  • Arion 9.3 Text Winter 2002
    Broken: The Venus de Milo AMELIA ARENAS For Trish The most celebrated statue in the world was bought in 1820 by a French official stationed in the island of Melos for about fifty dollars—and a lucky transaction it was, in more than the obvious sense. The peasant who sold it had found it among the ruins of an ancient theater which the locals were scavenging for old marble to feed to their lime furnaces. Were it not for this bargain, the lovely goddess might have met her fate as septic-tank neutralizer or whitewash. Soon after its arrival in France, the work was presented to Louis xviii, who in turn gave it to the Louvre—an excellent chance to get even with the English, one imagines, who four years earlier had snatched the greatest art treasure in the West- ern world, the sculptures of the Parthenon. And the French got their way. Since then, the Venus de Milo (fig. 1) has been the absolute emblem of classical beauty, ranking far higher in the public’s imagination than the carvings of the Parthenon, which are perhaps superior, and certainly no less beautiful. Think of the three magnificent goddesses who once adorned the tem- ple’s east pediment—faceless, ravaged figures, who still lounge on their pedestal at the British Museum with the ease of teenagers watching tv. Apparently, the world has to thank Lord Elgin for having stolen the sculptures of the Parthenon, or rather, whatever was left of them. In the late seventeenth century, the Ottoman army turned the temple into a gun-powder magazine and was even- tually blown to pieces.

  • Venus De Milo’ in 19Th-Century France
    Lathers 1 Marie Lathers Case Western Reserve University October 2003 **Not for citation or reproduction without consent of author** Venus Restored: The ‘Venus de Milo’ in 19th-Century France Normally slides would accompany this talk If they hang around long enough, works of art all become objects of restoration. I thus begin my talk with a discussion of the term restoration and its multiple meanings during the decades surrounding the French Revolution of 1789. The talk is divided into three sections: after the first, I present in “Discovery of Venus” a brief history of the Venus de Milo, a work of art brought to France in 1821 and that illustrated the several meanings of “restoration” at the time. In the third section, “Reception and Deception,” I examine the reassessment of the statue in the late 19th century, one that turned a “classical” work of the 4th century BCE into a “Hellenistic” one of the 1st to 2nd centuries BCE. In this last section I also analyze the reception of the statue by the public and, briefly, its appearance in literature. I. Restoration At least three discourses privileged the term restoration during the late 18th and early 19th centuries: that of the nascent discipline of art history; that of the equally nascent national and public art museum; and that of the political regime of 1815-30 called the Restoration. The second use of the term links the first and third: the museum is the site on which art history and politics collide and collaborate. Lathers 2 A. Art history. As Frances Haskell and Nicholas Penny note in their study Taste and the Antique, the European restoration of found works of statuary was first systematic in Italy in the 1520s and 30s.

  • Ancient Greece Geography- Sea
    ANCIENT GREECE GEOGRAPHY- SEA No one place in Greece was further than 50 miles from the sea. No navigable rivers, so use sea Greece itself was poor in resources Vital for trade with other nations, and transportation between islands. Jobs- provided source of income for Grecians. Ex. Fishers, Traders, and Pirates! GEOGRAPHY- THE LAND 3/4ths of Greece is covered in mountains. Peninsula and many islands Influenced Food: The land lacked the ability to support cattle or flocks of sheep, so they had a limited amount of meat. Main diet- fish, olives, wheat, barley, vegetables, bread, beans GEOGRAPHY- THE CLIMATE Moderate temperatures and rain only in winter Outdoor life for men Marketplace, gymnasium, theater, civil/religious celebrations CITY- STATES Because Greece is made up of many islands, and has many tall mountains, the Greeks began to build city-states instead of one country. A city-state (Polis) is a city with its own laws, rulers, and money. City-states were cities that acted like countries Examples: Athens, Sparta GOVERNMENT- CITIZENSHIP Citizenship: To be a citizen you must be: Free (not a slave) Adult Male Born in the city-state CITIZENSHIP CONT’D Slavery Virtually all job titles were slaves No money or clocks to pay and measure time worked Cheaper to force labor than to pay- when money was invented The less free people, the less input in democracy- leaving decisions up to rich men GOVERNMENT- DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY A form of government in which all citizens took part Important matters of the Polis were debated between all citizens Vote taken to decide outcome or law GOVERNMENT- DEMOCRACY Benefits: Direct democracy = Polis was ruled by assembly of all citizens Citizens had right and duty to govern Citizens had equal rights under law Citizens were responsible for justice Any citizen could bring charges against another person/citizen If a citizen saw a crime committed against a slave, the citizen could bring a charge even though slave could not.
