-INTRODUCTORY NOTE
-
-
-Guy Dickins wrote these chapters on Hellenistic Sculpture as a brief
-sketch of the period to which he hoped to devote years of study. They
-foreshadow some of the theories which he intended to work out, and for
-that reason we believe that they will be useful to the student. There
-are obvious omissions, but no attempt has been made to fill up gaps in
-the manuscript, such as paragraphs on the Barberini Faun or the Attic
-Gaul, which were left blank in 1914.
-
-The illustrations, which naturally must be limited in number, have
-been selected by me mainly on the principle of reproducing the less
-accessible pieces of sculpture while giving references to standard
-works for the others.
-
-In preparing my husband’s manuscript for publication I have to
-acknowledge with gratitude the help of many friends. 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. Hutton for
-her counsel throughout; and to Mr. Alan Wace for sending me photographs
-from Athens. I have also to thank the Hellenic Society, the Committee
-of the British School at Athens, and Dr. Caskey of the Boston Museum
-for permission to reproduce certain photographs.

-PREFACE
-
-
-Among the losses which Oxford has suffered from the war, none is
-more to be regretted than that of the author of this volume. 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.

-THE SCHOOL OF PERGAMON
-
-
-Most of the writers on Greek art agree in calling the Hellenistic
-period an age of decadence. 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: 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.

-
-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.

-
-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: 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.

-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.

-
-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: 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.

-
-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.

-
-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.

-
-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.

-
-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.

-law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
-so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
-States without permission and without paying copyright
-royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
-concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
-trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

-START: FULL LICENSE
-
-THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
-PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
-
-To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
-distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
-(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
-Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
-www.gutenberg.org/license.
-
-Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or
-destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your
-possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
-Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
-by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
-person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph
-1.E.8.
-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
- eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
- within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
- legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
- payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
- Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
- Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
- any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
- electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
- receipt of the work.
-
-* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-
-<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">Guy Dickins</span> wrote these chapters on Hellenistic
-Sculpture as a brief sketch of the period to which he
-hoped to devote years of study. They foreshadow
-some of the theories which he intended to work out, and for
-that reason we believe that they will be useful to the student.
-There are obvious omissions, but no attempt has been made
-to fill up gaps in the manuscript, such as paragraphs on the
-Barberini Faun or the Attic Gaul, which were left blank in
-1914.</p>
-
-<p>The illustrations, which naturally must be limited in
-number, have been selected by me mainly on the principle
-of reproducing the less accessible pieces of sculpture while
-giving references to standard works for the others.</p>
-
-<p>In preparing my husband’s manuscript for publication
-I have to acknowledge with gratitude the help of many
-friends. 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. Hutton for her
-counsel throughout; and to Mr. Alan Wace for sending
-me photographs from Athens. I have also to thank the
-Hellenic Society, the Committee of the British School at
-Athens, and Dr. Caskey of the Boston Museum for permission
-to reproduce certain photographs.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class="drop-cap al"><span class="smcap1">Among</span> the losses which Oxford has suffered from the
-war, none is more to be regretted than that of the
-author of this volume. 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>

-<span class="subhead">THE SCHOOL OF PERGAMON</span></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">Most</span> of the writers on Greek art agree in calling the
-Hellenistic period an age of decadence. 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>

-<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>

-<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

-<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>

-
-<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>

-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>

-
-<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>

-<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>

-<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>

-<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>

-<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>

-<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>

-
-<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>

-<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 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>

-
-<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, &amp;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. We cannot believe in the Laocoon as we believe
-in the Hermes of Praxiteles.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class="drop-cap"><span class="smcap1">While</span> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">54</span>
-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.</p>

-
-<p>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 <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,
-&amp;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>

-
-<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>

-<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;">

- <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>

-<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>

-
-<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>

-<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. These were Pasiteles
-and Arcesilaos, names of high importance for Greek art.</p>

-<p>Pasiteles was an artist of great versatility and scientific

-which served as a primary authority for Pliny.<a id="FNanchor_107" href="#Footnote_107" class="fnanchor">107</a> He was

-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, &amp;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>

-<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>

-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given

-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the

-START: FULL LICENSE
-

-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See

-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
- eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including

-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means

-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-

-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
- within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
- legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
- payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
- Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
- Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
- any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
- electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
- receipt of the work.
-
-* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
