Doryphoros

is not strong. The statue seems very muscular in his legs, even though he is a bit older on top. Arguably, being a man of having power to rule, then there was a time where he needed strength to rule as well. Finally, with the combination of having strength and power, the statue must have had authority due to him being a leader. The fact that is arm is in the air; which signify authority, and it seem as if he is ready to tell something to the crowd. The view and understanding of this statue reminds me of the statue of Augustus of Primaporta and Doryphoros (Spear Bearer). The Doryphoros (Spear Bearer) Look similar to the image that was given due to the slight stiffness of their (both image) pose. Both image have an unrealistic leg. Their legs were made with concrete perfection. Even though the two statue seem to be looking in different direction, but the neck is in a stiff position. Their body articulations seem alike, but the Doryphoros is a lot younger looking. Both figures express full nude body proportion. Another comparison can be the statue of Augustus of Primaporta. Looking carefully at both statue, you can see vividly the idealism of the two statues. Their facial feature looks well put together. Even though Augustus look a lot younger, but the carving of Augustus nose and ears are a lot similar to the other image. The facial hair and wrinkle on his face show aging. Looking closely at their hands, both the right and left hand are in a similar pose or…

Polykleitos is well known for his artwork sculpture – Doryphoros. Doryphoros was a bronze artwork (that has been lost) but the Roman rework made from marble with a chisel is 2.12m in height. Doryphoros, meaning “spear-bearer” is an example of contrapposto – the relaxed balanced stature stance seen in Doryphoros with one foot in front and one back, making it seem relaxed to the responder. The world and audience in which Polykleitos lived in vastly influenced his artwork as seen in how it is…

The High and Late classical art styles do have differences from one another but they also have similarities. During the High classical period sculptures were created based on achieving perfect symmetry and the “perfect” human body. One of the most famous statues that show us an example of the High Classical art is the Doryphoros. This statue was created by the Polykleitos who was trying to portray the perfect man. “His aim was to impose order on human movement to make it “beautiful” to “perfect”…

Regardless of nearly 2000 years separating the creation of Polykleitos’s Doryphoros and Donatello’s David, the two sculptures share astonishingly similar features, yet both remain true to the stylistic characteristics of each respective time periods. The artists incorporated both predictable and cutting edge ideas in their work. Doryphoros, also known as the Spear Bearer, is a marble remake of Polykleitos’s original bronze sculpture circa 450 - 440 BCE. Most ancient Greek statues were made of…

Although the statue of Augustus of Primaporta and the statue of Doryphoros bear some minor differences, the similarities between the two statues are remarkable. To the naked untrained eye these two statues might even be mistaken from the same culture. However, the statue of Augustus is from Roman culture and the statue of Doryphoros is from ancient Greek culture. These two works of art seem very similar because Roman art and culture borrowed many ideas from the Greeks and sculpting is just one…

white-ground technique along with the use of perspective, such as in Warrior by a Grace, the depiction of human figures in naturalistic poses and organic forms in sculpture, as seen in Polykleitos' Doryphoros, and by the incredibly detailed and strong architecture of columnar structures such as the Parthenon in Athens; additionally, the sense of harmony evoked by works produced during this time period, and the influence of Classical Greek style on the art and culture that followed it define its…

In this paper, I am going to talk about the statue of Pharaoh Tanwetamani who is a Nubian king of the 25th dynasty. He is the person who is actually not an Egyptian but had ruled the Nile valley temporarily. Therefore, he was allowed to possess the Egyptian royal title as well as the sculptured style. I am going to compare this statue with both the works of same culture, such as Khafre, and the works of different culture, for instance, Kroisos and the Doryphoros. The Statue of Pharaoh…

Classical Greek was an important period. There were many creative and architectural advances that happened in Athens. Greek sculptures and architectect had abstract characteristics and reflected ideas of humanism and rationalism. One of the most significant architectural piece of Greek culture is the Parthenon. The Parthenon was created by Iktinos and Kallikrates in 440 BCE. The building was created with columns and was symmetrical. The Parthenon was smaller than former civilizations…

underlying structure, but through the outward appearance as well. The sculpture is harmonious because it is reflective of the true nature of the human body, and how that body naturally moves. Furthermore, the Kritios Boy is representative of the Greek ideals because of the increased attention to anatomical detail, and its accuracy to that framework. The development of the Early Classical style into what would become the Classical style, is the increased attention to portraying figures in a…
