Greeks seems to have -survived, except possibly the torso of a horseman in the -Terme Museum. They are dry, rather hard figures, much -inferior in skill to the larger group and much closer to the -bronze originals which they represent. The head of a dead -Persian in the Terme Museum (<a href="#ip_5">Fig. 5</a>) is probably a more -worthy copy (on a larger scale) of one of the figures of this -series. Its type of features and its moustache resemble the -Ludovisi Gaul. Another fine Gallic head is in the Gizeh -Museum at Cairo (<a href="#ip_6">Fig. 6</a>). This has been often called an -original, an Alexandrian variant of the Gallic dedications. -There is, however, no need to separate it from the others. -If it shows more emotion, that only brings it rather closer -to what we know of earlier Pergamene art. The provenance<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">12</span> -of the Gizeh head is disputed, and it may be only a recent -importation into Egypt.<a id="FNanchor_24" href="#Footnote_24" class="fnanchor">24</a></p> - -<p>We now come to the frieze of the great altar at Pergamon -(<a href="#ip_7">Fig. 7</a>), the contribution of Eumenes II to the series of -monuments commemorating the defeats of the barbarians. -Here again we have several inscriptions of artists,<a id="FNanchor_25" href="#Footnote_25" class="fnanchor">25</a> which -are especially interesting as showing that four foreign artists -of Attic, Ephesian, and Rhodian origin all contributed to -the great monument. It is, however, quite uniform and -unique in character, and shows a <i>baroque</i> exaggeration of -expression and of muscular detail, which in the end becomes -monotonous and overpowering. The slight tendency towards -a histrionic attitude, which we noticed in the Ludovisi Gaul, -has now become much more pronounced. Most of the figures -are in stage attitudes of fright, ferocity, attack, or defence. -Their bodies are covered either with drapery in wild disorder, -or, if naked, with massive rolls and lumps of muscle, which -are almost comical in their exaggeration. Their hair is in -unrestrained twisted snaky locks; their faces are distorted -in fierce expressions of anger or alarm; they are in every -conceivable attitude of attack or defence. When we add to -this the colossal size of the monument and its figures, we can -well understand how its remains became known to early -Christian writers as the throne of Satan.<a id="FNanchor_26" href="#Footnote_26" class="fnanchor">26</a></p> - -<div class="center narrow3"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_5" class="figleft b0" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_012.jpg" width="983" height="1198" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">5</div></div> - -<div id="ip_6" class="figright b0" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_012b.jpg" width="983" height="1203" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">6</div></div> -</div></div> - -<div class="center narrow3"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_7" class="figleft p0" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_012c.jpg" width="982" height="1443" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">7</div></div> - -<div id="ip_8" class="figright p0" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_012d.jpg" width="990" height="1438" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">8</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>The subject of the frieze is the battle of the gods and -the giants, and the members of the Olympic Pantheon are -represented in attitudes of triumph over the serpent-footed -denizens of Tartarus. This is probably the first appearance -in sculpture of the serpent feet of the giant. Every earlier<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">13</span> -artist had realized how such a ridiculous detail would detract -from the strength and probability of his figures, but the -Pergamene artists are so glad of the chance of displaying -extra technical skill that they pass over the artistic difficulty -without hesitation. The great frieze of the altar is like the -work of a megalomaniac. The restraint and good taste -which have accompanied all Hellenic art hitherto are quite -forgotten, and we are reminded rather of some Assyrian -scene of carnage and destruction. This is the more curious, -because the smaller frieze of the altar, the Telephos frieze, -which is contemporary with the larger one, shows altogether -a different character. It has therefore been plausibly argued, -with the support of some of the artists’ signatures, that the -main style of the work is Rhodian rather than Pergamene.<a id="FNanchor_27" href="#Footnote_27" class="fnanchor">27</a> -The view would only involve us in further difficulties when -we come to consider Rhodian art. There is Rhodian influence -in the frieze, but the technical details of hair, faces, and -bodies as a whole correspond closely to Pergamene art. -Moreover, on <i>a priori</i> grounds, Pergamene art is much more -likely to be affected by exotic oriental influences than the -purer Rhodian. It is easier to assume a special development -of Pergamene art in this exaggerated direction for a monument -which was itself a special and exceptional memorial. -The whole character of the work is a reversion to an earlier -idealistic phase of art, though carried out on very different -artistic lines. This is no romantic or frivolous treatment of -mythological detail. It is a great conception of the victory -of right over might, of Hellas over the barbarian, and as -such the great altar of Pergamon stands quite apart from -most of the work of the Hellenistic age, and serves rather<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">14</span> -as a connecting link between the Parthenon on the one hand -and the Imperial trophies of Augustus, like the Ara Pacis, -on the other. It demonstrates the lack of judgement and -balance in Hellenistic art, but it is a good proof that the -Hellenistic school was not wholly absorbed in questions of -<i>bravura</i> and technique, but could rise, even if in rather -clumsy fashion, to the level of a great occasion.</p> - -<p>The smaller frieze of Pergamon, giving incidents in the -myth of Telephos, is of a very different type (<a href="#ip_8">Fig. 8</a>). Firstly, -the subject is not a unity in time and place, but a continuous -narration of mythological episodes. It thus resembles the -setting in a continuous frieze of a number of metope-subjects. -Telephos appears in different situations in a scene which -apparently is uniform. This is a decidedly new departure -in artistic theory, and it had the profoundest effect on all -subsequent art. We need not, of course, see in the Telephos -frieze the first appearance of this custom, but it happens to -be the earliest surviving monument in which the principle -is easily remarked. Moreover, the information as to change -of scene is conveyed by means of changes in the background, -so that we see in it another new departure: the use of a -significant pictorial background instead of the blank wall -against which earlier reliefs had been set. Here again the -Hellenistic artist revives rather than originates. The pictorial -background occurs as early as the ‘Erechtheum’ <i>poros</i> pediment -of the Acropolis, but during the fifth and fourth centuries -the idea was dropped only to reappear at a later date.</p> - -<p>We have already seen that relief sculpture at all stages -of its history is closely affected by the kindred art of painting. -During the fourth century painting underwent changes in -the direction of naturalism as marked as, if not more marked<span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">15</span> -than, the corresponding changes in sculpture. The late -fourth century and the third century form the great period -of Greek painting, in which the names of Parrhasios, Protogenes, -and Apelles stand supreme. A true and correct -feeling for perspective and a naturalistic scheme of colouring -were the main discoveries of the period, discoveries which -we are only able to appreciate in very roundabout methods -through Pompeian wall-paintings and mummy-cases from -the Fayum. All Hellenistic sculpture is profoundly influenced -by painting, as we shall see; but naturally the art of relief -is nearest akin and shows most clearly the effects of graphic -ideas. The Hellenistic reliefs are almost all adaptations of -pictures, and the Telephos frieze earns its main interest -and reputation because it is one of the first monuments -to show this influence very clearly. We find a true use of -perspective in part of this frieze, and a deliberate intention -to create the impression of depth.</p> - -<p>One of the first results of these innovations was to free -relief from its subordination to architecture. It begins now -to take its place as a self-sufficing artistic object like a picture. -Greek pictures were mainly of the fresco type, and therefore -immovably fixed to walls, though easel pictures now begin -to be more frequent. There was nothing dissimilar in the -position of a relief decorating a wall-panel without architectural -significance. This idea found its earliest manifestation -in Ionia with friezes of the Assos type on an architrave -block, and therefore at variance with architectural principles. -Friezes as wall decorations appear commonly in the Ionian -buildings of the fifth and fourth centuries, like the Nereid -and Trysa monuments and the Mausoleum. We find in the -Hellenistic age the use of panels as wall decorations quite<span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">16</span> -frequent all over Asia Minor. Thus at Cyzicus we have -some curious mythological reliefs called Stylopinakia, which -appear to have been panels fixed between the columns of -a peristyle. We have the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaos -of Priene, a clear instance of the decorative panel with -a pictorial background; we have smaller pieces like the -Menander relief in the Lateran; the visit of Dionysos to -a dramatic poet; and all the series of so-called Hellenistic -reliefs ascribed by Schreiber<a id="FNanchor_28" href="#Footnote_28" class="fnanchor">28</a> to an Alexandrian origin, by -Wickhoff<a id="FNanchor_29" href="#Footnote_29" class="fnanchor">29</a> to the Augustan age and Italian art. The reliefs, -like other sculpture of the Hellenistic age, cannot be judged -as a whole.<a id="FNanchor_30" href="#Footnote_30" class="fnanchor">30</a> Some are Augustan, like the reliefs in the -Palazzo Spada, and some are undoubtedly Alexandrian, like -the Grimani reliefs in Vienna. Others, again, show a strong -Lysippic influence, which at once connects them with -Rhodes. The Telephos frieze, however, is Pergamene, and -the Cyzicus reliefs must have fallen mainly in the Pergamene -sphere of art. We are, therefore, entitled to demand a separation -of the reliefs into just as many classes as the sculpture. -A fine piece of very high relief from Pergamon is the group -of Prometheus on the Caucasus freed by Herakles.<a id="FNanchor_31" href="#Footnote_31" class="fnanchor">31</a> Besides -the influence of pictures on relief there is also the influence of -earlier sculpture. One of the figures in the Telephos relief -reproduces the Weary Herakles of Lysippos.<a id="FNanchor_32" href="#Footnote_32" class="fnanchor">32</a> It would not -be difficult to point out other examples of the adaptation of -older types. The Marsyas group is itself a case in point. -The indifference of the Hellenistic artist to his subject made -him the readier to adapt earlier types, provided he had a free -hand for his details of execution and expression.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_9" class="figleft" style="max-width: 104em;"> - <img src="images/i_016.jpg" width="1662" height="2384" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">9</div></div> - -<div id="ip_10" class="figright" style="max-width: 45em;"> - <img src="images/i_016b.jpg" width="708" height="2384" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">10</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">17</span></p> - -<p>The figures of Pergamene art as a whole are short and -stocky with squarish deep heads. They correspond to the -Scopaic, pre-Lysippic, and Peloponnesian type, but the -Lysippic improvements in pose and swing of the body are -thoroughly appreciated and adopted. From Praxiteles are -derived the female type and the interest in the satyr as a -vehicle of sculptural expression. The athletic art of Lysippos -and the school of Sikyon is practically unrepresented at -Pergamon or in those regions of Ionia and Bithynia which -are connected with it and at which we must now glance.</p> - -<p>From Priene we have remains of a gigantomachy and some -other sculpture.<a id="FNanchor_33" href="#Footnote_33" class="fnanchor">33</a> The influence of Praxiteles is marked, -and the work as a whole is clearly under Pergamene guidance. -From Magnesia we have remains of a great Amazonomachy -belonging to the frieze of the temple of Artemis Leucophryene -and dating from the end of the third century. The work -is dull and careless but strongly under the influence of Pergamon. -We shall in fact find no more architectural reliefs -of even tolerable quality. The new landscape or pictorial -reliefs occupied the attention of the sculptors, and temple -decoration was left entirely to workmen.</p> - -<p>One of the great Hellenistic art centres is Tralles, whose -treasures are mainly to be seen in the Constantinople museum. -The colossal Apollo or Dionysos (<a href="#ip_9">Fig. 9</a>) is closely connected -in pose and treatment with the Apollo of the Marsyas group, -and shows even more clearly than the torso in the Uffizi -the influence of Praxiteles. The cloaked ephebe of Tralles -(<a href="#ip_10">Fig. 10</a>) is a good example of the eclecticism of the age. -The leaning attitude with the crossed legs reminds us of -the satyrs of Praxiteles and his school, but the head is quite<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">18</span> -different and is strongly reminiscent of Myron. Boethos of -Chalcedon belongs by birth to the northern or Pergamene -sphere of influence, but he worked in Rhodes and will be -more suitably considered in connexion with Rhodian art. -Pergamene influence was also strong in the islands and on -the mainland. We shall see that the school of Melos and -both Attic and Peloponnesian art during the late third and -second centuries were obviously affected by it.</p> - -<hr /> - -<div id="chap_19" class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">19</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="II">II<br /> -<span class="subhead">THE SCHOOL OF ALEXANDRIA</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">It</span> may well be questioned whether we are really in a -position to separate the Hellenistic schools as definitely -and surely as we can separate the Attic and Peloponnesian -schools of the fifth and fourth centuries or the earlier local -schools of the sixth. In the Hellenistic age we find a far -greater uniformity and cosmopolitanism in art than ever -before. The conquests of Alexander had been in the long -run Panhellenic, and outside the mainland at any rate the -title Greek came at last to mean more than merely a man’s -city or state. It has therefore been argued by some critics -that we must not expect to find the same local distinctions -in Hellenistic art. In a cosmopolitan world with easy -communications local and separate developments were no -longer possible. This position is plausible, and so far as -the question of ideals or even types is concerned there is -little to choose between the Hellenistic schools. The so-called -Hellenistic reliefs are probably of very diverse origin; -the Hellenistic love for <i>genre</i> scenes and for the grotesque -appears to be universally indulged; the erotic groups of -Pergamon were certainly equally popular in Alexandria; -the influence of painting and the adaptation of earlier -sculptural types are found in all parts of the Aegean world. -But there does seem to be a distinction in technical execution -between the three great schools of the period, which is -sufficient to justify their consideration in three separate<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">20</span> -chapters. While Pergamon is predominantly subject to -the Scopaic-Praxitelean mixed tradition with an especial -fondness for extremely clear-cut work and soft finish, Rhodes -appears to be equally faithful to the Lysippic athletic tradition, -and Alexandria to a strongly impressionist development of -Praxitelean ideas joined to a fondness for unsparing realism -in the grotesque, a combination not infrequent in the decadence -of art. For Alexandrian art, more than any of the others, -deserves the title of decadent through its abandonment of -every vestige of idealism in motive.</p> - -<p>We know the connexion of Alexandria with Athens -was close in the late fourth century, especially during the -rule of Demetrios of Phaleron in its closing decades. It -was at this time that Bryaxis made the Sarapis (<a href="#ip_12">Fig. 12</a>), -which has perhaps survived for us in the innumerable -copies of a wild-haired, heavily bearded head with shadowed -mysterious eyes. During the next century Macedonia was -the chief foe of Athens and of the Ptolemies, and all the -earlier Egyptian rulers were on close terms of friendship -with the city. Thus a predominant influence of Athens and -of the greatest of the fourth-century Athenian sculptors, -Praxiteles, is only what we should anticipate in Alexandrian -art. It has, however, been argued that we have no evidence -for a native art of Alexandria at all.<a id="FNanchor_34" href="#Footnote_34" class="fnanchor">34</a> While importing much -late Attic sculpture, she borrowed also from Pergamon -works like the Gaul’s head at Cairo,<a id="FNanchor_35" href="#Footnote_35" class="fnanchor">35</a> and from Antioch -a group like the Dresden Aphrodite with the Triton.<a id="FNanchor_36" href="#Footnote_36" class="fnanchor">36</a> She -was in fact a collecting rather than an originating centre.</p> - -<div class="center narrow"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_11" class="figleft" style="max-width: 84em;"> - <img src="images/i_020.jpg" width="1341" height="2591" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">11</div></div> - -<div id="ip_12" class="figcenter noclear" style="max-width: 55em;"> - <img src="images/i_020b.jpg" width="880" height="1217" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">12</div></div> - -<div id="ip_13" class="figright" style="max-width: 56em;"> - <img src="images/i_020c.jpg" width="885" height="949" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">13</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">21</span> -This view is improbable on many grounds. The Egyptians -were a people with a keen artistic sense, and the sudden -introduction of a new race like the Greeks with their passion -for cultural expression could hardly fail to give an impetus to -artistic output. Moreover, a great revival in architecture is -noticeable all over Egypt. The Ptolemaic age is one of the -great building periods of the Nile valley. Further, our -authorities are unanimous on the importance and brilliance -of the Alexandrian school of painting, and we know that in -gem-cutting Pyrgoteles started a development never surpassed -in antiquity or modern times. In literature, in -criticism, and in science the museum of Alexandria held the -chief place, and it is impossible to suppose that Egypt -remained a mere collector of sculpture without any original -development of her own. We must, therefore, examine the -artistic products of Hellenistic Egypt to see if they exhibit any -technical peculiarities marking them off from other Hellenistic -centres and compelling us to credit them with a local origin.</p> - -<p>Any study of the sculpture of Alexandrian origin reveals -one characteristic almost invariably present in serious work, -as opposed to the grotesque, and absent from the certified -products of other centres. This is that quality of slurring -over all sharp detail in the features and producing a highly -polished, almost liquidly transparent surface for which we -have borrowed the Italian term <i>morbidezza</i>.