    The Tiber Muse, originally discovered in the vicinity of the Tiber River in Rome in 1885, is a product of the Graeco-Roman era and is dated around the 2nd-1st century BCE. This date and other formal qualities of the sculpture such as the pose, drapery and medium suggest that it was produced during the Hellenistic Period of Greece and Asia Minor, and then imported to Rome at a later date. The importation, copying, and public display of Greek art were common from the start of Roman conquering of Greek territories and throughout the Roman Imperial era. The formal qualities of this piece, to be explored later in this exhibition, are comparable to those of the Nike of Samothrace in that they both exhibit the dramatic, elaborate techniques common of the Hellenistic Period (323-30 BCE) that embrace a range of emotions, providing us with an overpowering, multi-sensory experience as we view these pieces. The qualities and purpose of art during the Hellenistic Period were quite different from those of the Byzantine Era, to be further explored by comparing these two sculptures with the Justinian and Attendants mosaic from San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Through a formal analysis of these three works, the meaning, purpose and values of the culture that produced them will become clear, and we can further understand the historical context of these two very different time periods.…

    The marble statue of Diadoumenos is a copy of the original bronze statue displaying a young man tying a fillet around his head. The original was created in c.a. 430 B.C. by a man called Polykleitos of Argos. Polykleitos was a Greek sculptor who worked during the mid-fifth century B.C. . he was one of the most famous artists of the ancient world. Polykleitos' figures are carefully designed with special attention to bodily proportions and stance. The statue of Diadoumenos has its thorax and pelvis tilt in opposite directions, setting up rythmic contrasts in the torso that create an impression of organic vitality. The position of the feet, (poised between walking and standing), give a sense of potential movement.…

    It was discovered in 1996 near the Croatian island of Losini in the northen Adriatic Sea. Both this statue and the Ephesian Apoxyomenos reproduce the same late-fourth-centruy B.C. work, but this replica is better-preserved. On contrary to the small-scaled Alexander the Great sculpture, the athlete sculpture is slightly over life-size by ancient standards. Produced in the first century B.C., it is composed of bronze and copper. The mature, but youthful man stands upright with his weight on the right leg and the left foot set to the side with heel raised with an overly muscular chest and wide shoulders. The smoothly idealized face has wide cheekbones and a rather short chin with copper accentuating the lips and nipples. The most distinct feature of the head is the hair. The rows of smaller and finely chiseled strands surrounding the forehead are swept in different directions, creating a realistically disheveled look of an athlete who has just finished his competition. The most noticeable difference from the Ephesian statue is the position of the head, which is not turned to the left, is inclined further forward, and is somewhat tilted. As a result, the figure’s gaze does not meet the…
