PAUSIAS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 969 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PAUSIAS , a
Greek
  painter of the 4th
century
 , of the school of Sicyon. He introduced the custom of
painting
  ceilings of houses. His
great
  merit appears to have lain in the better rendering of foreshortening. The words in which Pliny (
xxxv
 . 127) describes a
bull
  painted by him should be quoted: " Wishing to display the length of the
bull
 's
body
 , he painted it from the front, not in profile, and yet fully indicated its measure. Again, while others fill in with
white
  the high lights, and paint in black what is less salient, he painted the whole bull of dark colour, and gave substance to the shadow out of the shadow itself, with
great
  skill making his figures stand out from a flat background, and indicating their shape when foreshortened." This passage well marks the state of
painting
  at the time.
