Ariston (painter)

Ariston was an ancient Greek painter, possibly active in the 4th century BCE. He is known primarily through mentions in classical literature, notably in Pliny the Elder's Natural History. Pliny lists him as one of the artists who excelled in depicting horses, comparing him favorably to other renowned painters of the period. However, no surviving works are definitively attributed to him, making it difficult to assess his style or artistic contributions beyond these literary references.
