## Bio

Polykleitos worked in the 5th century BCE, ranked by ancient catalogues between Pheidias and Myron among the most important sculptors of classical antiquity. His Canon of Polykleitos set out a mathematical system for body proportions, an idealized standard that became foundational. None of his original work survives. What remains are Roman marble copies, believed to echo sculptures now lost, carrying forward a geometry he codified when stone was still being cut by hand.
