He became most famous for his paintings in encaustic, which art he had learned from Pamphilus, and he was the first to use this method in the decoration of walls and ceil- ings. Art in his hands made great techni- cal progress, especially in the modelling of objects through skilfully treated light and shadow. This was most conspicuous in his picture of a Sacrifice, preserved in the por- tico of Pompey at Rome. The victim, a black ox, was so admirably foreshortened that, though standing with his head to the spectator, his length seemed to be measur- able ; and the shadow of the animal falling on a group of people in a strong light caused both to appear to stand out from the pict- ure. Another famous picture of his was the portrait of Glycera, a flower-girl, for a copy of which L. Lucullus paid two talents. Pliny says (xxxv. 40 [123]) that Pausias painted many small pictures, chiefly miniatures of children. Pausauias (ii. 27, 3) mentions two paintings by Pausias, in the Tholus at Epidaurus, the one representing Love, the other Drunkenness.
