Anaxandra (Greek: Ἀναξάνδρα; fl. 220s BC) was an ancient Greek female artist and painter from Greece.[1] She was the daughter and student of Nealkes, a painter of mythological and genre scenes.[2] She painted c. 228 B.C.[3] She is mentioned by Clement of Alexandria, the 2nd century Christian theologian, in a section of his Stromateis (Miscellanies) entitled "Women as Well as Men Capable of Perfection". Clement cites a lost work of the Hellenistic scholar Didymus Chalcenterus (1st century BC) as his source.[4]