<a id="FNanchor_37" href="#Footnote_37" class="fnanchor">37</a> Instances of -this highly impressionist treatment are to be found in the -British Museum head of Alexander from Alexandria, and -also in the Sieglin head from the same place; in the Triton -head of the Dresden Alexandrian group of Triton and -Aphrodite; in the many Anadyomene copies which are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">22</span> -mostly connected with Alexandria, such for instance as the -beautiful statue recently found in Cyrenaica (<a href="#ip_11">Fig. 11</a>); in -girls’ heads from Alexandria in Copenhagen and Dresden. -In most of these works and in many others the soft transparent -quality of the face is matched by a quite rough impressionist -blocking-out of the hair. Thus we find both the characteristics -of Praxitelean impressionism, the rough hair and the -soft liquid gaze, exaggerated and intensified in Alexandrian -sculpture. While the female hair of Pergamene art is invariably -clear-cut and rope-like, Alexandrian hair is normally -of the rough crinkly Praxitelean type, sometimes merely -formal, at others more complicated and complete. This -impressionist character of Alexandrian sculpture is borne -out by what we know of its painting, and is doubtless due -to some extent to the great influence of painting on sculpture -as well as to the influence of Praxiteles.</p> - -<p>Another technical point about Alexandrian sculpture is -connected with the local conditions of the country. Egypt is -not a country of marble, and therefore the artists had to be -economical in the use of it. This is probably the reason -why so many Alexandrian heads have the faces complete -in marble but the hair added separately in stucco, where -the colouring would render the difference in material hardly -noticeable. Thus many statues of Alexandrian origin have -large pieces of the upper part of their heads smoothed away -and left for the addition of stucco. This phenomenon is -not confined to Alexandrian art, though it is much commoner -at Alexandria than elsewhere, and where we find it in combination -with the other qualities of impressionism and -<i>morbidezza</i> already noticed we may feel fairly confident in -claiming an Alexandrian origin for the work in question.</p> - -<div class="center narrow"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_14" class="figleft" style="max-width: 49em;"> - <img src="images/i_022.jpg" width="770" height="1633" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">14</div></div> - -<div id="ip_15" class="figcenter noclear" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_022b.jpg" width="989" height="1615" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">15</div></div> - -<div id="ip_16" class="figright" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_022c.jpg" width="983" height="1620" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">16</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">23</span></p> - -<p>This theory is admirably illustrated in the beautiful little -head of a girl from Chios recently acquired by the Boston -Museum (<a href="#ip_13">Fig. 13</a>). The head shows us an extreme degree -of <i>morbidezza</i> in the softening of all the sharper facial lines -such as eyelids and lips. The face is seen almost through -a slight haze, and it thus gets some of the impression conveyed -by distance. Where the head is worked it is quite rough -and formal in purely impressionist style, but most of the hair -was to be added in stucco, as the sharp cuts on the upper -part of the head demonstrate. The head has been attributed -too enthusiastically to Praxiteles himself. It is good work, -but it is not by the author of the Hermes. The too mechanical -smile and the too formal cheeks show a less masterly touch. -But it is a perfect embodiment of Alexandrian art about -300 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> and must be unhesitatingly attributed to its real -origin. We see a general copy of the Praxitelean long face -with eyes about the centre of the head, Praxitelean proportions, -and Praxitelean head-type.</p> - -<p>Another head of Alexandrian origin is the fine bearded -head of the Capitol Museum (<a href="#ip_14">Fig. 14</a>), which is really almost -a mask with the whole of the top and sides of the head left -for stucco additions. The rough blocking of the beard shows -the artist’s impressionist leanings. The long face is purely -Attic, though perhaps closer to Bryaxis or some later artist -than to Praxiteles. The head is more or less akin to the -Sarapis head and to the other much finer bearded head -which stands in close relation to the Sarapis, the well-known -Zeus of Otricoli (<a href="#ip_15">Fig. 15</a>). In the Otricoli head we have -a similar prominence of the cheek-bones, a similar narrowing -of the forehead above the frontal sinus—Attic features -but not Praxitelean. The Otricoli Zeus is also a marble<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">24</span> -work cut for stucco additions, some of which are still visible, -and we should probably recognize in it another work of early -Alexandrian origin. It is perhaps not too daring to see the -prototype of these Attic-shaped non-Praxitelean Alexandrian -bearded heads in the Sarapis of Bryaxis.<a id="FNanchor_38" href="#Footnote_38" class="fnanchor">38</a> Bryaxis or some -other late Attic artist seems to have affected the bearded -male type of Alexandria much as Praxiteles influenced the -feminine ideal. Nottingham Castle contains a bearded head -from Nemi,<a id="FNanchor_39" href="#Footnote_39" class="fnanchor">39</a> which belongs to the same class of work. Here -again we have the hair added in stucco and a general resemblance -to the Otricoli type.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_17" class="figleft" style="max-width: 64em;"> - <img src="images/i_024.jpg" width="1014" height="2671" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">17</div></div> - -<div id="ip_18" class="figright" style="max-width: 64em;"> - <img src="images/i_024b.jpg" width="1016" height="2681" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">18</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>One of the new Greco-Alexandrian types was naturally -the goddess Isis. A head in the Louvre (<a href="#ip_16">Fig. 16</a>) gives us -a version of this figure, which still, even in a poor Roman -copy, shows us something of the languid elegance of the -original. There is no traceable influence of Scopas in Alexandrian -art. The Praxitelean and Attic tradition was transferred -pure, and therefore the liveliness of movement and -action in Pergamene art is quite absent from the art of -Alexandria. Statues are mainly small, partly perhaps for -economy, and partly from the lack of all desire for comparison -with the gigantic masterpieces of ancient Egypt, and they are -limited to simple standing or seated poses. An interesting -statue of obvious Alexandrian origin is the priest of Isis in -the Capitol (<a href="#ip_17">Fig. 17</a>), which has been wrongly restored with -a female head. This head is itself Alexandrian, as its hair -demonstrates, but it has no connexion with the body, which is -male, though draped in a light clinging tunic.<a id="FNanchor_40" href="#Footnote_40" class="fnanchor">40</a> The tunic<span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">25</span> -is interesting as giving us a good example of Alexandrian -drapery. We may notice the very small closely set folds, -and the extreme realistic care with which the loose parts of -the drapery are distinguished from those tightly stretched. -There is an element of artificiality no doubt in the way in -which the folds radiate from the great jar carried against the -chest and in their close symmetry of design, but as a whole -the effect of texture is marvellously well secured. We have -here a good example of the naturalism which now plays a large -part in Alexandrian art.</p> - -<p>Another statue which we must claim for Alexandrian -art is the Capitoline Venus (<a href="#ip_18">Fig. 18</a>), an extremely interesting -statue not only as a first-rate original but from its relation -to the Cnidian goddess of Praxiteles. The face and the hair -show the usual qualities of Alexandrian impressionism; -the fringed mantle thrown over the water-pot is the mantle -of the Egyptian Isis, and the foreshortening of the foot of -the amphora is just the pictorial touch we expect in Alexandrian -art. But the most interesting light which this -statue throws on Alexandrian art is its directness and want -of subtlety in motive. The goddess of Cnidos is naked, -but she is only half-conscious of her nakedness. Her eyes -are fixed on eternity, and the actual bath is a mere accessory -like the child of the Hermes. But the Capitoline goddess -is not thinking of eternity at all. She is stepping into her -bath, and is suddenly aware of a spectator’s gaze. She is the -classical counterpart of Susannah in Renaissance art. All -the vague beauty of the Attic statue is lost by the touch of -Alexandrian realism, which amounts almost to vulgarity. -As to the treatment of the body it is again real and not ideal. -The back in particular shows a close study of the model<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">26</span> -without any of the selective idealism of classical art. Like -the beautiful torso in Syracuse<a id="FNanchor_41" href="#Footnote_41" class="fnanchor">41</a> it is a marvellous study -from nature, not marked by any vestige of idealism.</p> - -<p>Another head in the Capitol, the so-called Ariadne -(<a href="#ip_19">Fig. 19</a>), perhaps really a Dionysos, also suggests an Alexandrian -origin with its long face, eyes close together, and -crinkly hair.<a id="FNanchor_42" href="#Footnote_42" class="fnanchor">42</a> It is a very favourite Roman head often copied, -and must belong to some famous original. It wears a band, -which presses into the hair, and its sleepy languid gaze is -remarkable. This is produced by making the upper eyelid -nearly straight and the lower one well curved. The face is -long and heavy. Both eye-shape and head recall the Boston -girl from Chios and other Alexandrian statues. The surface -of the face is highly polished, the hair left crinkly and rough—an -Alexandrian procedure. If we can accept this head, -we must class with it two heads of identical facial type, the -Eubouleus of Eleusis<a id="FNanchor_43" href="#Footnote_43" class="fnanchor">43</a> sometimes attributed to Praxiteles, -and the so-called Inopos from Delos in the Louvre (<a href="#ip_20">Fig. 20</a>). -Alexandrian dedications might plausibly be expected at -Delos and Eleusis. Both Inopos and Eubouleus are highly -impressionist. We have said enough to show that what we -may call the serious art of Alexandria had certain characteristics -of technique and execution, which render not -impossible an attempt to classify and arrange an Alexandrian -school of sculpture. We must now turn to another side -of Alexandrian art which, if of less artistic interest, is -nevertheless of paramount importance in our study of -Hellenistic art.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_19" class="figleft" style="max-width: 71em;"> - <img src="images/i_026.jpg" width="1128" height="2173" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">19</div></div> - -<div id="ip_20" class="figright" style="max-width: 79em;"> - <img src="images/i_026b.jpg" width="1262" height="2189" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">20</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">27</span></p> - -<p>The people of Alexandria were noted in the ancient -world as scoffers and cynics. Their temper was fiery, their -jests were brutal, and reverence of any kind was unknown to -them. A cosmopolitan medley of Greek, Macedonian, -native Egyptian, Jew, and every nation of the East, they were -united only in their utter diversity of point of view and their -scepticism of all ideal obligation. To such a people caricature -and a love of the grotesque were almost second nature. By -the side of the greater art of Alexandria it is easy to discern -a lesser art of comic, grotesque, and obscene statuettes of -every description. Greek realism in portraiture went back -to the Pellichos of Demetrios with his great paunch and -scanty hair in the early fourth century.<a id="FNanchor_44" href="#Footnote_44" class="fnanchor">44</a> With the end of -the century the satyr was a recognized medium for every -variety of the <i>baroque</i> and the <i>macabre</i> in expression. But -in Alexandria above all the grotesque exaggeration of natural -defects found its true popularity. The negro, the hunchback, -the drunkard, the <i>crétin</i> of every kind, became popular -artistic models. As if the delineation of youth and beauty -was exhausted, the Hellenistic sculptors of Alexandria rushed -into the portrayal of disease, of old age, and of mutilation in -every form. They suffered as much as any modern decadent -from ‘la nostalgie de la boue’. Here again we must beware -of attributing to Alexandria all the grotesque figures of -Hellenistic art and all its pieces of most painful naturalism. -Pergamon, if not Rhodes, and doubtless Antioch must have -played their part in the commonest form of artistic decadence; -but we have so much of this work certified as Alexandrian, -that we are justified in regarding Egypt as its chief and most -popular home. Works of this type fall into two classes:<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">28</span> -the purely grotesque and the extremely naturalistic. The -former class is more or less confined to statuettes, of which -a number are collected in Perdrizet’s <i>Bronzes grecs d’Egypte -de la Collection Fouquet</i>, and the account of the Mahdia ship -in <i>Monuments Piot</i> for 1909 and 1910. These include -gnomes, pygmies, dwarfs (<a href="#ip_21">Fig. 21</a>), and little obscene figures -of all kinds. Needless to say, Praxitelean qualities of <i>morbidezza</i> -and impressionism have no place in art of this kind. -We may presume that the demand was primarily foreign -and not Greek, though all the skill of Greek sculpture is -employed in the faultless execution of many of them. Their -Alexandrian origin is better attested than that of the second -class of extremely naturalistic works.</p> - -<p>The latter are more important and more interesting. -They include some of the most skilful works of sculpture -ever achieved. The splendid negro’s head of Berlin<a id="FNanchor_45" href="#Footnote_45" class="fnanchor">45</a> and -the fisherman of the Louvre are of undoubted Alexandrian -origin, but such works as the fisherman and the peasant -woman of the Conservatori<a id="FNanchor_46" href="#Footnote_46" class="fnanchor">46</a> or the old women of the Capitol -and of Dresden are not so clear in their origin. When we -get a statue of this type, combined with some clearly Alexandrian -quality, such as the so-called Diogenes of the Villa -Albani<a id="FNanchor_47" href="#Footnote_47" class="fnanchor">47</a>—a naked beggar carried out with fine realism but -also with considerable <i>morbidezza</i> and impressionism—we -may claim an Alexandrian origin; but impressionism is rare -among such statues, as the artists seem to love to dwell on -every detail. We may, however, regard them as a single -class irrespective of their individual origin. The Louvre<span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">29</span> -fisherman<a id="FNanchor_48" href="#Footnote_48" class="fnanchor">48</a> deserves careful study for its absolutely unsparing -truth to nature. The slackness of skin caused by long wading -in water, the swelling of the veins through hard work, the -feebleness and hollowness of chest due to old age or disease, -the coarse peasant’s head, in which each wrinkle is faithfully -delineated, deserve our wonder if not our admiration. The -little companion pair in the Conservatori, though inferior -in workmanship as Roman copies, are also full of interest -for their vitality and truth. Finest of all perhaps is the -splendid old woman’s head in Dresden (<a href="#ip_22">Fig. 22</a>), with its -marvellous mimicry of the ravages of age. Such art is -decadent, because it is pessimistic, cynical, and unhappy, -and because it refuses to select and idealize as it might do -even in studies of decay; but of its brilliant execution there -can be no doubt. Only the Chinese have made grotesques -which can rank with the products of Alexandria.</p> - -<p>This is a convenient place for dealing with the great -series of Hellenistic reliefs, though it is no longer possible -to maintain that these have a uniform and common origin -either in Alexandria or in Imperial Rome.<a id="FNanchor_49" href="#Footnote_49" class="fnanchor">49</a> We have seen -their beginning in the Telephos frieze, the first to show us -a pictorial background and an episodic mythological treatment. -The appearance of the relief panel as a self-sufficient -whole without architectural background is an invention of -the Hellenistic age as early as the third century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, but it -continues as an artistic force right through Roman into -mediaeval and modern art. Certainly not even the Hellenistic -reliefs have a common origin, but it is not impossible -that Alexandria was the home of one class of them, the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">30</span> -pre-eminently pastoral scenes like the Grimani reliefs in -Vienna (<a href="#ip_23">Fig. 23</a>). Alexandria was the greatest city of the -Hellenistic world and the farthest from any conception of -the pastoral life of the country. It is, therefore, possible -that the rise of the pastoral tendency in art was connected -with the Alexandrian craving for novelty and variety in -a sphere of which it knew nothing. It is certain that the -pastoral poems of Theocritos delighted the citizens of -Alexandria, and the Hellenistic pastoral relief is strictly -analogous to the poems of Theocritos. It shows a countryside -of the Watteau type with satyrs and nymphs to correspond -to the shepherds and shepherdesses of the court of Louis XIV. -It is an artificial country without a touch of the reality of -nature. Thus the pastoral reliefs and the poems of Theocritos -represent the one element of idealism in the materialistic -culture of Alexandria.</p> - -<div class="center narrow2"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_21" class="figleft b0" style="max-width: 50em;"> - <img src="images/i_030.jpg" width="790" height="971" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">21</div></div> -<div id="ip_23" class="figright b0 land" style="max-width: 124em;"> - <img src="images/i_030c.jpg" width="1973" height="1020" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">23</div></div> -</div></div> - -<div class="center narrow2"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_22" class="figleft p0" style="max-width: 57em;"> - <img src="images/i_030b.jpg" width="897" height="1116" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">22</div></div> -<div id="ip_24" class="figright p0 land" style="max-width: 124em;"> - <img src="images/i_030d.jpg" width="1975" height="1085" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">24</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>The Hellenistic reliefs may be divided into three classes: -the pastoral reliefs such as the scenes showing sheep and -a lioness and cubs, called the Grimani reliefs, in Vienna; -mythological reliefs like the Bellerophon and Pegasus of -the Palazzo Spada,<a id="FNanchor_50" href="#Footnote_50" class="fnanchor">50</a> or Perseus and Andromeda of the Capitol<a id="FNanchor_51" href="#Footnote_51" class="fnanchor">51</a> -in Rome; and more complicated little scenes or groups -like the Menander relief of the Lateran,<a id="FNanchor_52" href="#Footnote_52" class="fnanchor">52</a> the Apotheosis of -Homer,<a id="FNanchor_53" href="#Footnote_53" class="fnanchor">53</a> the slaying of the Niobids,<a id="FNanchor_54" href="#Footnote_54" class="fnanchor">54</a> or the visit of Dionysos -to a dramatic poet.