Who will find this anecdote, when Zeuxis himself doesn't have an entry? Wetman 22:45, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)~

I found it... I was looking up the famous competition between them, which has a certain currency in art theory, largely because it is discussed in Jacques Lacan's '4 Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis' (in relation to the question of the relation between desire and images)Perhpas something about Lacan's use of the story might be useful on this page? -- 16:40, 29 August 2006‎ 194.66.226.95

I always thought Zeuxis emerged as the winner of this contest but obviously I was wrong. Anyway as the story is told the following line doesn't make a lot of sense:

"Zeuxis then asked Parrhasius to pull aside the curtain from his painting."

Because if Parrhasius was the painter of the curtain then surely he would be the one to ask Zeuxis to pull the curtain from his painting not the other way round. -- 11:24, 1 May 2007‎ 134.226.32.57

Meaning is that "Zeuxis then asked Parrhasius to pull aside the curtain from Zeuxis' painting"... AnonMoos (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

" This new effect eventually led to Italian Renaissance "chiaroscuro." " States the current article. Is this, as it appears, a flight of fancy? If there is no evidence for this statement it should be deleted. AnnaComnemna (talk) 07:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
