Venus of Laussel. It was fascinating to learn about each piece of art and what the story is behind each one. Archaeologist Josef Szombathy found a unique masterpiece in 1908‚ The Venus of Willendorf.

Anavysos Kouros is an Archaic Greek sculpture made c. 530 from marble with remnants of paint. The representation of his body is very stiff‚ but the individual aspects of the body parts are realistic when examined by themselves (except for the huge ankles). However‚ when looked at as a whole‚ it becomes apparent that each body part is exaggerated – long‚ curly hair; big eyes; strong‚ protruding jaw line; oversized ears; solid‚ muscular torso; similarly sized penis and scrotum; dense‚ muscular thighs;

I chose the sculpture of King Menkure and His Chief Queen. The sculpture group of King Menkure and His Queen is positioned in one of the basic types of Egyptian sculpture – the Standing/Striding pose. The figure of Menkure is rigidly frontal‚ although his head is slightly turned to the right. His left foot is slightly advanced‚ however the upper body does not respond to this uneven distribution of weight - there is no tilt in the shoulders‚ nor a shift in the hips. All movement of the figure

His body form and facial features make him look very boyish and youthful. This is specifically shown in his small waist and shorter size as a whole. It can be interpreted by the Greeks portrayal of the human figure that they were greatly influenced by the Egyptians. They were also influenced by the Egyptians burial practices‚ which is why this sculpture was used as a grave
