  • THE APOXYOMENOS of LYSIPPUS. in the Hellenic Journal for 1903
    THE APOXYOMENOS OF LYSIPPUS. IN the Hellenic Journal for 1903, while publishing some heads of Apollo, I took occasion to express my doubts as to the expediency of hereafter taking the Apoxyomenos as the norm of the works of Lysippus. These views, how- ever, were not expressed in any detail, and occurring at the end of a paper devoted to other matters, have not attracted much attention from archaeolo- gists. The subject is of great importance, since if my contention be justified, much of the history of Greek sculpture in the fourth century will have to be reconsidered. Being still convinced of the justice of the view which I took two years ago, I feel bound to bring it forward in more detail and with a fuller statement of reasons. Our knowledge of many of the sculptors of the fourth century, Praxiteles, Scopas, Bryaxis, Timotheus, and others, has been enormously enlarged during the last thirty years through our discovery of works proved by documentary evidence to have been either actually executed by them, or at least made under their direction. But in the case of Lysippus no such discovery was made until the very important identification of the Agias at Delphi as a copy of a statue by this master. Hitherto we had been content to take the Apoxyomenos as the best indication of Lysippic style ; and apparently few archaeologists realized how slender was the evidence on which its assignment to Lysippus was based. That assignment took place many years ago, when archaeological method was lax ; and it has not been subjected to sufficiently searching criticism.

  • Focus on Greek Sculpture
    Focus on Greek Sculpture Notes for teachers Greek sculpture at the Ashmolean • The classical world was full of large high quality statues of bronze and marble that honoured gods, heroes, rulers, military leaders and ordinary people. The Ashmolean’s cast collection, one of the best- preserved collections of casts of Greek and Roman sculpture in the UK, contains some 900 plaster casts of statues, reliefs and architectural sculptures. It is particularly strong in classical sculpture but also includes important Hellenistic and Roman material. Cast collections provided exemplary models for students in art academies to learn to draw and were used for teaching classical archaeology. • Many of the historical casts, some dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, are in better condition than the acid rain-damaged originals from which they were moulded. They are exact plaster replicas made, with piece moulds that leave distinctive seams on the surface of the cast. • The thematic arrangement of the Cast Gallery presents the contexts in which statues were used in antiquity; sanctuaries, tombs and public spaces.

    LYSIPPOS AND A NEW CANON Curated by Anna Mattedi The great Late Classical sculptor Lysippos, was so renowned that Alexander the Great selected him to create his official portrait; Lysippos introduced a new canon of proportions: the body were more slender than those of Polykleitos, the heads 1/8 the height of the body; Alexander the Great. Copy after a statue by Lysippos, ca. 330 BC. Glyptotek Munich The new proportions may be seen in one of Lysippos ’s most famous works, a bronze statue of an apoxyomenos (an athlete scraping oil from his body after exercising), known from Roman copies in marble APOXYOMENOS, LYSIPPOS Lysippos, Scraper. Roman marble copy after a bronze original of 330 BC. Vatican Museums, Rome. A nervous energy runs through the Apoxyomenos that one seeks in vain in the balanced form of the Doryphoros; The strigil (scraper) is about to reach the end of the right arm, and at any moment the athelete will switch it to the other hand so that he can scrape his left arm; At the same time he will shift his weight and reverse the position of his legs; Lysippos also began to break down the dominance of the frontal view and encouraged the observer to look at his athlete from multiple angles; Because Lysippos represented the Apoxyomenos with his right arm boldly thrust forward, the figure breaks out of the rectangular box that defined the boundaries of earlier statues; To comprehend the action, the observer must move to the side and view Lysippos ’s work at a three-quarter angle or in full profile; THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD The

An Approach to Structural Supports in Roman Marble Statuary Anna Anguissola Introduction In 1933, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the purchase of a Roman marble copy of the Diadoumenos of Polykleitos, a work that counted among the most highly considered masterpieces of antiquity (Fig. 1). Dating varies from the Flavian to the Antonine age, but the statue should probably be assigned to the last quarter of the first century A.D. (Richter 1935 and 1954: 30–32 no. 38; Kreikenbom 1990: 188 no. V.2). Unfortunately, the fillet-binder was in a much poorer state of preservation than what we see today.