<a id="FNanchor_55" href="#Footnote_55" class="fnanchor">55</a> They are all closely related to painting—how -closely a reference to Pompeian wall-paintings or -mosaics like the famous Praenestine pavement will show—but -there are some differences between the groups which are<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">31</span> -worthy of mention. The pastoral scenes are straightforward -and naturalistic. The little group of a countryman driving -a cow past a ruined temple in Munich is a good example of -straightforward naturalism. The mythological reliefs are -usually distinctly affected in style. The gesture with which -Perseus receives Andromeda is like that of an exquisite -handing a lady from her carriage. Bellerophon waters his -horse with a nonchalant air.<a id="FNanchor_56" href="#Footnote_56" class="fnanchor">56</a> Daedalos and Icaros<a id="FNanchor_57" href="#Footnote_57" class="fnanchor">57</a> present -a curious mixture of affectation and realism. But it may now -be regarded as certain that the Spada reliefs are Augustan -in date at the earliest, and the affectation may well be imported. -This is, indeed, partially demonstrated by a comparison -of the two copies of the Daedalos-Icaros group in -the Villa Albani, of which one is Roman, the other probably -late Hellenistic. At the same time it is remarkable that the -figures of the mythological reliefs all show the long slender -proportions of Lysippos. This at once suggests a Rhodian -connexion. Mythological groups are favourites in Rhodes, -and it is the one place where the Lysippic tradition certainly -lasted. It is not a wholly hazardous suggestion to propose -a Rhodian origin for the mythological, and an Alexandrian -origin for the pastoral, reliefs. One might be tempted, -therefore, to ascribe the most intimate and domestic scenes -to Pergamon, but there is insufficient evidence for proof -at present, though the reliefs deserve careful study with these -possible divisions in mind.</p> - -<p>In general we can only point out their fine naturalism -and perfect execution. Their artists seem to have mastered -all the problems of perspective and to deal with the third -dimension as easily as with the other two. It is natural to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">32</span> -notice some advance in freedom of style. The earlier reliefs, -like the Telephos frieze, or the Dolon relief,<a id="FNanchor_58" href="#Footnote_58" class="fnanchor">58</a> are in less -pronounced relief and with less carefully conceived perspective. -Later reliefs like the so-called Menander relief -show some of the figures in part detached from the background, -while the perspective of a group is most subtly -graded. We may compare the finest of them with the bronze -doors of the Florentine Baptistery and their marvellous panels.</p> - -<p>We are still left with one important monument of Alexandrian -art which perhaps can be treated most fitly in connexion -with the pastoral reliefs—the great statue of the Nile -in the Braccio Nuovo of the Vatican (<a href="#ip_24">Fig. 24</a>). The god lies -out at length supported on his elbow, and little boys, representing -the cubits of his annual rise, play about over him. -The work is a Roman copy, and tells us little of technique, -but the <i>putti</i> are interesting as a typical Hellenistic development. -This is the period in which Eros, who has been growing -steadily younger from the youth of Praxiteles to the boy of -Lysippos, turns finally into the chubby Roman Cupid or -Amorino of Renaissance art. As such he helps Aphrodite -in her toilet or performs all manner of tasks in the fine -frieze of Erotes at Ephesos. It is the logical ending of the -transformation of mythology into <i>genre</i>. Alexandrian art -is essentially mundane and frivolous, sceptical and humorous. -Her artists would have appreciated the earlier Pergamene -developments, but they would have laughed at the clumsy -idealism of the great altar frieze. Nor would they have felt -much sympathy with the athletic art of Rhodes.</p> - -<p>We may perhaps consider here the little we know of the -art of Antioch, since it has certain points in common with<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">33</span> -that of Alexandria. The chief monument used in all discussion -of Antiochene art is the statue of Antioch<a id="FNanchor_59" href="#Footnote_59" class="fnanchor">59</a> on the -Orontes, made by Eutychides, a pupil of Lysippos. A small -copy of this in the Vatican shows us a fine seated figure -crowned with the turreted crown, who rests her foot on -a little male figure with outstretched arms representing the -stream of the Orontes. Unfortunately the copy is too small -to give us much information about the artist, though he seems -to have used the same idea for another statue of the Eurotas. -We have, however, a figure of Aphrodite from Egypt (<a href="#ip_25">Fig. 25</a>), -which shows a supporting Triton in an attitude indubitably -connected with the figure of the Orontes. This is an -Egyptian work, but it argues some artistic connexion between -Alexandria and the Seleucid capital. Another link is given -us by the statement<a id="FNanchor_60" href="#Footnote_60" class="fnanchor">60</a> that the Apollo at Daphne near Antioch -was made by Bryaxis, the author of the Alexandrian Sarapis.</p> - -<p>Antioch, though like Alexandria in many respects—in -her turbulent population, her cosmopolitanism, her irreverence -for all authority—seems never to have developed the -cultured love of literature and the arts which we find at -Pergamon and on the Nile. She remained in all probability -a collector and not an originator of art. The glimpses which -we can get of her statues indicate a catholic taste. The -Apollo seated on the Omphalos, which decorates the Seleucid -coins, resembles the Lysippic type, and a Herakles type, -also found on Syrian coins and reproduced in the bronze -colossus of the Conservatori, has some connexion with the -later Sikyonian school. By the side of these we must place -the Apollo of Bryaxis.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">34</span></p> - -<p>Ephesos, a strong place more or less at the meeting-point -of three empires, has left us considerable remains of Hellenistic -art. Her bronze athlete at Vienna (<a href="#ip_26">Fig. 26</a>) belongs -to a later development of the Scopaic school; her frieze -of Erotes<a id="FNanchor_61" href="#Footnote_61" class="fnanchor">61</a> is more in the Alexandrian manner. Some -beautiful bronzes, in particular a Herakles attacking a centaur,<a id="FNanchor_62" href="#Footnote_62" class="fnanchor">62</a> -are in the mixed Lysippo-Scopaic manner. There -are also traces of Praxitelean influence in her art.</p> - -<p>These cosmopolitan collecting centres cannot tell us much -of the methods of Hellenistic art. Our best resource is to -examine more closely the works of certified origin. Ephesos -is, however, important for its school of copyists. The -marble copies of the Attalid dedications were perhaps made -here, and Agasias, the author of the Borghese Fighter,<a id="FNanchor_63" href="#Footnote_63" class="fnanchor">63</a> was -an Ephesian by birth, although a Rhodian by education.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_25" class="figleft" style="max-width: 73em;"> - <img src="images/i_034.jpg" width="1163" height="2379" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">25</div></div> - -<div id="ip_26" class="figright" style="max-width: 58em;"> - <img src="images/i_034b.jpg" width="917" height="2343" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">26</div></div> -</div></div> - -<hr /> - -<div id="chap_35" class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">35</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="III">III<br /> -<span class="subhead">THE RHODIAN SCHOOL</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">The</span> school of Rhodes stands on a different footing -from that of Pergamon or Alexandria. The latter -were new foundations, or at least new societies, in -which the Greek element was associated with much that was -alien and exotic. The orgiastic wildness of Phrygia went far -to influence the art of Pergamon, whether in its earlier sensuality -or its later pageantry of exaggerated triumph. In -Alexandria and in Antioch non-Greek races imported into -Hellenic art the cynicism and the world-weariness of older -and exhausted civilizations. But Rhodes was pure Greek and -a living, growing, prosperous community without recollections -of humiliation and defeat. Rhodes as a city had been born -of the union of Lindos, Kameiros, and Ialysos at the end of -the fifth century. The fourth century brought slow growth, -but the successful defence against Demetrios Poliorcetes in -its last decade opened a new chapter in Rhodian history. -Henceforward Rhodes was mistress of an empire. She -acquired possessions on the mainland; her fleet rode and -controlled her neighbouring seas; her trade stretched out -tentacles in all directions; and among the semi-barbarous -Hellenistic kingdoms she alone carried proudly the torch -of undefiled Hellenic tradition. Chares of Lindos, a pupil -of Lysippos, headed the long roll of her sculptors; her -painter, Protogenes, had but one rival in the Sikyonian -Apelles. Thus from the first she boasted great artists,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">36</span> -closely connected too with the school of Sikyon. Her Dorian -sympathies naturally isolated her from the Attic school and -from the mixed Praxitelean-Scopaic school of the Ionian -mainland. Her Peloponnesian and Sikyonian connexions -identified her at once with athletic art and with the school of -Lysippos. Thus while Alexandria and Pergamon patronized -marble sculpture, Rhodes now becomes the home of bronze -casting. Her vast Colossus was matched by at least one -hundred more statues of remarkable size, and the roll of her -artists as recorded in inscriptions is noteworthy for its length. -The great siege gave that impulse of idealism which is -necessary for the growth of any artistic development, and -the traditional friendship with the rising power of Rome -helped her to preserve her prosperity and independence -later than any of her neighbours. The last great work of -Rhodian art, the Laocoon, is almost as late as the Empire, -and the whole period of two hundred and fifty years between -it and the Colossus is marked by an immense output of -sculpture.</p> - -<p>We have already suggested that the Hellenistic art of -Rhodes began under the dominant influence of the athletic -school of Lysippos. We must first examine the character -and achievements of this school. Daippos, Boedas, and -Euthykrates are said to have been sons and pupils of the great -Sikyonian. Of these Euthykrates was the best known, and -Pliny tells us that he followed his father’s carefulness -rather than his elegance, and that his style was more severe -than genial (‘constantiam potius imitatus patris quam elegantiam -austero maluit genere quam iucundo placere’).<a id="FNanchor_64" href="#Footnote_64" class="fnanchor">64</a> His -works were mainly athletic or equestrian, with a few female<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">37</span> -subjects, and his pupil Tisicrates was a faithful copyist of -the style of Lysippos, so much so, in fact, that his works -could hardly be distinguished from the master’s. Daippos -made a <i>perixyomenos</i> or athlete scraping himself,<a id="FNanchor_65" href="#Footnote_65" class="fnanchor">65</a> and Boedas -made an <i>adorans</i> or praying figure.<a id="FNanchor_66" href="#Footnote_66" class="fnanchor">66</a></p> - -<p>Pliny’s description is important, because it assures us of -the faithfulness with which the pupils of Lysippos kept to -their master’s style. This is the basis for the argument of -those who see in the Apoxyomenos of the Vatican a work -of the pupil Daippos rather than the master; but the argument -is two-edged, if Lysippos’ own style is to be found in -the Agias, since the two statues have little in common. The -mention of the <i>adorans</i> enables us to connect two well-known -bronzes with this school—the Praying Boy of Berlin -(<a href="#ip_27">Fig. 27</a>) and the Resting Hermes of Naples (<a href="#ip_28">Fig. 28</a>). The -Praying Boy is a subject unparalleled elsewhere, and belongs -to the early Hellenistic age. He can hardly be other than -a copy of the statue of Boedas. The slender proportions and -small head follow the Lysippic canon, and the easy swing -of the body proves its chronological position. This figure -and the others, which we shall subsequently notice, show -a new growth of naturalism by less insistence on the outlines -of the torso muscles. The average body in repose does not -show the massive muscles of Pheidian or even of Lysippic -art, and the post-Lysippic sculptors of the third century -tend to soften and naturalize the torso to a considerable -extent. The Pergamene Dying Gaul is a good example -of this fine restraint, which was utterly abandoned by the -later Pergamene school and even by the late Rhodians, but -which in all third-century art of Rhodes is noteworthy. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">38</span> -Resting Hermes is a fine copy of a post-Lysippic original, -which stood in close connexion with the Praying Boy. The -torso, slender, restrained, and full of vitality, shows the -same treatment, and must belong to the Lysippic school.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_27" class="figleft" style="max-width: 48em;"> - <img src="images/i_038.jpg" width="758" height="2259" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">27</div></div> - -<div id="ip_28" class="figright" style="max-width: 89em;"> - <img src="images/i_038b.jpg" width="1412" height="2267" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">28</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>Eutychides of Sikyon, another pupil of Lysippos, is -known to us only from his Antioch.<a id="FNanchor_67" href="#Footnote_67" class="fnanchor">67</a> This figure, even in -its poor copy, is of great importance, since it is almost the -only certified draped female figure of the Lysippic school. -Our whole theory of Lysippic and early Rhodian drapery -must, therefore, rest upon it. A comparison with the -Herculaneum figure<a id="FNanchor_68" href="#Footnote_68" class="fnanchor">68</a> in Dresden will show at once a considerable -resemblance in treatment, so much so, in fact, that -it has caused the attribution of the Dresden figure to the -Lysippic school. This cannot be allowed because of the -greater resemblance to Attic grave-reliefs and the Mantinean -basis, which demonstrates the origin of the type in the school -of Praxiteles.<a id="FNanchor_69" href="#Footnote_69" class="fnanchor">69</a> But it is sufficient to show that the new -scheme of the school of Praxiteles was adopted in the main -by the pupils of Lysippos; their faithfulness to their teacher -will incline us to the belief that Lysippos used it also. This -type of drapery shows a tendency to an artificially effective -or artistic arrangement rather than to complete simplicity of -naturalism like the drapery of Praxiteles himself, but it is -important to notice that it does not become purely artificial -or stereotyped till much later, and that all the early examples -preserve a considerable share of freer naturalism. The -characteristic of the drapery is an opposition of folds in many -differing directions, so as to counteract the uniformity of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">39</span> -the older Pheidian type. The folds themselves are quite -natural; it is only in their arrangement that we find the -element of art.</p> - -<p>The Antioch permits us to assume the tall figure swathed -in a long thin cloak as the female type of the Lysippic school, -and therefore of the early Rhodian school, while the Praying -Boy and the Resting Hermes give us the male type. The -close connexion postulated rests on the fact that Chares -of Lindos, the author of Rhodes’ most famous statue, the -great Colossus, was himself a member of the Sikyonian -school and a pupil of the master. But the Colossus itself -is unknown to us in any certain copy, and therefore we cannot -speak with full knowledge of his art. Some statuettes in -bronze in marked Lysippic style may well reproduce the -statue, but we cannot feel the necessary certainty in their -identification.</p> - -<p>There is a group of athletic statues of the third century -which carry out the Lysippic tradition to its logical conclusion, -and which consequently we are practically bound to -attribute to Rhodian artists. But until we have a definite -copy of Chares’ work we must argue backwards to the first -Rhodian school, of which we have no direct information, -from the later Rhodian school, of which we know a great -deal. The Laocoon<a id="FNanchor_70" href="#Footnote_70" class="fnanchor">70</a> and the Farnese Bull<a id="FNanchor_71" href="#Footnote_71" class="fnanchor">71</a> are certified -works of Rhodian art of the first century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and they show -us a type of male figure which is quite distinct from the -types of Pergamene and Alexandrian art. We are, therefore, -entitled to argue back to the Rhodian school of the third -century, and to attribute to it such athletic sculpture as is -clearly of the earlier date while offering distinct technical<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">40</span> -and stylistic resemblances to the later groups. The male -figures of this later period differ from the Pergamene -works, with which they are most easily compared, in certain -well-defined points. The heads are smaller and rounder -and the hair is rougher and less carefully arranged. The -eyebrows have a tendency to form sharp angles with the nose -instead of the broad straight curves of the Pergamene brows. -This makes the bridge of the nose thinner and usually -substitutes vertical forehead wrinkles for the swelling frontal -sinus of Pergamene work. Except in cases of great strain -the torso muscles are treated with more restraint, but the -veins receive more careful attention, especially on the -abdomen. In the back a more broken-up system of muscles -replaces the great upright rolls on either side of the backbone, -which mark Pergamene work. Finally, the proportions are -slighter and more Lysippic.</p> - -<p>These considerations apply most powerfully to two great -statues of the Louvre, whose third-century date is almost -certain: the Borghese Warrior<a id="FNanchor_72" href="#Footnote_72" class="fnanchor">72</a> and the Jason (<a href="#ip_30">Fig. 30</a>). -The former statue is by Agasias of Ephesos, an artist whom -we can date with some degree of certainty in the middle of -the third century. The Jason comes so close to the Lysippic -type of Poseidon on the one hand and to the Fighter of -Agasias on the other, that the Lysippic-Rhodian origin of -the two is fairly well established. The analogies of the -Borghese Warrior with the Apoxyomenos have been often -pointed out, but his resemblances to the Laocoon and the -Farnese groups require an equal recognition. Both the Louvre -statues show the influence of a later generation on the -Lysippic type. While reproducing the general proportions,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">41</span> -each develops Lysippic innovations to a further degree. -Lysippos made a distinct advance in anatomical skill, but -both these statues show a more exact scientific knowledge. -While their torso muscles are less prominent, they reveal -new details in abdomen, groin, and the inner side of the -thighs, unknown to the earlier sculptor. They also develop -much further the Lysippic substitution of an all-round -figure for a merely frontal one. Each of them can be regarded -effectively from any point of view, and neither has any real -front. They, therefore, represent a distinct technical advance. -But at the same time they show a decline in artistic feeling, -for there is perhaps too much science about them. They -belong to a school immensely interested in detail, and tending, -therefore, to lose its grasp on the general treatment. The -anatomical structure of the male form cannot be rendered -more perfectly than in the statue of Agasias, so well known -to all art students, but the statue affects us with a feeling -of strain and discomfort from its want of unity and repose. -All the athletic statues of the Rhodian school seem to be -restless and unsatisfied. There is none of the calm repose -about them that marked earlier Greek art. The desire to -display newly acquired scientific knowledge invariably demands -a strained and therefore disquieting motive. As we -shall see when we come to examine the Laocoon later, the -influence of the stage appears to be affecting sculpture. -Poses are histrionic, and expression begins to depend upon -grimaces and action rather than upon more subtle indications -of feeling.