Scopas

Scopas, Greek sculptor, almost rivalling Praxiteles, came of a hereditarily artistic family, and flourished in the 4th century B.C. He was born in the Isle of Paros, but very little is known of his life. He built, among many other works, the magnificent mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and his Venus was greatly admired by the ancients, who placed him very high among sculptors. He lived to a good age.
