    The Kritios Boy

    The Marble made statue known as the Kritios Boy is a champion among the most basic statues ever. At no other time had a stone specialist been stressed over portraying how a man really stands. The Dying Gauls on the holy place of Zeus, pergamene craftsmen, showed the triumph of Attalos I over the Gauls in whimsical veil. An earlier Pergamene statuary gathering unequivocally outlined the demolition of the savages. Roman copies of some of these figures reveal that Hellenistic specialists completely considered and imitated the specific features of the remote Gauls, most strikingly their long, Bushy hair and mustaches and the torques they as frequently as conceivable wore.…

    Alexander, son of king Philip II and Olympias was born in 356 B.C.E, and at age 19, became king of Macedon. With a great army at his disposal and his brilliant military mind, he started his conquest. From 337-323 B.C.E Alexander conquered Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and a large part of Asia. Alexander ruled from Macedonia to the northern part of India. He defeated the Persians numerous times with his incredible military strategies, even when his armies were outnumbered by almost 200,000 Persian soldiers. The sheer size of his empire was unlike anything ever seen before but when he died in 323 B.C.E, the three main areas he conquered (Greece/Macedonia, Egypt, and Mesopotamia/ Asia) were split up and became their own kingdoms. The area that was once Greece and Macedonia became the Antigonid Kingdom, the Egyptian are became the Ptolemaic Kingdom and the Asia/ Mesopotamia area became the Seleucid Kingdom.…

    The Persian empire at its peak has long been seen as one of the largest wholes during the classical era, and few have rivaled its size. The land that Alexander the Great was able to conquer, however, was one of the few that served as an appropriate challenge. Around the time of 338 B.C.E through 323 B.C.E., Alexander's collected mass was a whole. Of a Greek origin, Alexander was taught by Aristotle, the great philosopher, and it can be inferred that he used the strategic methods learned, among other things, to assist him during his expansion. It was short lived, however, when he died of an unknown cause at an early age of thirty-three. Even though his empire crumbled, his legacy lived on. Multiple cities, strongly influenced by Alexander, erected,…

    Throughout different time periods and civilizations come many different types of art that would never be comparable to those of another time or place. There are also the pieces that come from a completely different time and place, but yet they can still be compared to one another. The Torso of a God (Egyptian, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, last decade of the reign of Amenhotep III, Granodiorite, 1359-1349 B.C.) and the Statue of Asklepios (Greek, Hellenistic period, Pentelic Marble, 2nd century B.C.) are two sculptures made hundreds of years apart, yet they both display many similarities and show how art is constantly changing whilst keeping the same core ideas.…

    Hellenistic art was propelled and conducted under the vast expansion of the Greek world under Alexander the Great in the late fourth century B.C. During this era, bronze, cast from alloys of copper, tin, lead, and other elements, was employed tremendously for dynamic compositions, displays of the nudity, and graphic expressions of individual identities. Surpassing marble with its tensile strength, reflective characteristics, and capability of embracing the finest details, bronze statues were produced in thousands and served as vehicles for the transmission of culture and technology through trade, migration, emulation and plunder. However, only a small number of those have survived and are dispersed worldwide and displayed as masterpieces. Two…
