Located in Room 12 and 12b in the British Museum, the Mycenaean Collection provides an amazing insight into the Greek Bronze Age, The Heroic Age, and Greek Mythology legends, especially the epics written by Homer. The collection features many artifacts of red and black painted pottery, bronzes from the Geometric Period, bronze figurines, and numerous artifacts that depict the Bronze age and how the Mycenaean people used Greek Mythology to decorate many objects and create incredible works of art…

The first artwork that I chose was Bertel Thorvaldsen’s, Ganymede and the Eagle made between the years of 1817-1829. He finally finished the sculpture in 1829 out of marble. As I said I really admire Greek and Roman art, so this was an easy pick. The dimensions of this sculpture I would say are around height wise of 35 inches and width wise about 20. I could not find the exact measurements so that is a rough estimate. DESCRIBE: The thing I first noticed about the piece was texture and detail…

Although Greek sculptures were heavily influenced by early Egyptian art, the Greeks managed to develop their own style and take the sculpture to a new level, emphasizing on anatomy and human emotion.

The group is transfixed on their tiring task to the point that they have no connection to the world around them, nor do they have notable purpose; they are slaves to their work. Additionally, the juxtaposition of archaic subject…

The sculpture in Unknown #4 depicts the upper body of a middle-aged man. That the figure shows the imperfections which come with age suggests that the sculpture is of Roman origin rather than Greek. Carved from marble, the sculpture extends to the lower chest of the man, just above the solar plexus. The chest and shoulders are soft and lightly defined: the pectoral muscles are visible only as gentle contours, and the shoulders slope downwards in fleshy smoothness. The head of the figure is…

Group by Charles Umlauf Charles Umlauf created The Family Group sculpture in 1960. The location of the sculpture is outside of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Its green color distinguishes the sculpture from the many other sculptures around the university and from the background of the business school. Much of the evidence in the paper will come from the structure and form of the sculpture. The sculpture depicts a woman leaning on her husband showing a…

Consequently, it is believed that his father may have…
