type of Aphrodite with Eros was adapted by the Romans to represent imperial women with their infants. As you can see here, we have the “Bust of a Woman”. This fine sculpture echoes the taste that the Romans inspired to have when making portraits of women.

One that I have recently come across is a sculpture that stands in front of Cinderella’s castle in Magic Kingdom called “Partners”. The location of this piece is very important. With Disney World having such a positive atmosphere, the effect of the combination of the sculpture and its environment is immeasurable. The many symbolisms…

Botanical Gardens. Plenty of changes were made to this structure and so it resembled a glass chapel, with a minimalist style that cooperated with the white arches of the Pacific Science Center, which stood nearby. This 43-foot-high ceiling allowed the sculpture to be hung and even dropped down to 12 feet from the floor. The reason why Chihuly wanted this structure closer to the audience was so that it enabled them to fully see the glass up close and become a part of it. Furthermore, the…

We will be exploring the theme of “Childhood Dreams” through various mediums of art. Each piece in the exhibit has been chosen to represent the theme and provide a profound experience. Our personal childhood may be far from our mind, as many of us no longer have the time to think about it as we rush through our everyday lives. Perhaps some of us have forgotten our childhood dreams; or maybe some of us are living them, but have forgotten the thrill we once found in them. These works of art will…

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 bronze, and because bronze…

art in particular is the “David” sculpture. The sculpture was made between 1501 and 1504, a naked man made out of marble. This sculpture is known as the most famous statue in Florence. According to Accademia.com, the sling in the trunk were covered with gold leaf, but being outdoors in Piazza della Signoria and the elements washed it away. The sling in David’s hand was intended as a symbol of liberty for the palace. Michelangelo never let anyone see the sculpture until it was completely…

continuity of the story of David and Goliath. Four of such artists are Donatello, Verrocchio, and Michelangelo during the Renaissance period; and Bernini in the Baroque period. Each transformation of David is rendered in a distinctly different sculpture of the same subject reflecting each of the artist’s own style and time period in comparison. The inspiration of the subject matter is David; the courageous young Shepard who slew the giant Goliath with only a stone against insurmountable…

The Boettcher collection at the Colorado Governor’s Residence contains several Carrara marble sculptures. The Palm room, the Palm Dining Room, and Well room hold a large amount of marble. It is apparent that the Boettchers were fond of Neo Classical Italian works and materials. Four marble sculptures in particular stand out based on their location, size, and the intricate carving details and motifs. This paper will focus on the symbolism and materials of the two marble console tables with…
