PAUSIAS, one of the best of Greek painters,
of Sicyon, son and pupil of Bryes, and
scholar of Pamphilus, about 360-330 B.C.
He became most famous for his paintings
in encaustic, which art he had learned from
Pamphilus, and he was the first to use this
method in the decoration of walls and ceilings.
Art in his hands made great technical
progress, especially in the modelling of
objects through skilfully treated light and
shadow. This was most conspicuous in his
picture of a Sacrifice, preserved in the portico
of Pompey at Rome. The victim, a
black ox, was so admirably foreshortened
that, though standing with his head to the
spectator, his length seemed to be measurable;
and the shadow of the animal falling
on a group of people in a strong light caused
both to appear to stand out from the picture.
Another famous picture of his was the
portrait of Glycera, a flower-girl, for a copy
of which L. Lucullus paid two talents. Pliny
says (xxxv. 40 [123]) that Pausias painted
many small pictures, chiefly miniatures of
children. Pausanias (ii. 27, 3) mentions
two paintings by Pausias, in the Tholus at
Epidaurus, the one representing Love, the
other Drunkenness.
