flourished 370-330 BC, Greece Greek sculptor. His only known surviving work, the marble Hermes Carrying the Infant Dionysus, displays delicate modeling and exquisite surface finish. A few other works survive in Roman copies. His most celebrated work was the Aphrodite of Cnidus, which Pliny the Elder considered the best statue in the world. Through Praxiteles' influence, figures were increasingly shown standing in graceful, sinuous poses, leaning lightly on some support, a pose further developed by sculptors of the Hellenistic Age. Greatest and most original of the 4th-century Attic sculptors, he profoundly influenced the later course of Greek sculpture