</p> - -<p>With the Borghese Fighter and the Jason we may class, -perhaps, a work like the Actaeon torso in the Louvre,<a id="FNanchor_73" href="#Footnote_73" class="fnanchor">73</a> and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">42</span> -also that much discussed and very beautiful work, the -Subiaco Youth.<a id="FNanchor_74" href="#Footnote_74" class="fnanchor">74</a> This shows the same restraint in torso -modelling which distinguished the Praying Boy and the -Resting Hermes, but in the strain of its attitude it resembles -rather the Fighter of Agasias, especially in the twist of the -body above the waist, which Lysippos had originated and -which his pupils tend to exaggerate. One of the disquieting -features of the Borghese Fighter is that he implies the presence -of another figure which is not there. He is a fighter without -an opponent. The Subiaco Boy is in the same plight. His -attitude can hardly be other than that of a suppliant touching -chin and knee of his enemy in Greek fashion. His artistic -defect is that he again is a suppliant without an enemy, part -of a group without his counterpart. In their anxiety to study -the human figure in all positions the Rhodian artists were -apt to overlook the question of artistic unity.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_29" class="figleft" style="max-width: 56em;"> - <img src="images/i_042.jpg" width="881" height="2462" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">29</div></div> - -<div id="ip_30" class="figright" style="max-width: 77em;"> - <img src="images/i_042b.jpg" width="1224" height="2472" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">30</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>Two fine bronzes in the Terme Museum may be attributed -with some certainty to Rhodian artists, in view of -the Rhodian monopoly of Hellenistic bronze casting. Both -are Greek originals—the seated boxer<a id="FNanchor_75" href="#Footnote_75" class="fnanchor">75</a> and the hero resting -on a lance (<a href="#ip_29">Fig. 29</a>). The latter is commonly called a portrait -of some Hellenistic prince, but the absence of the royal -tiara or any personal indications is significant rather of a -heroic type. The face is strongly individual, but so is that -of the Boxer, the Fighter of Agasias, and even the Jason. -We have no reason to see a portrait in any of them, but -personality is beginning to affect even ideal statues in the -Hellenistic age. The hero with the lance is a fine, if rather -histrionic, figure more or less following the Lysippic type of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">43</span> -Alexander with the lance<a id="FNanchor_76" href="#Footnote_76" class="fnanchor">76</a> and showing a somewhat massive -and emphatic rendering of a Lysippic type. He belongs to -the later Rhodian school, into which exaggeration has crept, -rather than to the more restrained art of the third century. -The Boxer, on the other hand, brutal and coarse as his -expression is, has no trace of muscular exaggeration, and is -an earlier work. His broken nose, swollen ears, scarred face, -and blood-bespattered hair show the unsparing realism of -the artist. He is another instance of the all-round statue -of the late Lysippic school, a masterpiece of technique, if -a somewhat disagreeable work of art.</p> - -<p>We can connect the names and the works of few of the -earlier Rhodian artists, but Boethos of Chalcedon is now -established as a worker in Rhodes,<a id="FNanchor_77" href="#Footnote_77" class="fnanchor">77</a> where he received the -honour of προξενία. Pliny mentions his Boy Strangling -a Goose,<a id="FNanchor_78" href="#Footnote_78" class="fnanchor">78</a> and the many copies of this statue in existence -give us a good idea of its popularity. Boethos was apparently -a silversmith and also a sculptor of boys. He was famous as -a maker of elaborate couches, and we are possibly the -possessors of such a couch in the fine bronze litter of the -Conservatori Museum,<a id="FNanchor_79" href="#Footnote_79" class="fnanchor">79</a> on which are little boys’ heads -strikingly similar to the Boy with the Goose. This group -is often quoted as an example of the new feeling for <i>genre</i> -or homely domestic detail in sculpture. It is, in fact, of great -importance for its new recognition of the comic in art, and -for the appearance of the fat chubby boy like the Erotes of -Ephesos or the little statuettes of Alexandria. The small -boy or girl now becomes a favourite subject of the sculptor,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">44</span> -and we may compare closely with the Boy of Boethos the -Eros and Psyche of the Capitol (<a href="#ip_32">Fig. 32</a>), who are really -a little boy and girl engaged in a children’s game.</p> - -<p>We must now turn to another very important side of -Rhodian art—the delineation of female drapery. The -followers of Lysippos favoured an austere style, and the -nude female figure has no place in Rhodian art. But while -the other sculptors of the Hellenistic world were modifying -and to some extent vulgarizing the beautiful conceptions -of Scopas and Praxiteles, the Rhodians were attacking the -draped female figure as they inherited it from Praxiteles -and Lysippos, and producing modifications just as interesting -and important as those connected with the athletic statue.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_31" class="figleft" style="max-width: 51em;"> - <img src="images/i_044.jpg" width="814" height="2077" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">31</div></div> - -<div id="ip_32" class="figcenter noclear" style="max-width: 49em;"> - <img src="images/i_044b.jpg" width="771" height="2070" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">32</div></div> - -<div id="ip_33" class="figright" style="max-width: 56em;"> - <img src="images/i_044c.jpg" width="884" height="2073" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">33</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>We know that Philiskos of Rhodes was the author of -a group of Muses which was much admired in Rome. It -has been suggested that the new type of female drapery -which appears on an altar from Halicarnassos and on the -relief of the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaos of Priene, -certainly a member of the Rhodian school, was his work.<a id="FNanchor_80" href="#Footnote_80" class="fnanchor">80</a> -This new type of drapery is to be seen also in a number of -statues of Muses, of which we have a collection from Miletos -in the museum of Constantinople.<a id="FNanchor_81" href="#Footnote_81" class="fnanchor">81</a> It may be described -most simply as an aggravation and exaggeration of the style -of drapery introduced by the school of Praxiteles. The -desire to get a series of folds at sharply contrasting angles -leads to a very artificial arrangement of the dress, which -produces an inharmonious effect. But there is a new development -which deserves our attention. Transparent drapery -had been elaborated by Alkamenes and the pupils of Pheidias,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">45</span> -but always with the intention of displaying the body beneath -it. The new drapery of the Muses is transparent with the -desire to display other drapery beneath it. The earlier -Greeks had used a thick mantle over a transparent chiton, -but the Rhodian author of the new drapery used a transparent -mantle over a clinging chiton. He thus doubles the subtlety -of his technique, and provides himself with a series of new -and intricate problems, just as the athletic sculptor does with -his anatomical discoveries.</p> - -<p>This transparent mantle immediately obtained an immense -vogue, and it comes down into Roman art as a strong rival -of the late Praxitelean drapery, which, however, still prevails -by the side of the other. The greater number of Roman -female draped statues use one or the other type of garments. -The Milesian Muses are not in themselves great works of -art. The real technical possibilities of the new drapery are -better displayed by a wonderful figure from Magnesia in -Constantinople (<a href="#ip_31">Fig. 31</a>), in which the new fashion is rendered -with consummate skill. It is of considerable importance -that we should date this change in drapery as accurately as -possible. The date hitherto proposed for its supposed -author Philiskos has been put about 220 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> The Apotheosis -of Homer is taken to be about 210 judging from a portrait -of Ptolemy IV appearing in it, and the Halicarnassos base is -put about the same time. But the portrait is by no means -certainly that of Ptolemy IV. It is more like Ptolemy II, -and might belong to any period. Philiskos himself has -nothing to do with it. A female figure by him with a signed -base has been discovered in Thasos (<a href="#ip_33">Fig. 33</a>). The drapery -of this female figure follows the type of the Mantinean basis,<a id="FNanchor_82" href="#Footnote_82" class="fnanchor">82</a><span class="pagenum" id="Page_46">46</span> -and the earlier Muses group of the Vatican. The inscription -is not earlier than the first century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> Philiskos, then, was -a late artist who used the Praxitelean drapery. As for the -transparent drapery, it is highly improbable that it was -invented before the frieze of the great altar at Pergamon. We -know that Rhodian artists worked on this altar, and Rhodian -style is visible in some of the figures, but transparent drapery -of the Rhodian type appears nowhere on the frieze. There -seems to be no reason to date any figure wearing this drapery -earlier than 190 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and we should therefore attribute it -to the second century. We have seen in the Antioch of -Eutychides the Praxitelean type taken over by the earlier -Rhodian artists in the third century. Have we any link -by which we can connect the transparent mantle with the -earlier form?</p> - -<div id="ip_34" class="figcenter" style="max-width: 136em;"> - <img src="images/i_046.jpg" width="2164" height="2756" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">34</div></div> - -<p>The answer to this question is provided by one of the -greatest statues of antiquity, the Victory of Samothrace -(<a href="#ip_34">Fig. 34</a>). The date and school of this masterpiece are still -warmly disputed, and the current view tends to connect -it with the victory of Demetrios Poliorcetes in 306, by which -he won the command of the sea. Coins of Demetrios show -a trumpet-blowing Victory on the prow of a ship in an -attitude closely resembling the Louvre statue. But the -statue has no connexion with the coin, for a detailed study -of the neck and fragments of the right shoulder reveals the -impossibility of the trumpet-blowing attitude. The right -hand and arm are raised high and backwards probably with -a victor’s wreath. Moreover, the coin has a low girdle and -no cloak, the statue the high third-century girdle and a -great flapping mantle. The type is not so rare as might be -expected. We have it in small bronzes, and we have it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">47</span> -also <i>in situ</i> on a votive statue in Rhodes. The Victory of -Samothrace is a later version of the statue possibly erected -by Demetrios. Its Rhodian origin depends partly on the -extraordinary <i>finesse</i> and delicate naturalism of its drapery, -a study never popular in Pergamon, and partly on the strong -probability, not yet decisively proved, that the marble of -its base is Rhodian. The latter point may provide definite -proof, but the former is the one on which we must at present -rely. The Rhodian origin or at least the Lysippic connexions -of the statue are further supported by the twist above the -waist so universal among the followers of that artist and the -strong vital momentary pose, which is wrongly rendered in -the present attitude of the statue. It is not a standing figure, -but a Victory who is just alighting after flight, and it should -therefore be tilted farther forward. The only statue now -existing which presents a real parallel to the intricate folds -of the Victory’s drapery is the Magnesian statue already -mentioned,<a id="FNanchor_83" href="#Footnote_83" class="fnanchor">83</a> which belongs to the new Rhodian drapery -school. But the mantle of the Victory is older in type. -Thus the Victory’s drapery stands midway between the -Antioch figure and the new Rhodian fashion. It shows just -that scientific naturalism which we have noticed in the -anatomy of the athletic figures, and just that tendency to -miss the perfect whole by an over-anxious care for detail. -The date for such work is 250 and not 300 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> The Chiaramonti -Niobid<a id="FNanchor_84" href="#Footnote_84" class="fnanchor">84</a> is a work of similar tendency though of -a different school, and must fall about the same date.</p> - -<p>We now possess some evidence for the continuous study -and development of female drapery at Rhodes parallel to -the study and development of the male form. The Rhodian<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">48</span> -school is in fact the most industrious and the most scientific -of all the Hellenistic art centres. In mastery of detail they -are unapproachable, but they have ceased to care much for -motive or idealism in their subjects. To such art both -impressionism and romantic feeling are foreign. Rhodian -art is very versatile and very straightforward, but its constant -aspiration after the unusual renders it in the end monotonous.</p> - -<p>The earlier and later periods of Rhodian art are separated -by the quarrel with Rome and consequent loss of the land-empire -in 167 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> This ended the real independence of -Rhodes, and with it disappeared the inventive genius of her -artists. She continued for another century to be the great -and almost the sole centre of art production, for both Pergamon -and Alexandria now lost all artistic importance, but -she ceased to develop and originate. The works of her -second period are brilliant in the extreme, but they are no -longer vital and progressive.</p> - -<p>It is significant that the best-known works of this period -are great groups rather than single statues. We may notice -the Laocoon group, the Farnese Bull, the ‘Pasquino’ of -Ajax and Patroclos, the Scylla group, and the group of -Odysseus with the Cyclops. Of these the earliest is perhaps -the Farnese Bull,<a id="FNanchor_85" href="#Footnote_85" class="fnanchor">85</a> which we possess in an Antonine copy -at Naples from the Baths of Caracalla. It represents the -punishment of Dirce by Zethos and Amphion for her cruelty -to their mother Antiope. The two heroes hold the bull, to -whose horns they are about to tie the unfortunate Dirce. -It was made by Apollonios and Tauriskos of Tralles, and -brought from Rhodes to Rome by Asinius Pollio. The date -can be fixed by a comparison of inscriptions to about the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">49</span> -year 130 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> Tauriskos’ son has signed a base at Magnesia -about 100 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> Both Tauriskos and Apollonios were adopted -by Menecrates, son of Menecrates, one of the artists of the -Pergamon frieze. But in examining the group we must -beware of the Roman additions and restorations, which -include nearly all the landscape details together with the -figure of Antiope and the mountain god. The head of -Zethos is a portrait of Caracalla. The group has been -adapted to act as a centre-piece for the great hall of the Baths -of Caracalla, and consequently has been made square. Even -in its original form, however, it must have been a good example -of all-round sculpture. The figures are Lysippic, and the -lower part of Dirce, which is the only antique part of her, -shows more archaic drapery than usual. This is only what -we might expect from an art which has passed its prime. -Novelty of treatment is no longer a first essential. Tauriskos -also made figures called Hermerotes. These must have -been herm figures with an Eros head similar to a statue in -the courtyard of the Conservatori Museum, and comparable -with the Hermathena, which belonged to Cicero. Herms -of all kinds became very popular in Greco-Roman art, and -we see here in Rhodes perhaps the first development of the -old archaistic Dionysos herms into more modern studies.</p> - -<p>Another dramatic group similar to that of the Farnese -Bull and the Laocoon was the lost group by Aristonides of -Rhodes, showing Athamas in remorse for the murder of -his son, Learchos. Pliny tells a foolish tale that the sculptor -mixed iron with the copper in order to portray the blush of -shame, a story told also about the Jocasta of Silanion.</p> - -<p>A little figure of Odysseus (<a href="#ip_35">Fig. 35</a>) in the Chiaramonti -gallery of the Vatican holding out a bowl of wine to the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">50</span> -Cyclops must be part of another mythological group of this -period. The movement and action of the hero are typically -Rhodian, and his face corresponds to the Rhodian type. The -rest of the group is lost. The group of Scylla and the sailors -of Odysseus is represented only by a much mutilated and -fragmentary copy in Oxford, which gives us little information.</p> - -<p>We have more copies of the well-known Pasquino group -of Menelaos or Ajax and Patroclos. There are fragments -in the Vatican, and a well-preserved replica in the Loggia dei -Lanzi in Florence (<a href="#ip_36">Fig. 36</a>). Here again the extraordinary -interest in anatomical forms is shown not only in the strain -and twist of the living hero—the invariable twist of all these -Rhodian figures—but in the admirable contrast between -the vivid living body and the relaxed corpse. This contrasting -of physical and mental conditions is a part of the dramatic -feeling in later Rhodian art, which has quite abandoned its -earlier simplicity and has followed on the lines of <i>baroque</i> -extravagance laid down by the second Pergamene school.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_35" class="figleft" style="max-width: 73em;"> - <img src="images/i_050.jpg" width="1157" height="2372" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">35</div></div> - -<div id="ip_36" class="figright" style="max-width: 87em;"> - <img src="images/i_050b.jpg" width="1388" height="2368" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">36</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>Of all the groups the best known and the most instructive -is the latest of all, the Laocoon.