Apelles

Apelles dari Kos (/əˈpɛliːz/; bahasa Yunani: Ἀπελλῆς; hidup pada abad ke-4 SM) adalah seorang pelukis Yunani kuno terkenal. Pliny the Elder memberikan banyak pengetahuan soal seniman tersebut kepada para cendekiawan modern. Ia menanggalkan Apelles dengan Olympiad ke-112 (332–329 SM), diyakini karena ia membuat sebuah potret Aleksander Agung.^[1]

"But it was Apelles of Cos, in the hundred and twelfth Olympiad, who surpassed all the other painters who either preceded or succeeded him. Single-handed, he contributed more to painting than all the others together, and even went so far as to publish some treatises on the principles of the art."
