In the politics of that day, the building of a church that would surpass anything undertaken by Theodoric would serve as both an assertion of Justinian's authority in Italy and as evidence of the weakening power of Theodoric Ostrogothic successors. Immediately Justinian decided to build the church of San Vitale at Ravenna. At first Justinian's power over the Western Roman Empire was anything but certain, and so the project sat in limbo. Eventually, the use of force was needed to assert his Italian claims, and his armies entered the city in year 540, after that the construction went quickly...7yrs later the church was ready for its dedication by Archbishop Maximian. As usual little attention was paid to decorating the exterior, but the interior of this church is a virtual jewel box with multi colored marble walls, carved alabaster columns, pierced marble screens, and sanctuary mosaics. Architecturally San Vitale = central-type church, differing very much from Saint Apollinaire Nuovo. It has all the usual features of the basilica...nartex entrance, circular nave, surrounding side isles, triumphal arch leading into the sanctuary w/ an apse and two side chambers. Difference btw the oblong basilica and a centralized church is the direction of the axis. Oblong=axis runs horizontally through the center of the building, dividing the church in two halves, eye leading toward the apse. In central type axis is vertical, leading the eye upward from the central floor space to the dome. Other than the oblong narthex on the west and the apse and side chapels on the east=simple octagon. 2 side chambers of the apse are usually associated w/ EASTERN ORTHODOX churches. Their presence here points to the fact that San Vitale was designed as a theatre for the Byzantine liturgy. The northern chamber=PROTHESIS, place where communion wine and bread are prepared for the altar. Eastern Orthodox tradition assumes a dramatic character, sacramental bread was symbolically "wounded, killed, & buried" on the table of the prothesis, where it appeared on the altar, where it symbolized the resurrection of the body. The southern chamber=diakonikon served as the vestry and place to store the sacred objects. While the rectangular ancestors of the rectangular basilicas were Roman domestic and public buildings, the centralized church derives from ancient circular tombs such as Hadrian's colossal monument on the banks of the Tiber. The ancient preference for the circular mausoleum can be explained partly by its symbolism. Immortality was frequently represented by the image of a serpent biting its tail-that is, a living creature whose end was joined to its beginning. Another ancestor is the round classical temple, such as the Pantheon. Church built in the same form as a tomb is by no means as somber as it may sound, however in the Christian sense, a church symbolized the Eater tomb, reminding all of the resurrection of Christ. In his memory, churches were dedicated to martyrs & saints who were believed to be partaking of the heavenly life w/ him, just as the faithful hoped that they themselves would one day be doing. The ancient Orphic cult had stressed the idea of the body being the tomb of the spirit. Hence, death and resurrection were aspects of one and the same idea, and the martyr's death was a mystical union with Christ. The altar itself was a repository for the sacred relics of the saint to whom the church was dedicated. Early altars in the catacombs actually were sarcophagi that served also as communion tables. W/in the rites of the church, the earthly past of Christ, his apostles, saints, and martyrs were commemorated, and, at the same time, the glorious heavenly future was anticipated.

Orientalizing motifs are seen in the band of it. The change from black figure to red figure is significant. The excruciating technical problem of incising details into black glaze, which makes the black figures seem more stiff than the red-figures, was alleviated by the much more flexible brush used to indicate details in the red-figures.

Henri-Carter Bresson
-Founder of Magnum in 1947 -Created the idea of the "Decisive Moment" -All 35 mm photography was influenced by him -Believed in the psychology of photography. He refused to consider photographs as aesthetic objects. Said, "the difference is the act of seeing from the craft of moving." -Known for catching something in the moment -Photograph of him making a charcoal from a picture of himself -Seville, Spain - children playing - captured through a hole
Dorothea Lange
-Hired by WPA to capture the conditions of people in the Dustbowl during the Great Depression -Migrant Mother - at migrant pea pickers' camp in Nipomo, CA - the family seems to be completely destitute - most famous picture oriented to mother's face dominates the composition -Young Migratory Mother, originally from Texas was a natural photographer in the truest sense because she lived, in her words, "a visual life." She could look at something: a line of laundry flapping in the wind, a pair of old, wrinkled, work-worn hands, a bread-line, a crowd of people in a bus station, and find it beautiful. Her eye was a camera lens and her camera--as she put it--an "appendage of the body." During her last illness, as a friend sat near her bed, she suddenly said to him "I've just photographed you." She had engaged in this camera-less sort of photography for decades, from the time she was a young girl, and it served as both the foundation of her art education and her first apprenticeship. Bored and disillusioned with school, she would often cut class and go walking through her neighborhood, the lower-east side of New York. She would make herself as unobtrusive as possible, and look at things and people. Down-and-outs of the Bowery, bustling marketplaces, the Jewish ladies in their schechtels, or black wigs.

Octopus Vase
Again we see compositions of sea life. Here the Octopus's tentacles reach out and around the vessel almost as if it is embracing the piece itself. This emphasizes its large elastic volume.

This pot is from Palaikastro and it differs from the Kamares vessels in choice of color, which is more muted, and this Late Minoan artist reverses the earlier scheme. *Here we see dark on light background.* This scheme will remain the norm in Greece until c. 530 BC. Then we will see light figures emerge on dark backgrounds.

Richard Meier, The Getty Center
Artist: Title: Est. 1997, Los Angeles Created to prove the "grays" wrong The natural location was heavily exploited with two ridges at the location defining the two axes around which the center was built. Along the main axis are the galleries and along the other axis are administrative buildings and the getty research center. Was built based around a grid structure, which can be seen in the square shapes many of the buildings have. Materials are concrete and steel, aluminum or travertine clad. Getty was part of a group of architects called the "New York Five" who were also called the "whites" because of their pure outlook on the modernist aesthetic. These "whites" were attacked by the "grays", architects who believed that such an architectural outlook was unworkable and would fail when placed on a large scale. The Getty center disproved that in many peoples' eyes. Was heavily influenced by corbusier. One of goals Meier strives for is finding order in the chaos of life, and his architecture reflects that ideal.