<a id="FNanchor_86" href="#Footnote_86" class="fnanchor">86</a> In this marvellous group -we see the full development of the effect of strained agony -on the human form, and we see the mature form contrasted -both with an active youth’s body and with the semi-inanimate -body of the younger boy. When we have removed the -restorations and lowered the right arm of Laocoon nearer -to his head, we get a perfect group-design unified by the -terrible serpent-coils and by the central theme of agony. -The torso muscles of Laocoon are fully developed and even -exaggerated, though not to the same extent as those of the -Pergamene frieze, but the boys’ forms are simpler, and all<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">51</span> -reflect the basic principles of Rhodian art already enumerated. -Pain is shown by the downward sloping eyebrows with -sharp interior angles, by the half-closed eyes, wrinkled forehead, -and parted lips. The hair is wild, and all the veins -of the body stand out sharply. The twist above the waist -occurs in all three bodies. It is interesting to notice that even -in the Laocoon, the latest work of the most scientific school -of Greek sculpture, anatomical accuracy is still lacking. The -lower curve of the ribs above the abdomen follows a line -impossible in nature, and the left thumb of the elder son is -provided with three joints instead of the normal two. Neither -the Laocoon nor any one of the other Rhodian groups is -perfectly satisfactory to modern taste. There is too much -strain, too much agony, too little relief or repose. Every -inch of the group is illustrative of pain and passion. Our -sense of sympathy is deadened by excessive emphasis and -repetition. But in technical skill the group has never been -surpassed.</p> - -<p>A close parallel to the head of the Laocoon is found in -the bearded centaur of the pair made by Aristeas and Papias -of Aphrodisias (<a href="#ip_38">Fig. 38</a>). Copies of this statue existing in -the Capitol and in the Louvre show the despair of the elderly -victim of love in the guise of a centaur tormented by a little -Eros on his back. The companion figure (<a href="#ip_37">Fig. 37</a>) is young -and delights in the persuasions of his rider. This group -of rather obvious allegory belongs to the Antonine age, but -the resemblance to the Laocoon proves a first-century -original, which is interesting because it is one of the earliest -examples of a corresponding pair of statues clearly designed -for house decoration. The growth of ‘cabinet pieces’, as -opposed to temple or national dedications, now develops<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">52</span> -into the whole mass of furniture sculpture in the shape of -candelabra, table-legs, consoles, decorative herms, &c., -which mark the imperial age.</p> - -<p>The school of Rhodes ends in extraordinary brilliance. -There is nothing decadent in its technique, nothing paltry -in its conceptions. We have seen the very pure and slightly -finicky naturalism of the early third century give way to -a rather more <i>baroque</i> extravagance in detail, but in neither -its earlier nor its later stage did the purest of the Hellenistic -schools affect the exaggerations of Alexandria or Pergamon. -In Rhodes, at any rate, the steady development of Greek -sculpture reached its perfect and logical conclusion. We -have seen it start with a great idealism and no technique at -all. In the fifth century technique and idealism are almost -equally balanced. In the Laocoon the last word of technical -perfection is spoken, but there is no idealism at all, only -a man and two boys writhing in the grasp of serpents. It is -not photographic naturalism, but it is histrionic, artificial, -and dead.

The inevitable result was a great -decline in artistic output as well as in artistic skill.

The Demosthenes of Polyeuctes is dated about -280 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and the statues of Aeschines, Aristotle, and others -show the existence of an admirable school of portrait sculptors -at this time in Athens. But ideal sculpture shows a sad falling-off. -The Themis of Chairestratos (<a href="#ip_40">Fig. 40</a>) belongs approximately -to this period, and it is marked by a great formality, -not only in pose but in the treatment of hair and drapery. -The classical period of sculpture in Athens was followed -by what we must call an academic period. The foreign -schools were developing on lines of naturalism, but at home -sculptors tended merely to formalize the work of the fourth-century -masters, and to produce statues of mechanical -correctness without any vitality at all. We have seen the -beginning of this tendency in the drapery system of the -followers of Praxiteles. It now affects the whole of Attic -sculpture. Old types are adopted again and again, until -they become purely mechanical. Drapery styles are similarly -used up, and the increasing formality of every department -stifles entirely the possibilities of originality. The Hermes -of Andros (<a href="#ip_39">Fig. 39</a>) is a good example of this kind of crystallization -of types. The statue was found in connexion with -a tomb, and it is clearly a memorial statue. Its companion -was a female figure reproducing exactly the pose and drapery<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">55</span> -of the draped female figure from Herculaneum at Dresden. -The date would seem to be late third century. The Hermes -itself is a replica of a type known in the Antinous of the -Belvedere and other statues, and is a product of the Praxitelean -school, like the Dresden figure. But the influence of -Praxiteles is not alone in it. We have a clear use of Lysippic -proportions and some Lysippic influence in the head. This -eclecticism is an invariable mark of archaistic art. The -sculptor, who has no new message of his own to deliver, -looks back to antiquity for his types, but does not imitate -one statue directly. The only form of originality which he -is able to use is originality of combination and selection. -Consequently he absorbs details from several artists and -produces work which we label Lysippo-Scopaic, or Lysippo-Praxitelean, -&c. We have seen how the late fourth-century -artists in Asia Minor combined characteristics of Scopas -and Praxiteles. The late fourth-century and third-century -Attic artists made use of all their predecessors, and produced -statues in which we can detect the <i>disiecta membra</i> of half a -dozen styles. At the same time we may recognize the general -predominance of Praxitelean tradition over that of the other -artists and a universal predilection for marble instead of bronze.</p> - -<p>One of the most interesting Hellenistic works of the Attic -school is the bronze figure from Anticythera,<a id="FNanchor_87" href="#Footnote_87" class="fnanchor">87</a> which is still -the subject of much dispute. It is a typical piece of eclecticism. -The pose and twist of the shoulder and upper part of the -torso are Lysippic, while the head is a mixture of Praxiteles -and Scopas. The result, as might be expected, is somewhat -inharmonious. In shape and profile the head is mainly -Praxitelean, and therefore on its discovery it was acclaimed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">56</span> -as a Praxitelean original. But looking from the front we at -once see the resemblance to the Scopaic Meleager type,<a id="FNanchor_88" href="#Footnote_88" class="fnanchor">88</a> -with its broad head, slight chin, and fringe of short upright -locks like little flames. The head, and indeed the whole -statue, is not unlike the bronze athlete of Ephesos,<a id="FNanchor_89" href="#Footnote_89" class="fnanchor">89</a> which -has the same hair and facial type, together with a similar -rather heavy Lysippic body. This heaviness of the torso -in both statues shows that the Lysippic ideal is not followed -directly, but rather the Attic version of it as used in the Agias -of Delphi.<a id="FNanchor_90" href="#Footnote_90" class="fnanchor">90</a></p> - -<p>Another Attico-Lysippic figure is preserved for us in -a number of replicas, of which the two best known are the -Hermes from Atalanta in Athens (<a href="#ip_41">Fig. 41</a>) and the Hermes -Richelieu in the Louvre. Here again Lysippic proportions -are combined with a rather heavier Attic torso in a whole -which lacks something of harmony and repose. The work -has been referred back to a Lysippic original, but it seems -more likely that it is an Attic adaptation of the eclectic -school now springing into existence. The Attic grave reliefs -give us good information about Attic art down to the end of -the fourth century, but Demetrios of Phaleron prohibited -them for sumptuary reasons in 309 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and in future we -have no such good guide to Attic art. Eclecticism is, however, -pretty clear in the later examples which we do possess. -The votive reliefs from the Asklepieion throw some light -on the third century, but they are not on a sufficiently large -scale to be very instructive.</p> - -<div id="ip_42" class="figcenter land" style="max-width: 173em;"> - <img src="images/i_056.jpg" width="2759" height="1591" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">42</div></div> - -<p>In Greece at all times professions tended to run in one -family, and we have already seen examples of families of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">57</span> -sculptors, such as that of Praxiteles, in which the craft was -handed down from father to son for generations. The -Hellenistic age is full of evidence for this phenomenon in -Athens and elsewhere. Rhodes in particular gives us detailed -families of sculptors, since we are better provided with -inscriptions in Rhodes than in other centres. In Hellenistic -Athens two such families are worthy of notice. Polykles, -whom we may call Polykles I, had two sons, Timokles and -Timarchides I; the latter had two sons, Polykles II and -Dionysios; and Polykles II had a son, Timarchides II. -These are known to us from literature or from inscriptions, -and they cover more or less the second century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> It is -a question to which member of the house we are to ascribe -the very famous bronze Hermaphrodite mentioned by -Pliny,<a id="FNanchor_91" href="#Footnote_91" class="fnanchor">91</a> or whether it should be referred to an earlier artist -of the same name in the fourth century.<a id="FNanchor_92" href="#Footnote_92" class="fnanchor">92</a> A further question -is involved in the identification of the Hermaphrodite, since -it is commonly assumed that the Sleeping Hermaphrodite -(<a href="#ip_42">Fig. 42</a>), far the most famous type now extant in numerous -copies, must have had a marble and not a bronze original. -The statue of Polykles is identified with the Berlin Hermaphrodite<a id="FNanchor_93" href="#Footnote_93" class="fnanchor">93</a> -by those who would give him a fourth-century -date; with a bronze in Epinal<a id="FNanchor_94" href="#Footnote_94" class="fnanchor">94</a> by those who associate him -with Hellenistic art. The Berlin Hermaphrodite is of -Praxitelean type; the Epinal bronze resembles rather what -we have called the Pergamene type of the Turning Satyr -and the Aphrodite Kallipygos. The question is a difficult -one, but we may safely exclude Polykles II. Timarchides I,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">58</span> -his father, and Dionysios, his brother, worked on statues -of a marked academic tendency. The C. Ofellius of Delos -was the work of his brother, a statue of purely mechanical -taste. This Polykles is not likely to have originated a great -and famous statue. Polykles I worked as early as 200, -a much better period for original work. He is a more likely -candidate for the authorship of the type, if we suppose it -to have resembled either the Epinal bronze or the Sleeping -Hermaphrodite. On <i>a priori</i> grounds of its great popularity -one would distinctly prefer to connect the latter with the -statue mentioned by Pliny. It is true that it looks like a -marble statue and not a bronze one, but a marble replica -which served as the prototype for marble copies is by no means -an impossible suggestion. But this Sleeping Hermaphrodite -is a work of distinctly Pergamene tendency, intended -to bring out the artist’s skill in the rendering of soft sensual -forms. It would seem to belong to an earlier date than -200 or even 250. The Epinal bronze implies a similar date, -and therefore we are left with a double difficulty. The -best Polykles for our purpose seems to be fifty years too -late for either of the types we require. We are, therefore, -driven to suppose an intermediate Polykles about 270 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> -In any case we must infer a reaction of Pergamene influence -on the academic art of third-century Athens, but it was -a solitary example which seems to have left no heritage to -later artists.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_43" class="figleft" style="max-width: 73em;"> - <img src="images/i_058.jpg" width="1155" height="2376" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">43</div></div> - -<div id="ip_44" class="figright" style="max-width: 75em;"> - <img src="images/i_058b.jpg" width="1192" height="2358" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">44</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>The sculptor family best known to us from inscriptions is -that of Eucheir and Euboulides. We know of at least two -representatives of each name, Eucheir I about 220, Euboulides I -about 190, Eucheir II about 160, and Euboulides II -thirty years later. The first Euboulides made a statue of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">59</span> -Chrysophis, the second Eucheir athletes and warriors, and -a marble Hermes at Pheneos. The second Euboulides is -more important, for he was the author of a great monument -outside the Dipylon Gate, considerable fragments of which -have been recovered.</p> - -<p>These fragments are our main evidence for the art of -Athens in the second half of the second century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and -they show us that the academic art of the second half of the -third century has followed out its natural development. -The figures of Victory (<a href="#ip_43">Fig. 43</a>) and Athena (<a href="#ip_44">Fig. 44</a>), which -have partially survived, are grandiose without being noble -or effective. There is a distinct attempt to absorb some of -the exaggerated idealism of the second Pergamene school; -there is also an effort to recover some of the simplicity and -grandeur of Pheidias; but the result is a staid and rather -mechanical classicism, which is made only a little more -obvious by the larger size of the figures. The Athena head, -with its straightforward gaze, archaistic hair, large, wide-open -eyes, and round, heavy chin is distinctly Pheidian; the -Victory in rapid movement with head turned to the side is -more affected by Pergamene art. Her drapery shows a curious -combination of naturalism and formalism in the folds at -the girdle; each individual set of folds is well studied from -nature; but the repetition of a similar set right round the -body is purely mechanical. The group is a good example of -the limitations of the Attic artist at the end of his development. -The next century sees a totally different activity.</p> - -<p>In the Peloponnese we have a great gap after the pupils -of Lysippos, a gap devoid of any evidence either literary -or monumental. During the whole of the third century it -would be difficult to point to any Peloponnesian art on a scale<span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">60</span> -deserving of attention. But the second century opens with -a name of some importance, Damophon of Messene. We -are in the rare and fortunate position of possessing undoubted -originals from his hand in the great group of Lycosura. These -are practically our sole monumental evidence for the Hellenistic -art of the Peloponnese.<a id="FNanchor_95" href="#Footnote_95" class="fnanchor">95</a> The date of Damophon is -now established by inscriptions for the first half of the second -century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and a number of his works are more or less -attested by coin-types. He had a considerable vogue in the -last generation before the Roman conquest, and his leading -position is evidenced by the commission he received to -restore the Olympian Zeus. It may have been his hand which -touched up and restored the corner figures of the west -pediment of the temple.</p> - -<p>The great group of Lycosura represented Demeter and -Kore enthroned between standing figures of Artemis and -a Titan Anytos. It survives in three heads and numerous -fragments of limbs and drapery, and its conjectural restoration -has been recently undertaken (<a href="#ip_45">Fig. 45</a>). The discovery -of a coin representing the group on its reverse goes far to -justify the proposed design.<a id="FNanchor_96" href="#Footnote_96" class="fnanchor">96</a></p> - -<div id="ip_45" class="figcenter land" style="max-width: 167em;"> - <img src="images/i_060.jpg" width="2659" height="1920" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">45</div></div> - -<p>The group is interesting from many points of view, but -mainly from the flood of light which it throws on the methods -of Peloponnesian sculpture at the very close of its development. -It thus forms a complementary picture to the remains -of the monument of Euboulides in Athens. Damophon, -like Euboulides, underwent the influence of Pergamon. The -colossal scale of his group and the wild hair of his giant<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">61</span> -Anytos (<a href="#ip_46">Fig. 46</a>) demonstrate the influence of the altar -frieze. Damophon also went back to Pheidias for inspiration. -He must have absorbed many lessons from his work at -Olympia. The seated group of his goddesses is reminiscent -of the two figures next to ‘Theseus’ in the west pediment of -the Parthenon. The simple wide-eyed grave expression of his -Demeter head goes back to the fifth-century ideal, while -his Artemis (<a href="#ip_47">Fig. 47</a>) wears the melon-coiffure associated -with the school of Praxiteles. The attitudes of Artemis -and Anytos are Lysippic. Here we have every evidence -of academic eclecticism. The same feature is borne out by -three coins which reproduce the statues of Damophon. His -Asklepios at Aigion gives us a fourth-century type. He -copied the Laphria of Patras for Messene. His Herakles -in the guise of an Idaean Dactyl at Megalopolis seems to -have been a variant of the now fashionable herm figures -and to copy a Hermerakles type known by numerous extant -examples.</p> - -<p>Damophon’s style then was academic and eclectic, -borrowing from all sources of inspiration and in general -using up over again well-known groups and poses. His -execution is even more interesting for its extraordinary -inequality. His heads are on the whole very good. The -Demeter is a dull piece of work, but both the Anytos and the -Artemis show some fancy and some power of original -expression. The girl is demure and cheerful, the giant -benevolent and rather sly. But when we come to examine -the execution of the fragments of the bodies and limbs -which survive at Lycosura, we find a very hasty and poor -technical ability. The arms and legs are nearly shapeless. -They are colossal, but practically formal in design, and details<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">62</span> -of muscles and sinews are almost entirely omitted. The -drapery makes some effort to follow Pheidian designs, but -it is poorly carved and without effect. Only in one direction -does the artist show any skill, and that is in the great -embroidered veil (<a href="#ip_48">Fig. 48</a>) worn by Despoina. This is an -extraordinary <i>tour de force</i>, not for its sculptural effect, -which is purely formal, but for the reproduction of a complicated -embroidered design in very low relief. A border of -tassels with bands of design about it and large embroidered -figures of Victory above the bands is rendered with consummate -art. We have a frieze of sea-monsters, nymphs, and -Erotes according to a common Hellenistic design, a curious -local dance of beast figures in human dress, a dance paralleled -by some small terra-cotta figures found in the same shrine, -and the larger figures of Victory above carrying candelabra.