"Lysippus makes the head smaller, but at the same time gives the whole figure tall, slender proportions. And the move is devoid of refinement, everything is casual and easy, and the whole exudes a noble elegance: he is an athlete of noble birth, of refined education, of high conscience, of ready, lucid intellectuality. (Pericle Ducati)"
