I suppose�察 �Parrhasius ��said he���察 �painting may be defined as ;a
representation of visible objects�察─�may it not�殖�3�А�That is to say�察�by means
of colours and palette you painters represent and reproduce as closely as
possible the ups and downs�察�lights and shadows�察�hard and soft�察�rough and

trans。 ;Painting is the term applied to a particular representation�察─�
etc。
You are right ��he answered���察�that is so。
Soc。 Further�察�in portraying ideal types of beauty�察�seeing it is not easy to
light upon any one human being who is absolutely devoid of blemish�察�you
cull from many models the most beautiful traits of each�察�and so make your
figures appear completely beautiful�殖�4�А�

��5�А �Or�察 �that is the secret of our creations�察─ �or ;our art of
composition。;
Well�察�but stop ��Socrates continued���察�do you also pretend to represent in
similar perfection the characteristic moods of the soul�察 �its captivating
charm and sweetness�察�with its deep wells of love�察�its intensity of yearning�察�
its burning point of passion�拭 �or is all this quite incapable of being
depicted�拭�
Nay ��he answered���察 �how should a mood be other than inimitable�察�
Socrates�察 �when it possesses neither linear proportion��6�А �nor colour�察 �nor
any of those qualities which you named just now�察�when�察�in a word�察�it is

Soc。 Well�察�but the kindly look of love�察�the angry glance of hate at any
one�察�do find expression in the human subject�察�do they not�殖�7�А�
��7�А �Or�察 �the glance of love�察 �the scowl of hate�察 �which one directs
towards another�察 �are recognised expressions of human feeling。; Cf。
the description of Parrhasius's own portrait of Demos�察�ap。 Plin。 loc。
cit。
Parrh。 No doubt they do。
Soc。 Then this look�察�this glance�察�at any rate may be imitated in the eyes�察�
may it not�拭�
Undoubtedly ��he answered��。
Soc。 And do anxiety and relief of mind occasioned by the good or evil
fortune of those we love both wear the same expression�拭�
By no means ��he answered���察�at the thought of good we are radiant�察�at
that of evil a cloud hangs on the brow。
Soc。 Then here again are looks with it is possible to represent�拭�
Parrh。 Decidedly。
Soc。 Furthermore�察 �as through some chink or crevice�察 �there pierces
through the countenance of a man�察�through the very posture of his body as
he stands or moves�察 �a glimpse of his nobility and freedom�察 �or again of
something in him low and grovellingthe calm of self´restraint�察 �and
wisdom�察�or the swagger of insolence and vulgarity�拭�
You are right ��he answered��。
Soc。 Then these too may be imitated�拭�
No doubt ��he said��。
Soc。 And which is the pleasanter type of face to look at�察�do you think ´
´one on which is imprinted the characteristics of a beautiful�察 �good�察 �and
lovable disposition�察�or one which bears the impress of what is ugly�察�and
bad�察�and hateful�殖�8�А�
��8�А �For this theory cp。 Ruskin�察 �Mod。 P。; ii。 94 foll。 and indeed

Parrh。 Doubtless�察�Socrates�察�there is a vast distinction between the two。
At another time he entered the workshop of the sculptor Cleiton�撮�9�А�

You have a gallery of handsome people here�撮�10�А�Cleiton�察�runners�察�and
wrestlers�察�and boxers�察�and pancratiaststhat I see and know�察�but how do
you give the magic touch of life to your creations�察 �which most of all
allures the soul of the beholder through his sense of vision�拭�
��10�А �Reading after L。 Dind。 ��kaloi ous���察 �or if vulg。 ��alloious���察�
translate ;You have a variety of types�察�Cleiton�察�not all of one mould�察�
but runners�察─�etc。�察�al。 ;I see quite well how you give the diversity of
form to your runners�察─�etc。
As Cleiton stood perplexed�察 �and did not answer at once�察 �Socrates
added�此 �Is it by closely imitating the forms of living beings that you
succeed in giving that touch of life to your statues�拭�
No doubt ��he answered��。
Soc。 It is�察 �is it not�察 �by faithfully copying the various muscular
contractions of the body in obedience to the play of gesture and poise�察�the
wrinklings of flesh and the sprawl of limbs�察 �the tensions and the
relaxations�察 �that you succeed in making your statues like real beings
make them ;breathe; as people say�拭�
Cleit。 Without a doubt。
Soc。 And does not the faithful imitation of the various affections of the
body when engaged in any action impart a particular pleasure to the
beholder�拭�
Cleit。 I should say so。
Soc。 Then the threatenings in the eyes of warriors engaged in battle
should be carefully copied�察 �or again you should imitate the aspect of a
conqueror radiant with success�拭�
Cleit。 Above all things。
Soc。 It would seem then that the sculptor is called upon to incorporate
in his ideal form the workings and energies also of the soul�拭�
Paying a visit to Pistias�撮�11�А �the corselet maker�察 �when that artist
showed him some exquisite samples of his work�察�Socrates exclaimed�此�

apparently as ��Piston���察�and for the type of person see the ;Portrait of
a Tailor; by Moroni in the National Gallerysee ;Handbook�察─�Edw。

By Hera� �a pretty invention this�察 �Pistias�察 �by which you contrive that
the corselet should cover the parts of the person which need protection�察�
and at the same time leave free play to the arms and hands。 。 。 。 but tell me�察�
Pistias ��he added���察 �why do you ask a higher price for these corselets of
yours if they are not stouter or made of costlier material than the others�拭�
Because�察�Socrates ��he answered���察�mine are of much finer proportion。
