Zeuxis

(zo͞ok`sĭs), fl. 5th cent. B.C., Greek painter. According to tradition he settled in Ephesus, was an intimate (possibly a pupil) of Apollodorus, and aided in developing a technique for painting light and shadow. Although none of his paintings survives, they are known through ancient writings. Pliny speaks of his competing with Parrhasius for realistic illusion.

Zeuxis

 

an ancient Greek painter who lived from the end of the fifth to the beginning of the fourth century B.C.

Zeuxis worked in various cities in Greece and Italy. He was one of the first to use shading, striving toward illusionistic representation. His works, including Helen, The Centaur Family, and The Infant Heracles Strangling the Serpents, are known from classical literary sources and from later copies of them in Roman wall paintings (House of Vettii in Pompeii) and mosaics (Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, near Rome).
