"Der Bildhauer (Phidias)" is a notable sculpture by the prominent German artist Johann Gottfried Schadow, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. Schadow, widely recognized for his neoclassical sculptures and as a leading figure in the Prussian school of sculpture, crafted this work as a homage to the ancient Greek sculptor Phidias, who is often regarded as one of the greatest classical sculptors of all time.

The sculpture "Der Bildhauer (Phidias)" depicts the ancient master in the act of sculpting, capturing the essence of artistic creation and the classical tradition that Schadow himself was deeply influenced by. Phidias was known for his colossal statues of deities, most notably the statue of Zeus at Olympia and the statue of Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon, both considered wonders of the ancient world. Schadow's representation of Phidias serves not only as a tribute to the ancient artist but also as a reflection of Schadow's own aspirations and the neoclassical ideals of his era.

Johann Gottfried Schadow's work is characterized by its attention to detail, harmonious proportions, and the ability to convey movement and emotion through marble and bronze. "Der Bildhauer (Phidias)" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Schadow's skill in translating the grandeur of classical art into the context of his contemporary world. The sculpture is significant in the study of neoclassical art and provides insight into the artistic reverence for antiquity that pervaded European art at the turn of the 19th century.

As a testament to Schadow's influence and the importance of "Der Bildhauer (Phidias)" in the history of art, the sculpture is often discussed in the context of Schadow's other major works, such as the Quadriga atop the Brandenburg Gate and the statues of the princesses Luise and Friederike. The piece remains an enduring symbol of the neoclassical movement and Schadow's enduring legacy as a master sculptor.
