Alexandros of Antioch, famed for his exquisite Hellenistic realism, sculpted with a keen eye for the human form. His style, almost photographic in its accuracy, prioritized emotional depth and expressive detail, particularly in the face. Think of his most famous work, the Venus de Milo: her smooth skin, draped cloth, and idealized (yet still human) physique reflect this.
Tying his name to his style: Imagine Alex being a lexicon of andros (Greek for "man") - his art perfectly captures the essence of humanity, recording every detail with almost dictionary-like precision. He gave us a realistic lens into andros and andro, and alex is his lens.
