WHAT DOES RHYPAROGRAPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Peiraikos

Peiraikos, or Piraeicus, was an Ancient Greek painter of uncertain date and location. None of his work is known to have survived and he is known only from a brief discussion by the Latin author Pliny the Elder. Pliny's passage comes near the start of his discussion of painting in Book XXXV.112 of his Natural History, completed about 78 AD: It is well to add an account of the artists who won fame with the brush in painting smaller pictures. Amongst them was Peiraikos. In mastery of his art but few take rank above him, yet by his choice of a path he has perhaps marred his own success, for he followed a humble line, winning however the highest glory that it had to bring. He painted barbers' shops, cobblers' stalls, asses, eatables and similar subjects, earning for himself the name of rhyparographos. In these subjects he could give consummate pleasure, selling them for more than other artists received for their large pictures. In the terms of later art history, he painted cabinet paintings of genre subjects.
