Figurine

a bullfighter is implanted into Venus de Milo figurines. Dali put a lot of work into this painting as with a lot of his other works, but this one especially is very unique in part due the sheer amount of detail he managed to put into it. The subject matter is primarily composed of Greek elements, and Spanish elements, but let’s focus on the Greek aspect first. The most obvious Greek inspired element that the viewer sees is the Venus Del Mio figurines. The “Venus de Milo, ancient statue commonly…

have chosen is the Figurine of the Goddess Wadjet exhibited in the LACMA Museum. My first glance at this figurine instantly caught my eye because of the movement of this piece and in class we have talked about how the egyptians were attempting to create work of arts with movement.

Also, both of these objects measure similar height. The Woman from Willendorf measures 11 cm while the “venus” figurines measure 15 cm. The small size indicates the object…

refers to as the idea of “blurring of boundaries.” Heyob’s specific examples refer to a small bronze group of statues that depict both Venus and Cupid, which were found in the Egyptian Faiyum, a city in Middle Egypt. This group of figurines, in particular the figurine depicted in figure 3, displays a standing deity resembling the goddess Venus. This conclusion can be drawn due to the fact that there is a small winged figure, which is her son Cupid, seated on her right shoulder. In figure 3,…
