or Kresilas
flourished 5th century BC, Athens, Greece
Greek sculptor.
He was a contemporary of Phidias . His portrait of Pericles ( 0441; 445 BC) generated a type of noble, idealized portraiture. A figure of a wounded Amazon ( 0441; 440 BC) is ascribed to him because of its resemblance to this head. Works attributed to Cresilas are known only in copies of lost bronze originals.
