Editor's Notes
- Political art in greek culture sculpture Grave monuments Represent real people but not portraits Represent ideal male beauty types no specific quilities of features of individuals Part of demos sema Style of sculpture See simular things on ionic frieze of parthenon Style and imagery seen on pathenon Represented in parts in nude wet drapery Figure at bottom less clothed cloak only around neck exposing chest marking him as vonable Cavalry man dismounted ready to strike Nudity on foe is meant to be pathetic Policitcal: athens victorious Removes details of indiviual gives understanding of generalization Athens of democracy quality of athenian citizens If citizens are All equal also all indistinguishable Ideal beauty is perfect no flaws of womenhood
- No emotion on face no sense of triumph or victory
- no emotion of what is about to happen Also in ideal form Shows how much greater athens is that they can beat such a great foe like themselfs
- Anther monument showing the same thing On road leading to agora Monument was placed even know when it was erected ;large family monument A private monument a sculpture and base was placed Placeing a scene framed in temple arch is typical but see scenes of departure or quiet contimplation Here have same motif not on a public monument but on a private one
- Inscription tells us who he is Deixileos was 20 and dies in battle at corinth in 394/393 His family comemroating his death But he died in battle would have been burried in demos sema This type of monument called= cenotaph a burrial with no body Member of elite aristocracy Fully clothed still mounted and no wet drapery Foe is completely nude and about to be trampled This is a push back againist democratic heritage Still part of public but still want to highlight his heritage and honor of our family Adopt symbolizium for own purposes
- In 4 th cen. Interactions between on greeks and near eastern cultures like persians on the other hand This is not a greek from south west part of aisa minor local ruler of territory instructed by persians Mausolus was ruling for the persians and aware of artistic currents of the greek world On the border of two cultures see this in this work Politics and tomb asst. So grand of burrial marked as one of 7 wonders of greek world Where the name mausoleum comes from In his home town in helikarnassos
- Face shows combination of trasits Incresed modling of forehead Sharp line for brow over eyes is near estern technique Approching what he may have looked like As we move from late clasical to hellenistic Can assot. With his role not part of democracy he is a ruler Doesn’t want to be same as all wants to be individualized insead of a group nature
- Have parts of lower section but vauge intruprtations above Greek sculptures to intruprate this Knew what was trendy in grek culture Heavy drapery and wraped around body in non natural fashion
- Kind of trend Alexander the great imagery asst. with him Born in 350s father phillipo the 2 nd secussful taking masidonian rule from the east Phillip dies in 336 Alex already leading troops wants to know take on persian empire Can mobilized troops of greeks and macidonian troops leads to his sucsess of taking over all of persians empire Dies at babolyn becomes ill At 32 Historical figure like no other that came before him Accoplishments on new scale Also good at manageing his image Had one sculpture whos job it was to sculpt images of him Named lysippos who did other works but also the court sculptor All simular and lots produced Protrayed as young man never really got old but idealized beauty still present Has identifyable features Has a cowlick =-= anastole How we identify alexander He is learning lessons ferom masulos of introducing idividuality
- Some furrowed brow not signs of age but signs of intensity
- Attention to wildness of hair Expression of internal energy
- Another thing he takes ffrom the east is creates coinage and puts his image on it Radical new idea In this image representing himself as a god Like at forum of augustus jupiter ammon Alex went to an ocacle Found out son of relitive of ammon and Wears rams horns on it Totally different kind of image From diexilos and albani relief too I am a great man and a HERO god like
- No life size bronzes know that they were made Only have a small copy of one Which may represent alex in Shown as other heros are shown Nude and ideal beauty as if he has taken over the world Elongated typicval of the period All preiovos works besides coin and bronze were stone and meant that they were all roman copies
- Sarcophagus of a local ruler in sidon on coast of modern lebenon Not alexanders! Scene of battle b/t greeks and persians Figure all the way to the left is on horse back identifyied as alexander
- Lion skin helmet wearing like herakles Not only related to herakles in style but also is related to him This was built about 20yrs after his death This is an original not a copy this is the closest of an image done during his life time Imagry all the same but clearly he is not the same
- Roamn art infulenced by hellenistic period Interst in hyper naturalizum Realisum see every flaw, wrinkle, and Serves there own needs The way you looked reflected how you were internally Example if lots of wrinkles your not old but wise and experienced Showing a roman wearing a toga (reserved for roman citizens) marking it as an identifyier Have no idea who it is Represents an older man beard and laugh lines, Gauntness about him loss of volume in face Remarkable inlaid eyes intense Thinking interally deeply Deeply connected with us as septator
- Style of hyper realisum is called the Veristic style Don’t smooth out nose of not show age It is intended to look like indidvidual Show characteristics that mark him as a good roman
- Life size full length bronze Specific action making a speech The arm gesture called === AD LOCUTIO Wearing a toga and military boots Eyes open addressing crowd Hem has inscription on it Has he name on it not in latin but in etruscan Found north of rome in etruscan territory But has a roman name When rome is bringing etruia Is he a etruscan acting roman or roman sent out to address etruscan Using roman style sculpture to represent himself as roman political figure and Joining etruscan and roman together
- Using veristic style refenceing other famus art Member of first triumvirate with julius Married his daughter One of the two/three players important at this time This is a portiat Nose, eyes, face, but also cowlick Making a refence spcifically to alexander the great
