Who was Policleto?

Polykleitos (Argo, fifth century BC - ...) was a sculptor, an ancient Greek theorist and a bronze sculptor, he was active between about 460 BC and 420 BC. He was one of the greatest figures of the classical period in Greek sculpture, upon whom relies most of the Greek sculpture of the following century. Polykleitos left a written statement in a treatise called Kanon of which only two fragments remain. In this treatise Polykleitos made systematic the mathematical ratio and proportions for the ideal human body. We decided to call our agritourism  after Polykleitos to honor this artist who devoted his entire life to beauty and harmony.
