The piece of artwork I have chosen to critique is the Lion Gate architecture found on page 39 in the textbook. The Lion Gate is the main entrance to the citadel of Mycenae. Mycenae is located on top of a small mountain. The gate is ten feet both wide and high, and narrows as it rises. The triangular shape prevents the lintel from falling in and breaking by evenly distributing weight. It was constructed of rock, gold, and clay. It is also a perfect example of a post-and-lintel arch. The top…

As soon as you walk through the gates you were no longer treated as human you no longer have bones, skin, and blood like everyone else. What is this.. is this what you call imprisonment.. no this is much worst. I could not wish this upon my worst enemy. As days as months pass the life in…

showcased their power and use of brutality which might have helped aid them in creating a strong image for Assyria and to also shed fear onto enemies of the state. The themes in Assyrian art most commonly portrayed were military battles and the killing of wild animals.
