Euphranor of Corinth


Greek painter and sculptor of the mid 4th cent. BC, active in Athens. Literary accounts show that he was one of the most celebrated artists of his day, but the only surviving work that can be associated with him is a headless and armless marble statue of Apollo [Agora Mus, Athens, c. 370 BC]. His lost works included bronzes of Philip of Macedon [328-336] and his son Alexander the Great [356-323 BC], and he is also said to have written treatises on proportion and colour.
