Zeuxis

zook'sis (460-355 B. C.), a Grecian painter. His principal paintings related to the Trojan war and are known only by description. His picture of A Boy With-Grapes is said to have deceived the birds who came to pick. But Zeuxis shook his head with the remark, "Had the boy been painted as well as the grapes the birds would have been afraid to come near them."
