Excerpt from Phidias
Aucun nom, dans l'histoire de l'art, n'est entouré d'un prestige aussi glorieux que celui de Phidias; il éveille l'idée de la perfection réalisée à une époque privilégiée entre toutes. Mais si nous vouons au grand sculp teuf d'athènes une sorte de respect instinctif, combien son oeuvre nous est imparfaitement connue! L'histoire de sa vie présente les plus grandes obscurités, et les rares témoignages anciens qui s'y rapportent offrent matière à discussion. Quelques descriptions et des copies plus ou moins fidèles nous renseignent seules sur ces statues où l'antiquité reconnais sait le génie d'un maître; nous recueillons dans les auteurs anciens l'expression d'une admiration qui rend notre curiosité plus exigeante.
