Lysippos (; ) was a
Greek sculptor of the 4th century BC. Together with
Scopas and
Praxiteles, he is considered one of the three greatest sculptors of the
Classical Greek era, bringing transition into the
Hellenistic period. Problems confront the study of Lysippos because of the difficulty of identifying his style amongst the copies which survive. Not only did he have a large workshop and a large number of disciples in his immediate circle, but there is understood to have been a market for replicas of his work, supplied from outside his circle, both in his lifetime and later in the
Hellenistic and
Roman periods. The
Victorious Youth or Getty bronze, which resurfaced around 1972, has been associated with him.
