Download or read book Greek Bronze Statuary written by Carol C. Mattusch and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freestanding bronze statuary was the primary mode of artistic expression in classical Greece, yet it was not until the nineteenth century that any original large statues of that period were unearthed. Although ancient literature has preserved information about the most famous Greek sculptors who worked in bronze, our perception of the art has been limited by the small number of extant originals from the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. there remain fewer than ten large cast bronze statues, a like number of bronze heads, an assortment of fragments, and some clay molds for casting. Carol Mattusch enriches our knowledge of this beloved but elusive art form in a comprehensive study of the style and techniques of bronze statuary during the Archaic (6th century B.C.) and Classical (5th century B.C.) periods.

Download or read book Tanagras written by Violaine Jeammet and published by Musee Du Louvre. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named for the city in Greece where they were first discovered in the 1870s, Tanagra statuettes are an elegant example of ancient Greek terra-cotta sculpture from the fourth and third centuries BC. Mainly found in tombs in this city, the small statuettes take many forms, mainly girls but also young men, children, old women, and sometimes deities. In Athens, they were also used in sacred contexts and are believed to have had a religious significance. The "tanagrean" style spread all throughout the Mediterranean basin. Today, the Louvre houses one of the world's largest and most complete collections of Tanagra figurines. This stunning exhibition catalog is the most current publication in English devoted to the Tanagras. Showcasing the Louvre's prestigious collection of figurines, Tanagras includes new research carried out by the world's leading scholars of Hellenistic art and culture. The essays examine the meaning and purpose of the statuettes in Ancient Greece and the artistic and technical skill involved in the making of such handicraft. Tanagras presents a beautiful and informed look at one of the masterly achievements of classical Greek art.

Download or read book Ebih Il written by Sophie Cluzan and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2011 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'hiver 1933-1934 voit la mission archéologique française s'installer sur le site de Tell Hariri, en Syrie. André Parrot, qui dirige l'expédition, s'attache à explorer un nouveau secteur lorsqu'il découvre deux statues. La première, représentant un souverain, porte inscrits son nom et son royaume : Mari. Une inscription sur la seconde révèle le nom et le titre d'un personnage, "Ebih-Il, intendant". Assis sur un siège de roseaux, Ebih-I1 se présente à la divinité, Istar virile, les mains contre la poitrine, le regard tendre et profond posé sur ce lointain supérieur dont l'aura l'illumine au point qu'il en esquisse un sourire d'émerveillement. La qualité de la statue indique la place exceptionnelle réservée au sein de la communauté de Mari à ce personnage, dont la fonction exacte semble à l'évidence dépasser le simple titre d'intendant. C'est ce que démontre l'étude toute récente de Sophie Cluzan et Camille Lecompte, qui offre ainsi à notre curiosité l'élucidation d'un passionnant mystère.
