selected is “Statue of a Lion” and has the accession number AO 19520‚ AO 19824. "Statue of a Lion” originated from Mari; however‚ it is currently housed in The Louvre. Showcased in the piece I have chosen are characteristics that aid classifying this object as a 2nd millennium B.C. Mesopotamian art. Characteristics that support its classification are the physical features‚ purpose‚ and comparanda works. Damaged artifacts can appear to have diminutive value‚ this mind frame is obsolete. “Statue of a Lion”

When approaching gallery 166 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ I couldn’t help but notice the magnificent sculpture of the “Bronze statue of Camillus (acolyte).” As I began to study some background information on the early Imperial period of Roman culture‚ one would learn that there was an evident revival. The Romans were building at a fast pace and religious sacrifices were becoming more common. Throughout this Roman period‚ a Camillus (male) or Camilla (female) was the freeborn child of the religious

art has been either destroyed and repurposed to create new art‚ or for war ammunition. The purpose of this essay is to show the link between the repurposing bronze statues and schools cutting art and design programs from schools‚ as well as the drastic consequences of doing so. In ancient Greece‚ it was very common to have bronze statues melted down to create ammunition for war or other weapons. Due to this there are pieces of history that are lost forever. Even today there are techniques and works

GEOFFREY SCOTT AND ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM 2 3 Introduction In Geoffrey Scott’s book The Architecture of Humanism (1914) formulates a series of arguments against a number of theoretical positions. Scott identifies these theoretical positions as fallacies underlying architectural theory which is not proper to architecture. The four types of fallacy he distinguishes are the ‘Romantic Fallacy’‚ the ‘Mechanical Fallacy’‚ the ‘Ethical Fallacy’ and the ‘Biological Fallacy’. This paper is to

Society is a glass statue hanging on the edge of a cliff. It is only held on by thin strings that keep it from crashing. If one string was cut‚ society would slip and crack. These crucial strings are held tightly in place by an anchor. That anchor is respect. If respect were uprooted all the strings would fail and the glass statue would topple and shatter on the ground. A bad society is one without respect. Without respect people would do whatever they wanted because they would not care if

The statue of David produced by Michelangelo represented the republican status of Florence at the time. In this example of David‚ he is represented as an older man with the physique of one with a muscular body and a composure from head to toe that easily emits confidence and mystery.

Key characteristics done by Donatello here allow us to assume David is represented as someone much younger

beliefs. During the Paleolithic and Neolithic era studies suggest humans began to progressively engage in religious behavior. Venus figurines are small statues of woman and they have been referred to as the “mother of goddess”. This indicates an immense possibility that women were worshipped or at the least highly admired. Some would say that these statues represent actual women. On the contrary‚ there are rarely any paintings found dating back to this time of humans‚ besides human hands. Would an entire
