The two statues that I chose are from the Hellenistic period of Greek art. During the Hellenistic period of Greek art. Many artist were inspired by the artistic styles from the past. Artist of the Hellenistic period didn't focus so much on the intellectual and rational side of art like that of the classical period. Instead they focused more on fantasy and dream state of the subject. This often caused the art to have somewhat of a sexual overtone to them.
The male statue that I have is a terracotta statuette of the Diadeumenous ( you that is tying a fillet around his head.). From the Hellenistic period during the 1st century B.C.It is a copy of a Greek Bronze Statue of ca.430 B.C by Polykleitos. Although the statuette has no arms or legs.
