The document discusses ancient Egyptian art and the pyramids. It describes how the pyramids were massive white structures against the desert backdrop, but their purpose is unknown. Each pyramid was built on an almost perfectly square base to suggest solidity and permanence rather than height. Egyptians mummified their pharaohs and included stone sculptures as substitutes for the body, believing the soul would inhabit these if the real body was destroyed. Wall paintings and reliefs in tombs also served as substitutes and aimed to clearly show all parts of the body. Hieroglyphics on tomb paintings helped tell stories through symbolic picture writing arranged in patterns.

Ancient Roman Art 1.1

Jerry Daperro

While Greek statuary was created to represent idealized human forms of athletes and gods, Ancient Roman sculpture represented real, ordinary people with their natural beauty and imperfections. The main purpose of the statuary was to immortalize, though many Greek and Roman statues were originally painted with bright colors which over the centuries lost the pigment. Greek sculptors derived the facial features from the idealized inner and intellectual characteristics, whereas the Romans inferred the personality from the physical features. As a very representative example, I suggest observing any bust of Vespasian, Roman Emperor depicted with each feature without any glorification. When comparing the statuary of the two great civilizations we can notice another significant difference. The traditions of the Roman Republic equate the nudity represented by the Greek sculpture as a dishonorable impudicity, more in favor of an iconography that represents the republican values of the citizenship.

Ancient Greek Sculpture 2.0

Jerry Daperro

I remember well of my visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. I stood in front of one of the Kouros (Archaic Youth) statue, feeling a bit small when confronted with thousands of years of history before me. I was captivated by his mesmerising and charming smile. I could see that the statue can be quite easily mistaken as a real person. I never quite understand what really drove the Greek to create these wonderful sculptures. They were simply thousands of year ahead of other civilisations, in sculpture. This Powerpoint slideshow presentation briefly sketches the development of sculpture in ancient Greece, from its humble beginning in the Greek islands to its zenith in the Hellenistic age. It maps out the milestones and advances made in stages, with the help of images of Greek masterpieces, like the Sulky Kore, the Kritios Boy, the Artemision Bronze, the Riace Bronzes etc. The Ancient Greece is unique amongst the ancient civilizations to develop such very level high of naturalism, with its expressive and life-like sculptures. According to some art historians they were driven largely by the spirit rooted in the belief that man is a free, indeed an exalted, being or simply their idea and love of beauty.

Ancient greek sculpture

Kostas Tampakis

This document provides a summary of ancient Greek sculpture from 2500 BCE to 146 BCE. It describes the evolution from early Cycladic sculptures to the naturalism and realism of later Classical and Hellenistic works. Key developments included a shift from stiff archaic poses to more lifelike styles in the 5th century BCE, the emergence of bronze casting, and increasing attention to detail, emotion, and idealized forms under Hellenistic influence. Major artists such as Praxiteles, Lysippus, and the sculptors of the Laocoön group pushed sculpture to new levels of technical skill and expressiveness.
