THEODORICH OF PRAGUE, or Meister
Dietrich, flourished in Prague during
the reign of the Emperor Charles IV. (1348-78),
as one of his court painters. German
school. Probably of Czech rather than German
origin, judging from the pictures attributed
to him, which are of a Bohemian type.
His name is mentioned as master of the guild
as early as 1348, and again in a document of
1367. He evidently had a long and influential
career, and may be considered as one
of the founders of the school of Prague.
Works: St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, Vienna
Museum; series of one hundred and
twenty-five half-length figures of Saints,
Apostles, etc., Chapel of Karlstein, near
Prague; two half-length Saints, University
Library, Prague.—Kugler (Crowe), i. 38;

THEODORUS, painter, of Samos or
Ephesus (?). Mentioned by Theophanes in

one as mentioned by Polemo and the other
by Menodotus as of Athens.—Sillig, 439.
THEODORUS, painter, of Samos, pupil
of Nicosthenes, mentioned by Pliny (xxxv.
40 [146]) as of some reputation.—Sillig,

century B.C. Mentioned in a comedy by

the Lares at play on an altar.—Nævius, in

THEOMNESTUS, Greek painter, 4th
century B.C. Pliny says (xxxv. 36 [107])
that Mnason, tyrant of Elatea, paid twenty
minæ apiece for his pictures of the heroes.—Brunn,
ii. 256.
THEON (Theorus, Theodorus), painter,
about 360 B.C. Pliny mentions (xxxv. 40

himself; Murder of Ægisthus and Clytemnestra
by Orestes; Cassandra, in the Temple
of Concord, Rome; Leontium, Mistress
of Epicurus, in Meditation; King Demetrius;
and a series of pictures of the Trojan
War, in the Portico of Philippus at Rome.
