Scopas

Greek sculptor and architect

395 BCE to 350 BCE

Scopas or Skopas (c. 395 BCE - 350 BCE) is an Ancient Greek sculptor and architect, born on the island of Paros.

Scopas works with Praxiteles, and he sculpts parts of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, especially the reliefs.

He leads the building of the new temple of Athena Alea at Tegea.

Similar to Lysippus, Scopas is in his art a successor of the Classical Greek sculptor Polykleitos.

The faces of the heads almost in quadrat with deeply sunken eyes and a slightly opened mouth are specific characters in the figures of Scopas.
