Pasiteles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pasiteles was a Neo-Attic school sculptor from Ancient Rome at the time of Julius Caesar. Pastiteles is said by Pliny to have been a native of Magna Graecia, and to have been granted the Roman citizenship. He worked during a period where there was a demand for copies of, or variations on, noted works of Greek sculpture: the demand was met by the workshops of Pasiteles and his pupils Stephanus and Menelaus and others, several of whose statues are extant.