</p> - -<p>It is interesting to see the total want of proportion in -the artist’s mind, who could devote so much time and -originality to a comparatively unimportant piece of decoration, -while treating the main lines of his drapery with carelessness -and monotony. It is probable that we have here -a procedure to be noticed in the Demeter of Cnidos—a head -done with great care and placed on a torso of inferior execution. -While Damophon worked the heads of all the figures -and the drapery of Despoina, he must have left the rest of -his group to a band of journeymen assistants. We know -from inscriptions that Damophon had two sons, Xenophilos -and another whose name is lost. It is, therefore, possible -that Xenophilos and Straton, the Argive sculptors, were -his sons. Their subjects were similar, and their Asklepios, -as shown on a coin, is identical with Damophon’s.</p> - -<div class="center narrow"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_46" class="figleft" style="max-width: 62em;"> - <img src="images/i_062.jpg" width="987" height="1545" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">46</div></div> - -<div id="ip_47" class="figcenter noclear" style="max-width: 61em;"> - <img src="images/i_062b.jpg" width="975" height="912" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">47</div></div> - -<div id="ip_48" class="figright" style="max-width: 84em;"> - <img src="images/i_062c.jpg" width="1335" height="2641" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">48</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>Thus Greek sculpture on the mainland came to a somewhat<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">63</span> -inglorious and academic conclusion with the Roman -conquest in 146 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> We may examine one more centre of -artistic work before leaving it, since it forms a link between -Greece and Ionia, between the declining schools of the -mainland and the vigorous art of Pergamon and Rhodes.</p> - -<p>Melos has left us several Hellenistic statues of interest. -The Aphrodite of the Louvre and the Poseidon in Athens -are their most important representatives. The Poseidon -(<a href="#ip_49">Fig. 49</a>) is a typical work of histrionic <i>bravura</i> under the -influence of the second Pergamene school. He stands in -a defiant and dramatic attitude as if summoning his adversaries -to combat, and his burly hair and beard recall the giants -of the altar. But an eclectic taste is visible here also. His -pose is Lysippic, and his restrained torso owes more to -Rhodes than Pergamon. Melos is a meeting-point of trade-routes, -in which many artistic currents must have come -together.</p> - -<p>The Aphrodite of Melos<a id="FNanchor_97" href="#Footnote_97" class="fnanchor">97</a> has attained a somewhat -undeserved position as one of the world’s masterpieces of -sculpture. Splendid piece of work as it is, it has most of the -faults of its period. Much controversy has raged even over -the actual facts of the discovery of this statue, but there -appears to be no reason to doubt that the inscribed base, -which was found with it and brought perhaps later to Paris, -is part of it, and contains the true record of its author -...sandros from Antioch on the Maeander.<a id="FNanchor_98" href="#Footnote_98" class="fnanchor">98</a> This base has -been lost, but drawings and statements exist to show that -it fitted the actual base. The missing fragment had a rectangular -hole on the upper surface, in which some additional<span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">64</span> -attribute was fitted. The restoration of this missing piece -of the base with its hole disposes of the theories occasionally -ventilated that the statue was one of a pair. The hole is -not the socket for fastening a statue, nor will it hold one of -the small herms which were found with the Aphrodite. Its -true significance has been pointed out by Furtwängler by -analogy with several other statues and designs, including -one from Melos and one actual copy of the Aphrodite herself. -It served for the fastening of a slender column or stele on -which the goddess rested her left elbow. A beautiful little -fourth-century bronze in Dresden shows a similar motive. -The restoration of the figure is now easy. With her right -hand the goddess held or was about to hold her drapery -to prevent it from slipping; her left elbow rested on the -pillar, and her left hand, palm upwards, held an apple. This -hand holding the apple was actually found with the statue, -and undoubtedly belongs to it, as well as a piece of the upper -left arm. The other hand found at the same time is alien -and on a larger scale. The position of the hand, palm -upwards, is certified by the unworked back, which would -be invisible. The apple of course is a frequent symbol of -Aphrodite, and particularly appropriate in the island to which -it gave its name.</p> - -<div class="center"><div class="ilb"> -<div id="ip_49" class="figleft" style="max-width: 71em;"> - <img src="images/i_064.jpg" width="1121" height="2367" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">49</div></div> - -<div id="ip_50" class="figright" style="max-width: 70em;"> - <img src="images/i_064b.jpg" width="1113" height="2352" alt="" /> - <div class="caption">50</div></div> -</div></div> - -<p>The Aphrodite was found in a niche or exedra, which -was dedicated by one Bacchios with a second-century -inscription. The base inscription of ...sandros, whose -name we may guess to have been Agesandros, is also second -century, and therefore we cannot hesitate to accept a date -about 180–160 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> for the Aphrodite, especially as its style -and technique are indubitably of that period. The pose may -be described as reminiscent of Lysippos with its opposing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">65</span> -lines of shoulders and hips and twist of the body above the -waist. The head-type is Scopaic, but only Scopaic at -second-hand, since the influence of Pergamon is much -clearer. If we compare the head with the head of the girl -in Berlin from Pergamon,<a id="FNanchor_99" href="#Footnote_99" class="fnanchor">99</a> or with the Pergamon Hermaphrodite -in Constantinople,<a id="FNanchor_100" href="#Footnote_100" class="fnanchor">100</a> we see an identical treatment of -hair, identical head-shape, and the same type of features in -almost every detail. The drapery is interesting for yet -another source of inspiration. Its division into flattish panels -separated by groups of deeply-cut waving folds is in the -manner of Pheidias and the late fifth century, while the -naturalistic little detail on the right hip, where the lower -folds are caught up and radiate from a single point, is -thoroughly Hellenistic.</p> - -<p>The style of the statue as well as its technique is clear -proof of its date. The attitude of the goddess has no discernible -motive. There is no reason why she should be -half naked, or why she should twist her body round so -violently from the hips. There is no explanation why her -drapery should stay up at all in so insecure a position, or -why her left foot should be raised higher than her right. -But if we compare for a moment the Melian Aphrodite with -the Capuan Venus in Naples (<a href="#ip_50">Fig. 50</a>), a statue in a nearly -identical position, all these points are explained. The -Capuan Venus is half naked, because she is admiring her -beauty in the mirror of the shield of Ares. She is twisted -so as to look at herself in the shield and yet display her body -to the spectator—in itself a Hellenistic device. Her drapery -is held up, because the shield-edge holds it against her left -hip; her foot is raised, because it rests on Ares’ helmet and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">66</span> -thereby gives better support to the shield. The attitude of -the Melian goddess is clumsy and stiff, because it has no -motive; that of the Capuan is graceful and effective, because -its motive is clear.</p> - -<p>Now it is noteworthy that the many examples of this -type in our possession are all copies of the Capuan and not -of the Melian figure. This is clear from the direction of -the drapery folds, which differs in the Melian from all the -other figures. The history of the type is thereby made clear. -It was an early Hellenistic or late fourth-century statue of -the Armed Aphrodite, possibly the cult statue, which appears -in identical pose on coins of Corinth. Itself a typical <i>genre</i> -adaptation of a very early myth, it at once gained favour -and was much copied, especially in Roman times. The -Melian goddess was a second-century Hellenistic copy, but -not a mere copy, rather an adaptation of the earlier prototype -to a figure more suitable for Melos itself. Unfortunately -the artist was unable to make the pose suit his new scheme -properly. We get another adaptation in the Augustan age -in the shape of the Victory of Brescia inscribing a roll of the -dead on the shield,<a id="FNanchor_101" href="#Footnote_101" class="fnanchor">101</a> and finally, in the second century and later, -we get a crowd of copies much closer to the original, of which -the Capuan Venus is the best.</p> - -<p>The history of the Melian Aphrodite throws much light -on the Hellenistic art of the mainland and its neighbouring -islands. We see its artists bankrupt of new ideas, and able -only to adapt older conceptions to new requirements with -a series of eclectic modifications. The Aphrodite is a close -parallel to the monuments of Damophon and Euboulides, -although its artist is admittedly a better sculptor. All three<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">67</span> -show a poverty of new ideas, but a strong reaction against -the excesses of the later Pergamene school. They are, -therefore, forced to look backward and make up new conceptions -out of a medley of older details. It is of the utmost -importance that we should remember this state of mind -when we come to deal with Greco-Roman art.</p> - -<hr /> - -<div id="chap_68" class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">68</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="V">V<br /> -<span class="subhead">GRECO-ROMAN SCULPTURE</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">We</span> have now completed our survey of Greek sculpture -on the mainland, and in connexion with the -eastern kingdoms which Greece absorbed as conqueror. -We have yet one other aspect to consider: Greek -sculpture in connexion with the Roman world of the west, by -which Greece was conquered. ‘Conquered Greece led her -conqueror captive,’ and while Greek civilization as a whole -strongly modified the Italic civilization by which it was -overthrown, Greek art in particular established its mastery -over the inartistic nation which supplanted it. We have many -accounts of how Roman connoisseurs filled their galleries with -Greek statues. Mummius, Aemilius Paulus, Verres, Cicero, -Sulla, Asinius Pollio, were all robbers or purchasers of Greek -sculpture, and by the time of Pompey and Caesar the great -market for Greek sculpture was in Rome. The demand -exceeded the supply of antique marbles, enormous as the -supply must have been, for the systematic plundering of -the great shrines belongs to a later date. And as the Roman -noble could not be accommodated with originals, he had to -content himself with copies. Doubtless few of the collectors -could tell the difference. Rhodes continued to turn out -original sculpture until the time of Augustus, but Pergamon -and Alexandria had long sunk into decay. It was, therefore, -the opportunity for a new school of artists to arise in Athens, -an opportunity which was promptly taken. Athens and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">69</span> -Delos, Ephesos, and later Aphrodisias, became great centres -of the new industry, which was primarily commercial. There -was no longer any talk of idealism or of votive offerings to -deities. The necessity was to turn out quantities of work -suitable to the Roman taste.</p> - -<p>Greco-Roman sculpture falls into three clear divisions. -There are copies pure and simple like the Delian Diadumenos, -a straightforward replica of the masterpiece of -Polykleitos; there are adaptations of earlier work like those -turned out by the school of Pasiteles and Arcesilaos; and -there are, finally, new works, mostly in relief, which have -been termed Neo-Attic, and which represent a new artistic -development based on an elegant and artificial archaism. -Athens is the centre of all this art, and she thus recovers in -the first century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> the position which she had lost for -so long.</p> - -<p>The direct copies of this age need not be considered here. -Direct copying from the antique as distinguished from -adaptation is a new feature very eloquent of the poverty of -original ideas both in the buyer and seller of statues. But -it is important to realize that the Roman market made sculpture -for the first time a really paying business, and therefore -saved it from the possibility of extinction. Had it not been -for the new Attic school of sculptors, who sprang up in the -two preceding generations, it is hard to see how Augustus -could have secured the workmen for his great Roman -buildings, which formed the basis of a fresh artistic development -in Roman imperial sculpture. The copies of this -period are the best and most faithful which we possess. -They have still some vitality of their own, and are not the -dead and soulless caricatures produced by a later age.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">70</span></p> - -<p>But in addition to their copying work the latest generation -of Attic artists busied themselves with free adaptations from -the antique on lines laid down by contemporary art. These -productions are to be distinguished both from purely -archaistic works, which copy the style as well as the poses -of ancient sculpture, and from works like the Aphrodite of -Melos, which make a wide selection from ancient styles and -poses. Statues such as the Farnese Herakles of Glycon,<a id="FNanchor_102" href="#Footnote_102" class="fnanchor">102</a> -the Apollo Belvedere,<a id="FNanchor_103" href="#Footnote_103" class="fnanchor">103</a> or the Artemis of Versailles,<a id="FNanchor_104" href="#Footnote_104" class="fnanchor">104</a> are not -eclectic at all; they are older types taken over and translated -into modern style. They show less originality than the -Melian goddess, because there is no real change of pose or -of meaning. An old statue is simply worked out with a new -technique. Thus the Farnese Herakles gives a Hellenistic -rendering of a statue by Lysippos, while the Apollo Belvedere -is perhaps a new version of a work by Leochares. The -former attempts to render the massive strength of the hero -by immense exaggeration of muscular development in a style -worse than anything perpetrated at Pergamon. The latter -attempts to outdo the elegance of its original by an ultra-refinement -of surface in every direction, and by an affected -stage-pose and gesture. In both cases we see the effect of -commercialism on art, for the artist no longer works on his -own high standard of achievement. He is bound by the -tastes of the patrons for whom he caters, and the uneducated -Roman buyer liked to see strength shown by mighty muscles -and refinement by daintiness of gesture. Both the Herakles -of Glycon and the Apollo Belvedere are fine pieces of sculpture, -but as works of art they are little short of abominable. -We have no evidence about the original of the Artemis of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">71</span> -Versailles, a statue of somewhat similar type to the Apollo. -We may notice how the little fold of drapery above the left -knee is turned up without any justification simply for the -purpose of displaying the outline of the leg. The Medici -Venus in Florence<a id="FNanchor_105" href="#Footnote_105" class="fnanchor">105</a> is an adaptation of the later version of -the Praxitelean nude Aphrodite, the Capitoline rather than -the Cnidian type. It is also an Attic work of this period, -finely executed, but adding a yet further degradation to the -Capitoline version by the additional elegance of its gestures.</p> - -<p>The Torso Belvedere (<a href="#ip_52">Fig. 52</a>) is another Attic work of -great technical ability. Its prototype is unknown, and considerable -controversy exists about its meaning and correct -restoration. It is a seated figure with head and upper torso -turned sharply towards its left, a position which suggests -a Lysippic original. The massive musculature of the torso -recalls Glycon’s Herakles, but the influence here is more -Rhodian than Pergamene. One of the most popular suggestions<a id="FNanchor_106" href="#Footnote_106" class="fnanchor">106</a> -for its restoration makes it a Polyphemos shading his -eyes with one hand, as he looks out for Galatea, and holding -a club in the other. A similar type is known from wall -paintings. No agreement on this point has, however, been -reached.</p> - -<p>Works of this quality of technique, even if uninspired by -high artistic feeling, show how greatly the Attic school has -improved since the days of Euboulides. In sculpture the -skill of the workman depends largely on the popularity of, -and demand for, his work. The new vogue of sculpture -soon produced a high standard of technical efficiency. But -if Greco-Roman art remained wholly and unalterably Greek, -Greece itself was not allowed the monopoly of its production.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">72</span> -During the early years of the first century two Greek artists -transferred their business to Rome itself, and initiated thereby -a new school of Hellenistic sculpture.

