He was one of the most celebrated artists of his day and exceptional in achieving equal fame as a painter and sculptor. Only one surviving work can be associated with him on literary evidence, a headless and armless marble statue of Apollo (c.330 bc, Agora Mus., Athens), but other sculptures have been attributed to him on the basis of this. His lost works included paintings in the Stoa of Zeus in Athens and a bronze group of Philip of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great in their chariots.
