THEON

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 785 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THEON , of Samos,
Greek
  painter of the age of Alexander the
Great
 , is mentioned by
Quintilian
  as a
good
  artist of the second rank. If we may trust the somewhat flimsy stories told about him, his forte consisted in a lifelike, or perhaps, as
Brunn
  (KiInstlergeschichte, ii. 253) puts it, a theatrical
representation
  of action. His figures were said to start out of the picture. He
chose
  such congenial subjects as the madness of Orestes, and a soldier rushing to
battle
 . Another painter, Theorus, is mentioned, whom
Brunn
  regards as identical with Theon.
