He worked towards the end of the 5th century and at the beginning of the 4th century BC. Today, his artistic works have only survived in the form of written descriptions of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-known story from Zeuxis&#8217; life is about a competition between him and another prominent painter of his time, Parrhasius. The competition was to determine who was the &#8220;better&#8221; painter &#8211; which in this case meant who could paint more realistically. For this competition, Zeuxis painted a depiction of grapes that looked so lifelike that birds flew in to peck at them. In contrast, Parrhasius painted a curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image: Zeuxis and his painting of grapes and birds pecking, by Johann Georg Hiltensperger, 1842<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Image: Zeuxis and his painting of grapes and birds pecking, by Johann Georg Hiltensperger, 1842<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2-1024x761.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33224 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2-1024x761.webp 1024w, https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2-300x223.webp 300w, https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2-768x571.webp 768w, https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2-600x446.webp 600w, https:\/\/xeuxis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/zeuxis-parrhasius-2.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the birds are deceived by Zeuxis&#8217; painted grapes, Zeuxis himself succumbs to the illusion created by his competitor: He tries to pull aside the painted curtain to look at the supposed painting of Parrhasius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scene is also depicted here in this copperplate engraving by Joachim Sandrart.
