Zeuxis (; Greek: Ζεῦξις) (of Heraclea) was a late 5th-century- early 4th-century BCE Greek artist famed for his ability to create images that appeared highly realistic. None of his works survive, but anecdotes about Zeuxis' art and life have been referenced often in the history and literature of art and in art theory.Much of the information and lore about Zeuxis comes from Pliny the Elder's Natural History, but his work is also discussed by Xenophon and Aristotle.
