CRESILAS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 412 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRESILAS , a Cretan sculptor of Cydonia. He was a con-temporary of
Pheidias
 , and one of the sculptors who vied in producing statues of
amazons
  at
Ephesus
  (see
GREEK
  ART) about 450 B.C. As his amazon was wounded (volnerata; Pliny, Nat. Hist. xxxiv. 75), we may safely identify it with the figure, of which several copies are extant, who is carefully removing her blood-stained garment from a wound under the right breast. Another
work
  of Cresilas of which copies survive is the portrait of Pericles, the earliest
Greek
  portrait which has been with certainty identified, and which fully confirms the statement of ancient critics that Cresilas was an artist -who idealized and added
nobility
  to men of
noble
  type. An extant portrait of
Anacreon
  is also derived from Cresilas.
