Baccio Bandinelli from white marble. I viewed a sculpture of the statue, which stands a mere 19 inches high and is made from alabaster and has a polished finish. This sculpture is a full round work, even with its lack of height. Gino Ruggeri, used a subtractive method to carve the work out from a slab of alabaster, “a compact fine-textured usually white and translucent gypsum often carved into vases and ornaments” (Merriam-Webster). This sculpture was a gift to the Medici family to compare…

Displayed on Heracles at a carousal in the Greek Art book by Sieber is a pot with an amazing painting on it. This type of art tells a story which I personally think that this is usually what Greek art attempted to do. Even though the sculpture and pottery are two different things they both seem to bring a background of events…

In the Hellenistic Era of Greek Art, many sculptures featured dramatic, emotional, and theatrical sculptures. Specifically, the Winged Nike or The Nike Of Samothrace is a sculpture that represents victory and the deity Nike. The sculpture is presented on a base that is a prow of a ship with the goddess atop. The original placement was “…a hillside niche high above the theater in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods of Samothrace…” (Cothren, Stockstad). Her stance is powerful; her right leg pushed…

With all the praise Dixon gives to this sculpture and his use of linear perspective, he does speak about the architecture that Donatello shows in the Feast of Herod. The architecture in the relief, according to Dixon, “makes very little sense” and “there is no way to draw an intelligible floor plan…

different areas in Greece and many wars happened. Throughout this period, everyone that was seen as important, were recreated as sculptures and important pieces of artworks. The Greek’s used many forms of art, mainly for the sole purpose of idolising important people (Kings and Gods mostly). The most popular form of art form used in that day and age was sculptures, and this is the most common way that idolised people and gods were shown. Such as Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great,…

Golden age of India (Harle 5) for its brilliant developments in Indian art, sculpture, literature, and architecture. These advances were mostly a result of the wealth of the country during the time of the Guptas, and led to new styles in Buddhist art. As with artistic movements before the Gupta Empire Period, sculpture plays a major role as an artistic medium. The beginning of the Gupta Period saw mainly stone sculpture, but would evolve to metal materials toward the end of the empire. The…

civilizations through art, especially sculptures. In ancient Iraq, Mesopotamia, the Sumerians represented their sophisticated relationships between the people and the gods through making clay sculptures (Carr, 2016). While in ancient Egypt, the old kingdom's art was mainly represented in limestone sculptures that emphasized rituals of kings and gods, as well as the dead services of common and elite people in the society (Smith, 1941). This paper compares and contrasts the sculpture of The Royal…

Artemis, the daughter of Leto and Zeus, is a principal Greek God who spends most of her time in the forests. She hunts alongside her…

Before with classical art the focus was on making the bodies look perfect with a stoic smile, but in Hellenistic art you can see more emotion on the sculptures. Not only do the sculptures have more emotion, but also often you see sculptures performing everyday tasks. Of course, without classical art there would be no…
