The Royal Acquaintances Memi And Sabu

Introduction
Understanding that sculpture is the art of carving, modeling, welding, or otherwise producing figurative or abstract works of art in three dimensions, as in relief, intaglio, or in round gives us the ability to describe, compare and contrast two or more sculpture. This paper compare and contrast two sculptures known as “The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu”, and “Statue of Gudea”.

The sculptures are quite captivating with each signifying something different. As we understand that each artistic work has a meaning attached to it, these ancient works certainly portrayed what the creator or people during those days feel around their environment. The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu has two figures. This figure surely invokes the intimacy of Memi and his companion Sabu. In another word, this image shows the affection that two individuals have toward one another. Statue of Gudea is with a single figure depicted Gudea in the seated pose of a king willing to attend to his subjects. The posture and the serious look of the Gudea shows that the royal has something to important to pass to his subject or something horrifying has happened, therefore calling the attention of the royal to speak to his subjects.
Similarities of the sculptures
As found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017), Statue of Gudea’s date is ca. 2090 B.C, and that of The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu is ca. 2575-2465 B.C.

Statue of Gudea expresses dissatisfaction and strong feeling about an issue that needs to be handled with some degree of seriousness. On the contrary, The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu expresses intimacy and the affection the couples have for each
