Few tales of artistic triumph can rival the story of Zeuxis. As firstreported by Cicero and Pliny, the painter Zeuxis set out to portrayHelen of Troy, but when he realized that a single model could not matchHelen's beauty, he combined the best features of five different models.A primer on mimesis in art making, the Zeuxis myth also illustratesambivalence about the ability to rely on nature as a model for idealform.
