II. The Mantinean Basis

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

As Overbeck in the fourth edition of his Geschichte der Plastik has recanted his doubts as to the period and authenticity of the sculptures of the Basis of Mantineia, it is fair to regard them as undoubted works of about B.C. 370, and as coming at all events from the workshop of the master whose statues stood above them. Thus the discovery of this basis must be regarded as a very fortunate addition to our sources of knowledge, both of the art of Praxiteles, and of the types of the Muses in the fourth century. Fig. 3 gives these slabs in what I hold to be the true arrangement.
