Apollodorus (painter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apollodorus was an Athenian painter, who flourished at the end of the 5th century B.C. He is said to have introduced great improvements in perspective and chiaroscuro. What these were it is impossible to say: perspective cannot have been in his day at an advanced stage. Among his works were Odysseus, a priest in prayer, and Ajax struck by lightning.
