NICOMACHUS

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 664 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICOMACHUS , of Thebes, Greek painter, of the early
part
  of the 4th century, was a contemporary of the greatest painters of
Greece
 ; Vitruvius observes that if his fame was less than theirs, it was the fault of fortune rather than of demerit. Pliny (
xxxv
 . ro8) gives a
list
  of his works; among them a " Rape of Persephone," " Victory in a
Quadriga
 ," a group of Apollo and Artemis, and the "
Mother
  of the Gods seated on a Lion." Pliny tells us that he was a very rapid worker and used but four colours (the last seems impossible).
Plutarch
  mentions his paintings as possessing the Homeric merit of ease and
absence
  of effort.
