POLYGNOTUS

Meaning of POLYGNOTUS in English

or Polygnotos

born 0441; 500, Thasos, Thrace

died 0441; 440 BC, Athens, Greece

Greek painter.

None of his works are extant, but accounts exist of monumental wall paintings in a severely Classical style at the hall of the Cnidians at Delphi: Sack of Troy and Ulysses Visiting Hades . His compositions were noted for the expression of emotion on faces and for the distribution of figures throughout the composition rather than on a single base line, as was the convention of the day.
