Two Sample Notes on Lady of Auxerre: One Done Correctly, One Not! Can You Tell? Two sample notes on Lady of Auxerre: one done correctly, one not! Can you tell? Ms. Sweeney Period 1 Lady of Auxerre Recent History • discovered in museum storeroom • in Auxerre, central France • early 20th century • currently in the Louvre Origin • Probably from island of Crete o based on limestone it’s made from • Renewal of stone sculpture in Greece in 7th century • Similar to other funerary statues found on Crete o often Archaic sculpture made as funerary sculpture = sculpture used to mark graves o probably placed on a necropolis = ancient cemetery Influences • Looks Egyptian – important source; not naturalistic as later periods • Also see influence of ancient Near Eastern culture o E.g., geometric patterns in sKirt & hair A Closer Look • Only about 2 feet tall • Not naturalistic o Elongated legs & fingers o Disproportion of head to torso and legs • While face is damaged, can recognize sculpture’s Archaic smile o Mouth has slight upturned corners o Appears on faces of most Archaic sculptures § Not only people, but animals as well o Usually found in pieces dating prior to 5th century o Suggests that subject was alive and has a sense of well-being • Use of geometric forms o Series of symbolic forms that represent the hand o Hair bundled up in squares, perhaps braids • Probably once brightly painted • Arms somewhat separated from body o unlike ancient Egyptian art where arms are wedded to body with stone in between • Not proportional: does not correspond in size to a typical body (head, torso, legs don’t match) • While arms are separated, legs are blocK of limestone and not separated at all o A first step towards GreeK sculpture in coming centuries o Sculpture in-the-round = a free-standing sculpture not attached to a flat background o Fully carved from front to bacK Heidi S. Docent project [Oops! Forget to include the title of my notes – and my last name and period.] • It’s in the Louvre [I should probably say what the Louvre is for those who don’t know, but I don’t Know myself, and I’m not going to bother to look it up. …] • 2 feet tall sculpture • It was discovered in a storeroom in a museum in Auxerre, France, in the 20th century. • Probably made on island of Crete based on limestone it’s made from • Its [Am still having trouble with knowing when to write its and when to write it’s -- or is it that I just don’t care. …] similar to other funerary statues found on Crete; it was probably placed in a necropolis. [I should define necropolis, but I’m not going to bother. ... I wonder if it’s any relation to polis?] • Looks Egyptian – an important source; not naturalistic as later periods. • We see the influence of ancient Near Eastern culture in terms of geometric patterns in skirt and hair. [I’m not focused on what are main points and supporting details. This is becoming just a list of facts. …] • Not naturalistic, but geometric forms [Yeah, I know, I’m being redundant – I wrote this already. …] • Series of symbolic forms that represent the hand. • Renewal of stone sculpture in Greece in 7th century [This is Kind of vague. If I use it in my presentation, I won’t really know what I’m referring to. …] • Elongated legs and fingers • Jumble of proportion of head to torso to legs [These notes are also becoming a jumble. I’m sKipping around too much. …] • Hair is bundled up in wonderful squares, could be braids • The arms are somewhat seperated from the body, unliKe in ancient Egyptian art where arms are wedded to body with stone in between [I didn’t proofread nor did I use spellcheck. As a result, Ms. Sweeney will sigh when she corrects my spelling of separated.] • Legs are blocK of limestone and not separated at all • A first step towards GreeK sculpture [I really should have used headings in my notes. It’s going to be hard to find what I’m looKing for when I present.] • A lot of Archaic sculpture was made as funerary sculpture [Should probably define “funerary” as well. Someone’s bound to asK what it means. …] • Geometric patterns were probably brightly painted at one point. [Have I written enough sentences on my topic yet? Oops, forgot. … Sentences are frowned upon in notes. …] .

