Orphan date December 2010 Bularchus the earliest picture of which the ancient writers have given a description is The Battle of the Magnesians, painted by this artist, who appears to have flourished about 720 years before the Christian era, as, according to Pliny the Elder Pliny , this picture was purchased for as much gold as would cover its surface by Candaules , King of Lydia , who died about 700 years before Christ. After Bularchus we encounter a gap of upwards of two centuries and a half in the history of painting. It appears, however, that it was practised with success in the island of Rhodos Rhodes , at the time of Anacreon , who lived about 600 years before our era. That poet, in his twenty eighth and twenty ninth Ode s, mentions the practice of the art called encaustic painting , and that it was effected by mixing wax with the colours.
