Boatwright ___________________________ Caroline A. Bruzelius ___________________________ Richard J.

Like many other naked Aphrodites, the Anadyomene was not posed to conceal the body, but with arms raised, naked and unashamed, exposing the goddess’ body to the gaze. Depictions of the Aphrodite Anadyomene present the female body as an object to be desired. The Anadyomene offers none of the complicated games of peek-a- boo which pudica Venuses play by shielding their bodies from view. Instead, the goddess offers her body to the viewer’s gaze and there is no doubt that we, as viewers, are meant to look, and that our looking should produce desire.

  • Phryne in Modern Art, Cinema and Cartoon by Eleonora Cavallini The
    Phryne in Modern Art, Cinema and Cartoon by Eleonora Cavallini The biographical data antiquity has bequeathed to us about Phryne, the 4th century b.C. Greek courtesan, is so romanced (and romanticized) as to make things very difficult for modern scholars who try to separate reality from fiction with a degree of accuracy. However, I think raising doubts about the historical authenticity of this fascinating yet disquieting female figure would be excessive. Similarly, the scepticism some scholars recently expressed about traditional data, such as Phryne’s famous trial, seems to be too radical.(1)A careful evaluation of the sources is of course mandatory, especially if one considers that these (except for the comic poets Timocles, Amphis and Poseidippus, whom we will discuss later) (2)mostly date from the 1st to the 4th century A.D. -therefore, not only were they written at a much later date than the events they narrate, but they also presumably reflect a penchant for anecdotal and sensational stories that was common among erudite authors of the Hellenistic-Roman period. In fact, when examining ancient documents about Phryne, one gets the impression that the first forger of her ‘myth’ was not a biographer nor a poet, but the woman herself, with her skilful use of provocative statements that were bound to cause a sensation, especially among conformists, as well as a series of carefully contrived, spectacular public appearances. Moreover, the sources emphasize Phryne’s tendency to ‘celebrate’ her own beauty by having expensive images of herself

  • “Ask Iris Love”: Cnidus, Aphrodite and Unorthodox Archeology
    Meghan Lacey _____________________________________________________________________________________ “Ask Iris Love”: Cnidus, Aphrodite and Unorthodox Archeology Art and Design Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Dorothy Joiner Abstract The existence of Praxiteles’ sculpture of the Aphrodite of Cnidus has long been regarded within the academic community as an unsolved mystery with many layers left to uncover. For many centuries, only the Roman copies of the sculpture could be referred to in order to comprehend the original stance and figure of Praxiteles’ Aphrodite, which was believed to have been completed in the fourth century B.C. Unfortunately, the remaining copies are believed to be from the late second century A.D. and therefore cannot be counted as reliable evidence to verify the authenticity of the rendition of Praxiteles’ original statue. The span of time between these periods may be too long to be sure of a correlation between the original Greek version and the Roman copies. According to J.J. Pollitt, Aphrodite of Cnidus inspired worship and reverence mostly due to her sensual physical features of her nude appearance, which was newly embraced by the cultural society of fourth century Greece (Art and Experience in Classical Greece 159). In the fifth century, Greek society had shunned the romantic and sexually idealized type of woman who could be objectified in art (Pollitt 159). Only one century later, the psychological changes in the collective conscious of Greece following the Peloponnesian War may have been main contributing factors resulting in a new Hellenistic age that ushered in the introduction of the female nude in Greek art (Pollitt 136-37). This period of Greek art was generally characterized by the emotional states of the facial expressions of the sculpted figures, as well as the exaggerated contrapposto poses of their bodies (Pollitt 159).

  • Περίληψη : Praxiteles Is the Most Famous Ancient Greek Sculptor of Statues of Deities After Phidias and the Greatest Artist of Fourth-Century Athens
    IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Corso Antonio (4/11/2002) Για παραπομπή : Corso Antonio , "Praxiteles", 2002, Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Κωνσταντινούπολη URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=10583> Praxiteles Περίληψη : Praxiteles is the most famous ancient Greek sculptor of statues of deities after Phidias and the greatest artist of fourth-century Athens. Some configurations are peculiar to his art: figures of sinuous teenagers, in an S-shaped curve with smoothed surfaces, representing the deities of the sensual life, such as Eros, Aphrodite, Dionysus and the Satyrs. Moreover, his art became the symbol of the world of the courtesans during a period when this institution of Greek society was admired. Another salient feature of his art was the expression of subjective feelings, especially of love. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης Probably 395 BC. Praxiteles was an Athenian and was presumably born in Athens. He was probably of the deme of Sybridai. Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου Probably 326 BC. Praxiteles may have died in Athens as well. Κύρια Ιδιότητα Sculptor in marble and bronze from 375 BC. At least from the early 360s, also owner of an established workshop of sculpture. He is known to have been active as a sculptor for 41 years, from 375 BC until 334 BC. 1. Birth-family Praxiteles was born probably in Athens around 395 BC. He had the Athenian citizenship and was probably of the deme of Sybridai.1 His father was probably Kephisodotos the Elder, the best-established Athenian bronze sculptor between 390 and 370 BC.2 Kephisodotos’sister married Phokion, a politician and a pupil of Plato.

  • The Capitoline and Medici Aphrodites, Four Nymphs at Elean Herakleia, and an Aphrodite at Megalopolismegalopoli Sss***
    A Tale of Seven Nudes: The Capitoline and Medici Aphrodites, Four Nymphs at Elean Herakleia, and an Aphrodite at MegalopoliMegalopolissss*** The Capitoline Aphrodite (fig. 1) counts among the most copied statues of antiquity. In 1951, Bianca Felletti Maj collected 101 replicas of the type compared with 33 for the Medici Aphrodite (fig. 2) and a mere five for the so-called Aphrodite of the Troad; and many more examples have surfaced since. 1 Yet despite the Capitoline type’s popularity, the date, location and authorship of its original remain clouded, as does its relation to these other ‘pudica’-type Aphrodites, especially the Medici. Leaving aside the Aphro- dite of the Troad, this article presents new evidence that may resolve one of these problems and sheds some new light upon some of the others. 1. NARRATIVE AND CONTEXT First, what do we know about the Capitoline type (fig. 1)? Stark naked, the goddess stands on her left leg with her right leg relaxed. She covers her genitals with her left hand, begins to shield her breasts with her right hand, and starts to turn and glance to her left, apparently because some unexpected intruder has caught her attention. Beside her left leg stands a tall, slim water * This study was conceived in 1999, begun in 2005, and completed in summer 2008 on a visiting fellowship at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Berlin. There, working through its splendid collection of periodicals, I came upon Xeni Arapoyianni’s publication of the Elean mirror illustrated in figs 9 and 10, which I had noticed in the Elis Museum nine years previously.