He wrote a work on Greek art in five books, -which served as a primary authority for Pliny.<a id="FNanchor_107" href="#Footnote_107" class="fnanchor">107</a> He was -a goldsmith and a metal worker, and his range of sculptural -subjects was very wide. He is known to have paid special -attention to the sculpture of animals, and it is recorded that -he studied a lion from life at the Roman docks. He seems also -to have been the originator of a device, which did much to -injure the later development of marble sculpture.<a id="FNanchor_108" href="#Footnote_108" class="fnanchor">108</a> Bronze -workers had always had to prepare clay models usually -finished in wax after the invention of the <i>cire perdue</i> process; -metal workers of all kinds had need of the same preparation; -but in marble sculpture the use of models had hitherto been -confined to pedimental designs or similar productions prepared -by great artists and worked out by masons. The effect -on architectural sculpture had usually been unfortunate. -It is expressly told us of Pasiteles that he always made use -of clay models for all his work, that is, including his marble -sculpture. It was, no doubt, inevitable in a commercial -age, where copies were in great request, and where several -replicas were made of the one original, that the use of clay -models designed by the master and copied in marble by -pupils and workmen should become general. The ultimate -results of such a procedure were destructive to the whole<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">73</span> -art; for workshops came to possess a stock of models and -to turn out machine-made copies on demand. The finished -statue became merely the work of masons untouched by -the original master, who devoted himself entirely to the -preparation of models and designs. The sculptor’s workshop -instead of being a studio degenerated into a factory. No -doubt Pasiteles himself was an artist who did much original -work, but in the hands of his pupils and followers statue-making -was a mere trade. Unfortunately the works of his -school, which survive for us, are almost wholly these mechanical -and commercial by-products. The works of real fancy -and charm have almost wholly disappeared. Many of the -Hellenistic reliefs, especially those of the Palazzo Spada -type, are to be attributed to the Greek sculptors in Rome. -These show an elegance and a dainty affectation quite in -keeping with the spirit of the age. The group of Appiades -(<a href="#ip_51">Fig. 51</a>) by Stephanos,<a id="FNanchor_109" href="#Footnote_109" class="fnanchor">109</a> a pupil of Pasiteles, has been -recognized in the group of three nude girls holding up -a water-pot, now in the Louvre.<a id="FNanchor_110" href="#Footnote_110" class="fnanchor">110</a> The Three Graces are -also a conception of this age. Neat competent work of -a decorative type seems to sum up the original achievements -of this school, which fall more or less in line with the Neo-Attic -reliefs shortly to be considered.</p> - -<p>But most of our remains of the school of Pasiteles belong -to a different class of statue, best illustrated by the athlete -of Stephanos, Pasiteles’ pupil, in the Villa Albani (<a href="#ip_53">Fig. 53</a>). -All periods of art which are bankrupt in new ideas tend to -be archaistic; the Greco-Roman school looked backwards -for all its inspiration; but while Neo-Attics found their -models in Ionian art of the sixth century, the pupils of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">74</span> -Pasiteles studied their larger sculpture mainly in the light -of the early fifth-century Argive school. The athlete of -Stephanos shows the proportions, the stiff pose, and the -surface treatment of the pre-Polykleitan types of Ageladas. -He is comparable with the Ligourio bronze<a id="FNanchor_111" href="#Footnote_111" class="fnanchor">111</a> or the Acropolis -ephebe<a id="FNanchor_112" href="#Footnote_112" class="fnanchor">112</a> of Kritios for all his Lysippic slenderness and later -expression. The type was immensely popular and may have -originated with Pasiteles himself. We have it in single -examples and combined in groups, as in the Orestes and -Electra of Naples,<a id="FNanchor_113" href="#Footnote_113" class="fnanchor">113</a> where the companion figure is female, or -in the Ildefonso group<a id="FNanchor_114" href="#Footnote_114" class="fnanchor">114</a> where it is combined with another -male statue. All these figures are copied from early fifth-century -art, though the signs of eclectic archaism are sufficiently -clear. If we examine the so-called Electra of Naples, -we see an archaic early fifth-century head together with -a pose approaching the Praxitelean, transparent drapery of -the style of Alkamenes, and a low girdle and uncovered -shoulder reminiscent of Pergamon. The group of Menelaos,<a id="FNanchor_115" href="#Footnote_115" class="fnanchor">115</a> -a pupil of Stephanos, in the Terme Museum, is a less archaic-looking -and a more satisfactory work. Fifth century in -detail, in style it reminds us rather of the fourth-century -grave reliefs. To the same period, or perhaps a later one, -belongs the idea of grouping well-known statues originally -separate. Thus we have in the Capitol a group of the Melian -Venus with the Ares Borghese.<a id="FNanchor_116" href="#Footnote_116" class="fnanchor">116</a> This actual group, however, -belongs to a much later time.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">75</span></p> - -<p>Arcesilaos was another well-known sculptor of the age, -a friend of Pompey and Caesar. The Venus Genetrix of -the Louvre<a id="FNanchor_117" href="#Footnote_117" class="fnanchor">117</a> was made for the House of the Julii. It bears -its fifth-century origin clearly stamped on its style. Arcesilaos -also was a great provider of clay models, which he sold outright -to workshops for manufacturing purposes, so that -a finished statue might have never been seen by the artist -responsible for its design. A series of herms in the Terme -Museum<a id="FNanchor_118" href="#Footnote_118" class="fnanchor">118</a> show a strong archaistic tendency towards fifth-century -models, but bear also in details of pose and drapery -the clear stamp of the Greco-Roman age. Statues of this -type were intended for the decoration of Roman palaces. -They are no longer self-sufficing works of art, but are subject -to the general demands of artistic decoration.</p> - -<p>This brings us to the third division of Greco-Roman -sculpture, in reality its most original contribution to the -history of Greek art: the Neo-Attic reliefs,<a id="FNanchor_119" href="#Footnote_119" class="fnanchor">119</a> all of which are -primarily decorative in their purpose. The works with which -we have hitherto dealt—the Apollo Belvedere, the Torso -Belvedere, or the Venus Genetrix—have all been eclectic -in style, and consequently have lacked the sense of harmony -or uniformity, which is one of the conditions of great -sculpture. The same criticism applies to all the sculpture -of the mainland in the Hellenistic age. On the other -hand the schools of Pergamon, Rhodes, and Alexandria -attained a uniformity of style, and consequently were enabled -to produce masterpieces of art. Their works can be attributed -to a school, because they contain common elements of style -and technique based on a common theory of art. This<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">76</span> -community of purpose has been wholly lacking in the works -of Euboulides, Damophon, and the Melian artists, and only -partially felt in the works of Pasiteles and Arcesilaos. All -these artists were individualists selecting and combining at -their own will and pleasure. The Neo-Attic artists are quite -different. Their names are immaterial, because their works -all bear the impress of precisely the same style. There is -no chance of mistaking a Neo-Attic work; its origin is clear -in every line. These reliefs represent the last true school -of Greek sculpture, the last monuments in which a common -line of development can be studied unaffected by individual -idiosyncrasies. They are strongly archaistic, but in spite -of this they are essentially modern. They neither copy the -antique exactly, nor adapt it to existing modes as the followers -of Pasiteles did. They rather invent a new mode and a new -style in art, but they make use of archaic technical details -for its expression. Their art is essentially artificial and symbolic, -so that they represent a reaction against the academic -classicism of the period; but it is also meticulous in detail, -so that it can merit no reproach of a loose impressionism. -The Neo-Attic artists of the first century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> are really the -pre-Raphaelites of Greek art, and Rossetti and Burne-Jones -are the nearest parallel to them in later art history.</p> - -<p>Their reliefs are all decorative in purpose, for the adornment -of altars, candelabra, fountains, well-heads, or wall-panels; -and therefore they are not unnaturally attracted -by the most decorative of all the archaic schools, the late -Ionian or Attic-Ionian art of the end of the sixth century. -They make use also of later models, of the Victories of the -Balustrade, of Scopaic Maenads, of Praxitelean satyrs, but -all the models which they adopt are treated in a uniform<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">77</span> -style, a new style of exaggerated daintiness of pose and -gesture accompanied by an archaistic formality of drapery -and modelling. In this detail they contrast strongly with the -realism of the pre-Raphaelites. Their daintiness and formality -are derived from Ionian models, but reproduced in a wholly -different setting.</p> - -<p>The vase of Sosibios in the Louvre<a id="FNanchor_120" href="#Footnote_120" class="fnanchor">120</a> reproduces some of -their favourite types, which occur over and over again in -the decorative art of the early empire. The flute-playing -satyr, the dancing maenad, the armed dancer, and all the -other types are reproduced in every variety of combination, -but in identical form. The Neo-Attic sculptors were content -with the elaboration of a few types which they combined at -pleasure. They never attempted more intricate groups than -their variant of the two Victories with a bull from the Acropolis -Balustrade. Usually they merely group single figures -in long rows without any connexion in thought. Nothing -could bring out more clearly their essential poverty of ideas -and the purely commercial character of their art. The -designs are like so many stencil patterns which can be -applied to any form of monument.</p> - -<p>When we examine the figures more closely, we can see -the elements which make up their characteristic style. The -figures invariably march on tiptoe. Their fingers are extended -and the little finger is usually bent back in an affected manner. -This detail is derived from the archaic pose of the hand -holding out a flower, so common in late Ionian art. The tiptoe -pose is also found on ancient reliefs. The drapery is based -mainly on that of the late fifth-century Attic school, but -with various additions and refinements. The fluttering ends<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">78</span> -of cloaks and mantles recall fourth-century reliefs, while the -curving swallow-tail ends of flying drapery are imitated -directly from the sixth century. The drapery on the figure -itself usually hangs in straight archaic lines as in the Artemis -of Pompeii,<a id="FNanchor_121" href="#Footnote_121" class="fnanchor">121</a> where the zigzag shape of ancient folds is -reproduced with great formality; or it follows an almost -equally artificial system of wavy folds, based on the school of -the Balustrade, as in the fine relief of a dancing Maenad in -the Conservatori Museum.<a id="FNanchor_122" href="#Footnote_122" class="fnanchor">122</a> The elegant lounging poses with -bent head, which remind us somewhat of Burne-Jones -figures, are based no doubt on Praxiteles. The delineation -of the surface muscles of the nude body also follows a uniform -rule derived rather from the middle fifth-century Attic art -than from that of Ionia. The muscles of the male figures -tend to be over-emphasized, so far as that is conformable -with the elegant slenderness of their figures. But a description -of the figure-types of Neo-Attic art is incomplete -without some notice of the intricate decorative designs of -plants and animals which always frame and enshrine the -reliefs on altar or candelabrum. Archaic Greek decoration -was always formal and conventional in character. The -exquisite mouldings of the Erechtheum or of the later -Corinthian capital are not naturalistic but highly stylized. -Naturalistic floral or animal decoration begins with the -Hellenistic age, and is especially prominent in the Neo-Attic -monuments. The trailing vine, grape-clusters, wreaths of -flowers, new heraldic sphinxes, lions’ heads, &c., are carefully -worked out from nature and combined with the remnants -of the old decoration of palmettes, volutes, and tongue and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">79</span> -dart mouldings. The vase of Sosibios shows a combination -of the two principles, which is truly symbolic of the Greco-Roman -combined school, for naturalistic decorative designs -are just as representative of Roman art as formal ones are of -Hellenic. From the combined system of the Neo-Attic -reliefs we pass directly to the purely naturalistic floral designs -of Augustan architectural sculpture.</p> - -<p>Our survey of Greek sculpture must conclude with the -great buildings of Augustus. In them we see for the first -time the combination of Italian with Greek principles. The -Greco-Roman art which we have noticed hitherto has been -archaistic and eclectic, but it has been purely Greek. Roman -tastes have been studied and gratified, but style and technique -have remained wholly Greek and uncontaminated. Even -in the new buildings this procedure still continued. Pliny -tells us that Augustus, who had the fashionable taste for -the archaic in Greek art, actually imported the <i>Korai</i> of -Bupalos and Athenis for use as acroteria on his monuments. -The Conservatori Museum contains an almost exact copy of -one of these <i>Korai</i>,<a id="FNanchor_123" href="#Footnote_123" class="fnanchor">123</a> which must belong to the age of Augustus, -as well as a very inferior adaptation of the same type. The -<i>Kore</i> figure was translated into the so-called Spes type for -mirror handles and other elements of decoration.</p> - -<p>But Augustus was not the man to submit to a complete -extinction of Italian artistic principles. His system was -closely identified with a revival of ancient Italy in all directions, -and he was not likely to abandon Italic art. It therefore -came to pass that in the greatest sculptured monument of -his period—the Ara Pacis<a id="FNanchor_124" href="#Footnote_124" class="fnanchor">124</a> erected on the Campus Martius,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_80">80</span> -which is now being gradually and laboriously pieced together -again—we have a combination of Greek and Italian principles -of first-rate importance for the subsequent development of -Roman art. One side of the altar contained a relief of Tellus -or the Earth, which is hardly distinguishable from the -pastoral Hellenistic reliefs, but the procession which fills -the greater part of the other sides is treated in a very different -manner. The general scheme is Greek, and must have been -influenced by the Parthenon frieze, but the treatment in -detail is Italian. Thus we have the Roman toga with its -voluminous soft folds, and the Roman principle of direct -realistic portraiture in all the heads. But more important -than the portraiture is the appearance of a new development -of perspective in relief which is destined to have a great -career in the future of art, and which has been regarded by -some authorities as purely Italian.</p> - -<p>Greek reliefs had always been represented as if against -a tangible background, at first practically in two planes only, -and then in Hellenistic times in truer perspective, but -invariably against a background of some kind. Roman art, -on the other hand, in its more developed reliefs like those -on the Arch of Titus,<a id="FNanchor_125" href="#Footnote_125" class="fnanchor">125</a> eliminates the idea of background -and regards the wall on which the reliefs are placed as nonexistent. -The reliefs are intended to give the illusion of -free sculpture, as if they were standing in the round against -a background of the sky. A much greater depth must, -therefore, enter into the principle of perspective. Just as -in the bronze reliefs of the Florentine Baptistery Ghiberti -used the principle of no background and attempted to show -a whole countryside behind his figures as if the relief were<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">81</span> -a picture, so the artist of the reliefs of the Arch of Titus uses -a strongly diminishing perspective and a pronounced foreshortening -of his figures to produce this same effect of free -sculpture.</p> - -<p>In Greek sculpture of the Hellenistic age it is true to -say that the depth of the background has been greatly -increased. This is visible even as early as the Telephos -frieze. But it would be hard to point to a Greek relief in -which the effect was wholly pictorial and the idea of the -background was entirely abolished. This principle, however, -does appear in the reliefs of the Ara Pacis, and therefore they -mark a new era in art. The perspective and the foreshortening -are stronger and more illusional. In the background we get -flat heads just incised in the marble to give the effect of the -depth of the crowd. The scene is in fact not a procession in -Indian file but a true crowd many ranks deep. The principle -is not altogether adequately carried out in the Ara Pacis, -but soon it is more completely mastered. The stucco -decorations of the Villa Farnesina,<a id="FNanchor_126" href="#Footnote_126" class="fnanchor">126</a> though in the lowest -possible relief, express a depth greater than any Hellenistic -landscape relief. They are purely pictorial in character.</p> - -<p>The subordination of sculpture to pictorial ideas is -Italian not Greek. Italy through Etruria, her real artistic -pioneer, was always a patron of painting rather than sculpture, -and therefore under the Empire sculpture becomes either -wholly decorative or merely devoted to portraiture. During -the reign of Augustus Greek influence still persists, and under -Hadrian we have a Greek revival, but from Tiberius to the -Renaissance sculpture descends from a primary to a secondary -art.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">82</span></p> - -<p>Another great development of Augustan sculpture is -the free use of naturalistic floral designs. Etruscan and -Roman art was always realistic, and never tolerated conventions -when they could be eliminated. Roman architecture -and art both abandoned at once the Greek use of formal -conventional mouldings. The Ara Pacis and other monuments -of the Augustan age first give us the beautiful rendering -of purely realistic wreaths of flowers and fruit, which are -the hall-marks of Roman altars and friezes. The Imperial -art of Rome as it begins under Augustus is profoundly -indebted to Greek art for almost all its types and its technical -procedure. Doubtless the greater number of his artists -and architects were Greeks. But they were working in the -midst of a new culture and a new environment, and thus -they unconsciously absorbed new traditions and new ideas, -just as their predecessors had done in Pergamon and Alexandria. -In Greece itself no further advance was possible. -Artistic production was purely commercial, and all the -sources of inspiration were closed. In Rome, where alone -could be found a career for a creative artist, he had gradually -to submit to the <i>genius loci</i>. The artificers of the empire -must have long remained Greeks, and all Roman art bears -the stamp of Hellenic origin, but at the same time Greek art -is changed along the lines of pictorial illusion and pure -realism in portraiture. It loses all touch with Greek idealism -and serves to express Roman narrative history. Its gods, -its myths, and its outlook are changed. It becomes Roman, -just as Gothic art became national in each country which it -invaded.</p> - -<p>We are left then with only one further question to discuss. -What are the permanent elements of Hellenism in Roman<span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">83</span> -art, and, after Roman art, in the art of the Renaissance and -of modern times? What is the true character of Greek -sculpture, and what has it bequeathed to all civilizations -which have followed it?</p> - -<p>The question is a large one which cannot be easily -solved in a few phrases. Greek sculpture is not to be hastily -identified with what we call classicism in art and contrasted -with romanticism and realism. Greek art is classic, if we -mean by that term academic, only for a brief period of its -decadence. During the fourth century and the Hellenistic -age it displays all the phenomena of romantic and realistic -art. In fact Greek art as a whole comprises every form of -artistic expression, and exhibits wellnigh the whole of the -possibilities that lie between the caveman and the aesthete. -We do not, however, confuse the work of Donatello or of -Rodin or of modern impressionists with Greek sculpture, -and this clarity of distinction demands some examination. -How can we distinguish Greek work from that of every other -civilization?</p> - -<p>The answer is not to be found in style or in technique. -It lies in the more hidden depths of psychology. If we take -the history of Greek sculpture as a whole, the attitude of -the artist to his work and of the public to art in general and -of art itself to life is different from that prevalent in any other -society. Neither under the Roman Empire nor during the -Renaissance nor in the modern world is art regarded as an -essential form of self-expression as natural as conversation -or amusement or religion. It is fair to assume that the average -modern man regards statues with indifference slightly -flavoured with amusement. Nobody would notice the -difference if he were living in a town full of statues or in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">84</span> -one without any. They satisfy no need in modern existence, -and they are mere excrescences on our civilization. Even -pictures, which we understand better, are mainly regarded -from the point of view of decorative furniture. Art is an -embellishment of modern life, not an essential part of it. -It is considered a means of pleasure or a means of amusement, -not as part of the serious business of life. Even in the -Renaissance, where art played a much more important rôle -in the life of the community than it now does, it was still -a by-product of man’s activity. Popes and rulers found -leisure to patronize Cellini or Michael Angelo, but their -main business in life was rather to poison each other or to -increase their landed property. The Romans looked on -art much as we do, and with the same tolerant air of showing -our superiority by a correct taste.