Polyklets Knöchelwerfer
A 1920 Berlin scholarly monograph by Alfred Brueckner, published by W. de Gruyter, studying Greek funerary reliefs associated with the fifth-century sculptor Polyclitus and held in the Getty Research Institute collection. The four plates show photographed stone stelae with architectural pediments and standing nude male figures in low relief, with one small attendant figure beside a tall youth. A designer could take from them the stele form, the pedimented frame, and the restrained contrapposto poses of Greek sculpture as a classical reference.