  • Geometric & Archaic Greek
    GEOMETRIC & ARCHAIC GREEK GEOMETRIC & ARCHAIC GREECE Ancient Greek Art Can be classified into the following categories: Geometric Period ca. 900-700 B.C.E. Orientalizing Period ca. 725-600 B.C.E. Archaic Period ca. 625-480 B.C.E. --- Greeks defeat Persians 480-479 BCE --- Early Classical Period ca. 480-450 B.C.E. High Classical Period ca. 450-400 B.C.E. Late Classical Period ca. 400-330 B.C.E. Hellenistic Period ca. 330-31 B.C.E. GEOMETRIC & ARCHAIC GREECE Ancient Greek Art Mesopotamian = Worship Egyptian = Afterlife Greek = Humanism GEOMETRIC & ARCHAIC GREECE The Geometric Period The beginning of Greek art is found in painted pottery and small scale sculpture. Artists established different categories of shapes of ceramic vessels- most important was the amphora - two- handled vase used to carry wine and oil Around 800 BC, pottery began to move away from purely non-objective designs - ornamental figures. Dipylon Vase was a grave monument - bottom has holes through which liquid offerings filtered down to the dead below- done in remembrance rather than to appease the soul of the dead. Geometric Krater from the Dyplon Cemetery Athens, Greece, ca. 740 BC GEOMETRIC & ARCHAIC GREECE The Geometric Period The vase functions as a grave marker depicting the funeral procession of an obviously well respected individual. The magnitude of his funeral procession speaks to the wealth and position of the deceased family in the community. Contains no reference to an afterlife The nature of the ornamentation of these early works has led art historians to designate these as GEOMETRIC. (all empty spaces are filled with circles and M-shaped ornament.

  • Ancient Greek Sculpture in the Classical Period
    From Realism to Idealism: Ancient Greek Sculpture in the Classical Period York H. Gunther and Sumetanee Bagna- Dulyachinda Introduction Art enables us to look into the soul of a civilisation. It is among humankind’s earliest inventions, existing “long before a single farm was planted, before the first villages were built,”1 giving us clues to forgotten lives and cultures. Of the various kinds of artworks, sculptures standout. Their construction from durable materials often facilitates their survival for millennia rather than centuries or decades. Their three-dimensionality allows them to be approached from multiple angles, distances and viewing conditions. And especially in the case of human sculptures, their corporeality invites not only the gaze but also the touch of a viewer drawn to a distant past. While the oldest human carvings date back tens of thousands of years, it is with the Ancient Greeks that sculptures of the human form reach a pinnacle of detail, craftsmanship and authenticity that has dominated the Western world for generations and that continues to serve as a standard for how art is produced, experienced and judged. This pinnacle, however, did not arise ex nihilo. It steadily developed through the Archaic (c750-508BCE) and the Classical Periods (c508-323BCE). In this initial article, we focus on the developments in the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, outlining the gradual attainment of realism in human sculpture, and its rapid abandonment for idealism within a generation. In the subsequent sections of this article we consider two explanations. The first is York H. Gunther is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Program Director of the Humanities at Mahidol University International College, Thailand.

Donohue Frontmatter More information GREEK SCULPTURE AND THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIPTION This book explores the role of description in the interpretation of ancient Greek statuary. Although scholars have emphasized the importance of separating ob- jective evaluation of evidence from interpretation, in practice the distinction is problematic. Even at the level of observation and vocabulary, the scholarship on Greek sculpture has been molded by concepts and convictions that impose par- ticular interpretations on the material. This study examines the scholarship from the eighteenth century through the present on a select number of well-known Greek statues. The impact of the historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts that produced this specialized scholarship is demonstrated through considerations of issues such as ethnicity, psychology, theories about artistic form, and evolving conceptions of nude and clothed figures. A. A. Donohue is professor of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College. She is the author of Xoana and the Origins of Greek Sculpture and has contributed articles on the history and historiography of classical art to the American Journal of Archaeology, Arch¨aologischer Anzeiger, and Hephaistos. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-84084-2 - Greek Sculpture and the Problem of Description A.
