Academy Exhibition of 1911. Again in 1913, he exhibited a bronze version of The Kiss (RA1992) at the R A (Fig. 20). The bronze, signed Charles Vyse on the back is undated.

(1916) He refers to Charles Vyse, ‘one of the coming men of sculpture.’12 It would seem that Vyse had arrived at the…

which also lights the recesses. Some of the recesses along the side of the cathedral contain steps leading to private chapels or sculptures of saints. The crossed-ribbed vaults support the vast ceiling. Thin marble pillars give support to the cross-ribbed vaults, which rise to 110 ft. above the nave. Scattered across the complex are figures of animals depicted in sculpture, stained-glass, and on the ornamental accents on the altars, each representing a story or…

famous bronze figure that is nude between its helmet and boots, it dates to the 1430s or later. Donatello was commissioned in his early twenties to make the first David to top a cathedral in Florence. It was made of marble and was taken down soon after it was put up as it was deemed too small to be visible from the ground. The second David, made of bronze was famous as the first unsupported standing work of bronze cast during the Renaissance, and the first freestanding nude male sculpture made…

The statue, a hollow-cast bronze, is fully frontal with a ridged and stiff posture (Ridgway 1967: 46). The left foot is taking a step forward, but both feet are firmly planted on the ground. The chest is square and bulky, yet the features, such as the abdominal muscles and the pectoral…

The Seated Boxer is a bronze Hellenistic sculpture created in around 100bc. I attribute this work to the Hellenistic period of Greek art. Sculptors of this period concentrated on depicting male athletes just as what the Seated Boxer is. Emotion in Classical Greek art was merely expressed through simple gesture, a technique that contrasts with the style of Hellenistic sculpture. In Hellenistic art, advancement of skilled led to emotion being portrayed vividly through the detailed work of art.…

Guanyin and Avalokiteśvara, both bodhisattvas were exhibited in front of our class in the Trout Gallary. The comparasion between two statues gave me a great impression because they two were basically the same person but looked so differently as statues. Both of them are representations of Buddha: one aspired to help all sentient beings be free of suffering while the other tried to reach the Nivana. Even though Guanyin and Avalokitesvara differ from each other from a very large extent based on…

Michelangelo Buonarroti is a very famous sculpture known around the world, but what most people don’t know is that there are two other well-known sculpture interpretations of the biblical David by two other different artists. The two other artists are Donatello and Bernini. Each artist has a different depiction of David and his battle against Goliath and different time frames of his battle with Goliath. While these sculptures are many years apart, each sculpture shows the beginning, height, and…

Sculptures were generally subjects of Torah and Bible, Jesus Christ, Mother Mary and cherubs were depictured predominantly. But other than these, also mythological subjects were used.

One of the most crucial sculptor in the period is inarguably Lorenzo Ghilberti. Ghilberti is widely known with his rellefs made for…
