THE HELLENISTIC AGE OF SCULPTURE.
Lysippos, and painter as well as sculptor, has been mentioned in connection
with it, on account of a kinship of spirit between this work and the miniature
copy of his Tyche for Antioch (p. 553).'"6 In both statues a regard for land-
scape decoration and pictorial elements is thought to prevail, and there is
evident a peculiar bravour in the treatment of the drapery. The latter feature
is scarcely to be detected in the details of the feeble Roman copy of the
Tyche, but may be traced in its general composition. Further excavations,
and light from other quarters, may, we hope, in time, give us the names of
masters of the Hellenistic age, of whom we know so little, but whose influence
we feel in works pulsating with such tremendous life as the Nike of Samo-
thrake.
