Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Casts, Busts, Reliefs, and Illustrations of the School of Design and Ceramic Art: In the Museum of Art, at Melbourne Public Library At an early period the Greeks gave form to the great divinities to which they ascribed the government of the universe, also to the subordinate powers believed to superintend and direct the particular affairs of mankind. These forms were at first invested with attributes, physical and intellectual, superior to those conferred on man; next with a majesty and dignity emblematical of the Divine nature; lastly, in them was embodied the perfection of human symmetry, to which was imparted an ideal grace and beauty. Exhibited in temples, halls, and public places, or enshrined in private sanctuaries, they warmed the beholder to a sense of devotion more intelligible than could have been aroused by the mysterious relics of a barbarous antiquity. Inspired by her handmaidens, Poetry and Painting, and chastened by the enlightened criticism of successive generations, who by familiarity from infancy with such sublime works had been schooled to a correct judgment, Sculpture eventually, as it were, breathed life into the marble figure, and touched into motion the complex group. The history of Greek Sculpture may be divided into three periods: - The Dædalian. That of Pericles; or, the Heroic. That of Alexander the Great. The First ranged over several centuries, from B.C.1200 to B.C. 550. Deities and Heroes were the subjects which chiefly engaged the attention of the Sculptor. Materials used were clay, wood, stone, marble, metals of various kinds. Opening the eyes, separating the feet, liberating the arms, and extending the limbs marked the works of this age as different from those of the primitive Egyptian stiff and formal style, according to which the eyes were closed, the feet placed together, and the arms held by the sides, indicating a representation of the dead rather than of the living person. The names of some Statuaries distinguished in this era have been preserved. For what is known respecting them and the others alluded to, the reader is referred to the numerous writings upon Art, ancient and modern, collected in the Library. Amongst the Sculptors are Dædalus, the Athenian; Smilis, of Crete; Eugrammus, who, with Euchir and Diopus, followed the fortunes of Damaratus (father of Tarquin, eventually King of Rome) in his flight from Corinth to Etruria, B.C. 664, and gave a new direction to Etruscan art. Theodorus, son of Rhæcus, and brother of Telecles, to whom credit is given for the invention, B.C. 600, of casting in moulds, although as it had been practised long before by the Phœnicians, B.C. 1005, all justly due to him may be the honor of having introduced the practice into Greece.

Download or read book Redmond Barry written by Ann Galbally and published by Melbourne University Publish. This book was released on 1995 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Redmond Barry was the pre-eminent figure in Melbourne of the middle years of last century. A Supreme Court judge for thirty years, he was the founding and sustaining force behind the University of Melbourne, the Supreme Court Library, the Public Library, the National Gallery and the Museum. As social and cultural benefactor, he stands alone. Paradox pervaded his life. While seen by many as a hidebound, even villainous judge, his trust in the rule of law underpinned, for example, an unusually sympathetic and active response to the Aboriginal people. Yet fear of losing social standing and his Irish family's esteem blinkered him to injustice on his own doorstep. The story of his unacknowledged relationship of thirty years with Louisa Barrow, and of their four illegitimate children, is perplexing and often painful in the telling. This important biography is long overdue.
