Text Appearing Before Image:
rk of a pupil of Lysippus or of asculptor working under his influence; the probabilityof such an assumption is increased by the fact thatsimilar scenes of hunting and battle are recorded asmade by Euthycrates, the son of Lysippus. Thespirited group of Alexander striking at a warrior inPersian dress, whose horse has been wounded or bornedown by the charge, is here reproduced as an exampleof the combat scenes. From this one can realise howthe crowded composition and the varied action of thefigures suggests the melee of battle, even though itbreaks up into the usual series of pairs of combatants.We find a marked contrast to the slabs of the Mauso-leum frieze, where every figure stands out clearly definedagainst its own bit of background, and the action, how-ever violent, is almost all in one plane. Here there is asuggestion of depth, and the figures sometimes seem torecede into the background or to advance out of it. Itis, however, above all the expression and character in Plate LXXI ^^^
Text Appearing After Image:
HEAD OF ALEXANDER: DETAIL FROM HAMDY-BEY AND REINACH, op. err., pl. xxxiii Between j>p. 228 rcwd 229 Plate LXXII
