Lysippos was a
Greek sculptor of the
4th century BC. Lysippos,
Skopas and
Praxiteles are considered the three great sculptors of the
Classical Greek era, bringing transition into the
Hellenistic era. Taken together, the large workshop of Lysippos, the demand for replicas of his work in his lifetime and later among Hellenistic and Roman connoisseurs, the number of disciples directly in his circle and the survival of his works only in copies, pose problems of method for the student.