</p> - -<p>The attitude of the Greeks was wholly different. To -them art was bound up with religion, for their religion found -its natural expression in art rather than in any emotional -ceremonies such as Christianity introduced. The religion -of the city in particular, a stronger feeling than our modern -patriotism, could only be expressed by art. The disappearance -of the city-state was, therefore, a great blow to the -idealism of Greek art, but even after this time a man’s private -feelings could better be expressed in terms of art than in terms -of religion. The Cnidian goddess of Praxiteles was more -than a statue; it was an idea. The Victory of Samothrace -was Triumph itself, not a mere masterpiece. To a Greek -the statues he loved represented what religion means to most -Christians; not that his feelings were equally intense or -equally pure, but they expressed the same side of his nature.</p> - -<p>In a psychological state like this both the artist and the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">85</span> -public are bound to regard art with very different eyes. The -Greeks could have tolerated experimental frivolity or chicanery -in art as little as we should tolerate the travesty of a religious -service. Therefore they admitted dogma in art, as we admit -dogma in religion. We lightly overthrow all established -artistic principles to introduce a new temporary fad. To -the Greek such an idea was equivalent to sacrilege. This -accounts very largely for the slow development of Greek art -and its great reluctance to admit new principles. It could -never become purely experimental or adventurous. Until -the end of the fifth century this driving-force of the religious -connexion is paramount in all Greek art. In the fourth -century and the Hellenistic age the connexion of art and -religion is shaken, but if religion passes away, the passionate -devotion to art takes its place, and art itself becomes almost -a religion. The stories of the great painters and of the intense -love of whole communities for their works of art can be -parallelled perhaps in some of the states of the Renaissance, -but they have assuredly no parallel in Roman or in modern -times. Our whole attitude towards art as an ‘extra’ and an -unessential prevents us from appreciating its vital importance -to the Greek. A community, whose ideas of art are Hellenic, -knows no abrupt distinctions between the useful and the -beautiful, because all the objects of its daily life are beautiful -of necessity; it knows nothing of good taste, because there -is no bad taste to contrast, and we may even find, as in the -case of Greece herself, that its words for ‘good’ and ‘evil’ -are simply ‘beautiful’ and ‘ugly’ (καλός and αἰσχρός).</p> - -<p>The whole fabric of Greek art goes to pieces when it is -brought into contact with a purely utilitarian nation like -Rome. It succeeded in humanizing and educating the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">86</span> -upper classes, but it had little effect on the mob. Art, therefore, -in Rome became a means of decorating palaces and not -a national treasure. The contact with Christianity was even -more destructive, for if the Romans had been merely indifferent, -the Christians were actively hostile. The new religion -was Semitic in origin, and cared nothing for beauty or ugliness. -If anything, it found in ugliness a means of atonement for -sin. The Greek love of beauty was the worst enemy Christianity -encountered, and the Fathers direct long pamphlets -and arguments against the pagan deities and their statues. -Nor were they content with arguments, when they could -wield a hammer or throw a stone. Early Christianity, like -Mohammedanism or the Spartan system, depended on a strict -subordination of the individual, and consequently attacked -most bitterly the artistic spirit which must be free if it is to -live at all. Of all the nations who have existed since the fall -of Greece the Chinese and Japanese have come nearest to -the Greek spirit in art owing to the lack of a religion of self-denial. -The earlier period of the Renaissance was also -Hellenic, but when artists were captured by the Church -and turned to painting saints and madonnas, their Greek -freedom left them. Parrhasios might have claimed kinship -with Botticelli’s Birth of Venus or his Pallas; he would have -seen no beauty in his Madonnas.</p> - -<p>Another consequence of the vital importance of art in -Greek life was that artistic expression was almost wholly -confined to the human form. Just as we exclude animals -and plants from our religion, the Greek excluded them from -his art as long as its religious connexion was intact. Between -the sixth century and the Hellenistic age no Greek artist -paid any attention to any animal save the horse, whose human<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">87</span> -associations exempted him, and even the horse had to be -content with a more or less conventional treatment. Greek -art, like Greek religion, is essentially anthropomorphic.</p> - -<p>When we ask what is the debt of modern art to Greek -art, there is no reply. We cannot point to this idea or that, -and say this is Hellenic and that is non-Hellenic. We can -say this is Pheidian, that Scopaic, or this is Pergamene and -that Rhodian, but to say art is Greek is simply to say it is -good. For Greek art comprises every genuine effort of the -artist; every statue which is made with sincere love of -beauty and unmixed desire for its attainment is Greek in -spirit; every statue, however cunning and ingenious, which -is merely frivolous or hypocritical or untrue, is a crime -against Hellenism and a sin against the light. The Greek -bequest to later artists is nothing tangible; it is the soul and -spirit of the artist. True art cannot be attained by rule; -it demands a condition of receptivity of inspiration, in other -words, of faith, in the artist; only thus can the elements -of technique be so combined as to make something far greater -than their mere sum total. Great art must reflect something -intangible that strikes a chord of sympathy in the spectator, -and the chord, as <i>Abt Vogler</i> expresses it, is something far -greater than the sum of its notes:</p> - -<div class="poetry-container pw40"> -<div class="poetry"> - <div class="stanza"> - <div class="verse indent0">But here is the finger of God, a flash of the will that can,</div> - <div class="verse indent2">Existent beyond all laws, that made them and, lo, they are!</div> - <div class="verse indent0">And I know not if, save in this, such gift be allowed to man,</div> - <div class="verse indent2">That out of three sounds he frame, not a fourth sound, but a star.</div> - </div> -</div> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<div id="chap_89" class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_89">89</span></p><h2 class="nobreak" id="APPENDIX"><span class="gesperrt">APPENDIX</span><br /> -<span class="subhead">PUBLISHED WORKS OF THE AUTHOR</span></h2> -</div> - -<p>The published papers of Guy Dickins may best be ranged under -three heads: (1) historic work, (2) results of travel and excavation, -(3) studies in Greek sculpture.</p> - -<p>I. Under the first head come ‘Some points with regard to the -Homeric House’ (<i>J.H.S.</i>, 1903).</p> - -<p>This is Dickins’s earliest paper. The subject has attracted several -of our younger archaeologists. Dickins takes up in particular the -internal arrangement of the Megaron, and the nature and position -of the ὀρσοθύρη and the ῥῶγες. He proceeds very carefully, trying -to combine the testimony of the Palace of Tiryns with that of -Cnossus and Phylakopi.</p> - -<p>‘The true cause of the Peloponnesian War’ (<i>Class. Quarterly</i>, -1911).</p> - -<p>‘The growth of Spartan Policy’ (<i>J.H.S.</i>, 1912, 1913).</p> - -<p>These are detailed attempts to explain the policy of Sparta in -regard to the neighbouring states and Athens down to the time of -Archidamus and Agis. In consequence of the paucity of existing -historic records, the sketch is necessarily of a somewhat speculative -character, the more so as a chief object of inquiry is unavoidably the -motives which dominated the statesmen and the parties at Sparta. -There is good ground for the contention that down to 550 <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> Sparta -underwent a political development, and even an artistic growth, -parallel to that in other Greek cities; but that after that time the -city developed on lines of its own, as a purely military state. This -is, as we shall see, the most interesting result established by the -recent excavations on the site. Looking for a personality to associate<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">90</span> -with the change, Dickins finds one in Chilon, a name not prominent -in history, but suggestively mentioned by Herodotus and Diogenes -Laertius. He seems to have succeeded in raising the Ephors to -equal power with the Kings, and thenceforward, according to Dickins, -the clue to Spartan policy is to be found in the clashings of the two -powers. Until 468 the struggle was acute; and it was not until -the end of the fifth century that the supremacy of the Ephors was -established. The question of dominance over the helots, which has -by some writers been regarded as the mainspring of Spartan policy, -was less important in the fifth century than it became in the fourth.</p> - -<p>In the paper in the <i>Classical Quarterly</i> it is maintained, in opposition -to some recent historians of Greece, that Thucydides is right in -saying that it was jealousy of the rising power of Athens which -brought on the Peloponnesian War.</p> - -<p>Dickins is well versed in both ancient and modern historians, -and he writes with clearness and force; but the motives of statesmen -and the underlying causes of events are so intricate that the discussion -of them seldom leads to a really objective addition to our knowledge -of ancient history.</p> - -<p>II. Under the second head, accounts of exploration and excavation, -come Dickins’s Reports of his work in the exploration of Laconia -and Sparta. In the years 1904–8 the British School of Athens was -engaged in the interesting task, assigned to it by the Greek Government, -of making a careful survey of Laconia, and trying by excavation -what could be recovered of the monuments and history of -ancient Sparta. Mr. R. M. Dawkins, the Director of the School, -was in charge of the excavations, and various parts of the work were -assigned to students of the school, A. J. B. Wace, J. P. Droop, -A. M. Woodward, Dickins, and others. In the <i>Annual</i> of the school, -vols. xi to xiv, there are several papers written by Dickins, one on -excavation at Thalamae in Laconia, others on the excavation of the -shrine of Athena Chalkioikos at Sparta, and the works of art found -on the site. It is this temple and that of Artemis Orthia which<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">91</span> -have yielded the most important results of the undertaking. But -as the work was one executed in common by a group of students -who worked into one another’s hands, it is not desirable or possible -to separate the threads in Dickins’s hands from the others.</p> - -<p>III. Men of strong originality usually produce more satisfactory -work on subjects as to which they have gradually acquired first-hand -knowledge than on subjects which they have merely taken up -as a task. This was notably the case with Dickins. His best papers -by far are those dealing with Sparta and Lycosura, places where -he worked on definite lines, and where he reached important -results.</p> - -<p>His paper on the art of Sparta<a id="FNanchor_127" href="#Footnote_127" class="fnanchor">127</a> is extremely valuable; and -as it is hidden in a place little visited by classical scholars, it is -desirable to speak of it in some detail. There will before long appear -a work on the results of the excavations of the British School of -Athens at Sparta, a work which will contain some contributions by -Dickins: and of course it is possible that the excavators will modify -the views set forth ten years ago. But meantime the paper in question -is the best summary existing of the results of the excavation in -relation to Spartan art.</p> - -<p>The current notion that from the first settlement of the Dorians -in Sparta they formed a state organized for war only has to be greatly -modified. The warlike Sparta familiar to us from Plutarch and other -writers came into existence only in the course of the sixth century. -The earlier history of Sparta had been parallel to that of other -Greek cities; and we are able now to mark out successive periods -of development in the local artistic remains. In these remains -Dickins discerns four periods. First, there is the age of geometric -art, the ninth and early eighth centuries, when art products show the -dominance of the early Dorian civilization which the Spartans -brought with them from the north. Next comes a period in which -we find oriental art invading, owing to trade with Egypt and Ionia.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">92</span> -In the third period we find a fusion of native Greek art with the -oriental style of importation. The fourth period, the sixth and fifth -centuries, should show us at Sparta, as in other Greek cities, a bloom -of local art; but it never had a fair chance of development, as the -rise of the military spirit and asceticism in manners blighted it in -the midst of its spring. Thenceforward Sparta is cut off from the -stream which leads to such wonderful results in the architecture and -sculpture of Argos and Athens. It is a lesson for all times. Many -of the early Spartan works of art are represented in the article. Their -character is striking: Dickins compares them with the works -found by Dr. Hogarth in the earliest strata of Ephesus; and the -Ionian influence in them confirms the tales told by the historians of -the frequent relations between Sparta and Asia Minor.</p> - -<p>The sculptural group of Damophon of Messene at Lycosura -in Arcadia has long been an object of interest to archaeologists. We -knew that it consisted of four colossal figures, Demeter, Despoina, -Artemis, and the Titan Anytus. But there was no agreement as to -the date of the group: Damophon had been assigned by various -writers to periods as far apart as the fourth century before, and the -second century after, our era. When the site at Lycosura was -excavated in 1889–90 by the Greek archaeologists Leonardos and -Kavvadias, fragments of the statues were found, and the style -proved somewhat disappointing. The closer study of these fragments -was resumed in 1906 by Dr. Kourouniotis, who partially restored -two of the figures. But it was reserved for Dickins, in a series of -closely reasoned and masterly papers,<a id="FNanchor_128" href="#Footnote_128" class="fnanchor">128</a> to complete the restoration -of the group, and to fix definitely the date and style of Damophon.</p> - -<p>The first paper deals with the date of Damophon, which is fixed -on the definite evidence of inscriptions to the first half of the second -century <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span>, and deals so thoroughly with his historic connexion -that little is left for any future archaeologist to say in regard to it. -The architectural evidence at Lycosura confirms the date assigned.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">93</span> -In the second paper Dickins carries out a most detailed and convincing -restoration of the group, adding a discussion of the style -of Damophon. In the third paper he is able to confirm the accuracy -of his restoration by comparing with it a copy of the group on -a bronze coin of Julia Domna struck at Megalopolis. When the -restoration was published nothing was known of this coin; it may -therefore be regarded as independent evidence of the most satisfying -character; and its agreement in all but a few details with -Dickins’s restoration shows that his work survives that most severe -of all tests, the discovery of fresh evidence. Few conjectural -restorations of archaeologists stand on so firm a basis.</p> - -<p>Damophon had interested Dickins even before he became his -special subject of study, for as early as 1905 he had published two -bearded heads, one in the Vatican, one in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek, -which resemble the head of Anytus.<a id="FNanchor_129" href="#Footnote_129" class="fnanchor">129</a></p> - -<p>In 1906 he published a new replica of the Choiseul Gouffier -type.<a id="FNanchor_130" href="#Footnote_130" class="fnanchor">130</a> His keen eye had discerned in the Terme Museum at Rome -a detached leg of the same form and style as the left leg of the -Choiseul Gouffier figure of the British Museum. To the support -to which this leg is attached there is also attached a quiver, and this -led Dickins to conclude that the Choiseul Gouffier figure is not, as -many have thought, an athlete, but an Apollo, as Mr. Murray -always maintained.</p> - -<p>In 1911 he published an account<a id="FNanchor_131" href="#Footnote_131" class="fnanchor">131</a> of a colossal marble sandal -in the Palazzo dei Conservatori at Rome, adorned with reliefs on -the side of the sole. Struck with the likeness of the style of these -reliefs to that of the figures on the garment at Lycosura, he boldly -suggests that it is an original work of Damophon.</p> - -<p>In 1914 he discussed the question<a id="FNanchor_132" href="#Footnote_132" class="fnanchor">132</a> whether the noteworthy -female head at Holkham Hall can be given, as Sir Charles Walston -has suggested, to the east pediment of the Parthenon; and answered -the question with a decided negative. Another paper in the same<span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">94</span> -year suggests the identification of several sculptured heads in various -museums as portraits of kings of the Hellenistic Age, Egyptian, -Syrian, and Pergamene. The paper also discusses the portraits of -Thucydides and Aristotle. There is no more treacherous ground -in archaeology than the assignment of portraits which are uninscribed; -but the keenness of sight and the cautious method of Dickins had -made him eminently fit for such inquiries.</p> - -<p>In 1912 appeared a work on which Dickins had expended great -labour, the first volume of the <i>Catalogue of the Acropolis Museum at -Athens</i>,<a id="FNanchor_133" href="#Footnote_133" class="fnanchor">133</a> comprising the sculpture down to the time of the Persian -wars. The archaic Korae and male figures which stood in lines on -the Acropolis and the pediments of the temples and shrines which -adorned it when the Persians broke in in 480 constitute one of the -most wonderful revelations of early Greek art. They have been -frequently photographed; but their scientific study had not advanced -with their popularity, and a number of difficult questions, as to -date, artistic school, and manner of drapery awaited the cataloguer. -With great care and excellent method Dickins approached these -questions; and laid down a platform of knowledge on which all -future discussions must be based. The work is in several ways -a model.</p> - -<p>A posthumous paper on ‘The Followers of Praxiteles’, published -in the <i>Annual of the British School</i>,<a id="FNanchor_134" href="#Footnote_134" class="fnanchor">134</a> had been given as a lecture -at Oxford. It covers some of the ground occupied by the present -volume. This with some manuscript to be printed in the forthcoming -account of excavations at Sparta and in the forthcoming second -volume of the <i>Catalogue of the Municipal Collections of Sculpture -at Rome</i>, completes the list of published works. My claim is that -they should rather be weighed than measured.</p> - -<p class="sigright"> -<span class="smcap">P.
