Cimon Of Cleonae

Cimon Of Cleonae

▪ Greek artist

flourished c. 525–500 BC

      Greek painter said to have invented foreshortened or “three-quarter views,” to have introduced depiction of wrinkles and folds in drapery, and to have represented human beings in different attitudes (e.g., looking upward, downward, backward, etc.). He was a native of Cleonae, a city between Corinth and Argos.

      Although Cimon has been dated to the 8th century BC, the fact would seem to be that foreshortening did not appear in Greek art until the end of the 6th century. Moreover, Cimon is mentioned in two epigrams datable to the last part of the 6th century.