The figure seems to be wedged btw the lyre and the chair. The shape of the instrument and the chair seem to reflect each other. Perhaps they are playing for the deceased in the afterlife. We still see simple lines and geometric shapes but there is also evidence that the artists pays careful attention to the elegance of both the figure and the instrume

Man and Centaur
Hercules and Centaur Chiron; Geometric Sculpture in the round, bronze, small only 4 ½ " high. Possible Herakles battling the centaur Nessos, who carried the hero's bride across a river then assaulted (wrapped) her. Centaur is any mythological creature ½ horse ½ man. Geometric artists was not limited to scenes inspired by daily life and death. Hence the vases. The centaur is a pure Greek invention. During this time frame the Greeks would have been exposed to the the monsters that were popular in Egyptian and Near Eastern. It's not likely that the artist would have seen such a creature. The centaur has horse hind legs and human front legs and torso, much like the figure of the hero. The hero is portrayed much larger to (contradictory to nature) the horse to indicate that he will be the victor. Contrast to the Near Eastern sculptures the Greek figures are nude. Even here in the beginning of Greek Figural art we see the natural instinct that the Greeks felt for the beauty for the human body. Greek athletes practiced and competed in the nude in the Olympic games. The 2 figures confront each other after the man has stabbed the centaur. The sculptor has reduced the body parts to simple geometric shapes, arranging them in a composition of solid forms and open negative spaces that makes the piece pleasing to the eye. Most of these types of works have been found in sanctuaries, suggesting that they may have been votive offerings to the gods

In the black figure technique, artists painted designs-figures, objects or abstract motifs-with slip in silhouette on the clay vessels. Then using a sharp tool, stylus, they cut through the slip into the body of the vessel, incising linear details within the silhouette. In the red-figure technique the process was reversed. Artist painted the background around the figures with the slip then drew details within the figures with the same slip using a brush. In both techniques artists often enhanced their work with touches of white and reddish purple gloss, pigments mixed with slip. Firing produced the distinctive black or red images.

Most of these figures have been found lying on graves. They used scrapers and chisels made of obsidian and polishing stones of emery. The introduction of metal tools made it possible for them to carve on a larger scale but maybe b/c the stone fractured so easily they limited themselves to simplified forms; This figure is almost flat and the human body is rendered in a stylized manner generally one notices the triangular shape that dominates the head and shoulders. The body tapers form shoulders to feet and the triangle is repeated again in the pubis area. The feet are too small to support the figure so most likely it was intended to lie in the grave with the person buried. Most likely with the breasts and pubis emphasized along with the swollen belly these figure were fertility offerings

Rebecca and Eliezer
Rebecca and Eliezer at the well, from the Vienna Genesis, early sixth century. Painted purple vellum, approx. 12 ¼ x 9 ¼". The earliest well preserved painted manuscript we know of that contains biblical scenes is the Vienna Genesis. It has the continuity of a frieze in a scroll. In a continuous narrative , two or more scenes of a story are represented within a single frame. This becomes common in Medieval art. In this scene from the book of Genesis (24:15-61), Rebecca leaves the city of Nahor to fetch water from the well in the first episode. In the second, she gives water to Eliezer and his camels. Nahor is represented as a walled city seen from above, in the same way as the cityscapes on the Column of Trajan and the mosaics of Santa Maria Maggiore which incorporated Roman pictorial conventions. The action is simplified, Rebecca walks to the well along a colonaded avenue of a Roman city, the source of the well, after indicated by a seminude female personification of a spring—a reminder of the persistence of classical motifs. The detail is in the pantomime of the narrative. Rebecca braces her foot on the well as she tips the jug towards Eliezer. The background is a luxurious purple with silver ink. The manuscripts become more and more elaborate as time went on in Medieval art. They valued the spiritual beauty of the text and the material beauty of the books they created to spread their message.

Scenes of sowing and harvesting are also seen in Egyptian art, but their compositions are much more stiff, static and formulaic. This Minoan composition breaks static trend and bursts with energy and movement, and individualized figures. We see a riotous crowd singing and shouting as they return from the fields. Figures are led by an older man wearing a cloak patterned cloth carrying a staff. Youths who follow are depicting forward movement. Although we mainly see traditional profile and frontal views, one figure is singled out by shaking a rattle with his lungs so inflated with air that his ribs are showing. 1st instance where sculptor shows detail/interest in what skeletal structure of the human figure. This is a study of human anatomy. This is a remarkable composition esp. when considering the small size of the vase. Careful attention is also notes in the facial expression of the figures. All faces show tension and relaxation with in the facial muscles

San Apollonaire in classe
The Roman basilica, the building in which judicial, commercial, and governmental activities took place, became the primary architectural model for Christian churches in the early Middle Ages. Medieval Italian churches generally imitated its basic design. In Classe, near Ravenna, is an excellent example of the early Christian basilican form. The relics of the Early Christian leaders and emperors were venerated as if they were the person, such as the cross, relics and mementos. Even vessels associated with holy rites came to be worshiped as real presences and to have believed to have sacramental and magical powers, such as healing. This worked in the service of both Church and the sanctified imperial state. This image would influence the Middle Ages strongly both in the East and the West. The end of the period of Justinianic Ravenna closes with the Church of Sant'Appollinare in Classe, a few miles from Ravenna, where the hieratic style of Byzantine reaches a standard and is also a point of departure. Here is where Saint Appolinaris rested and was venerated. The building itself is Early Christian, a three aisled basilica. It has a semicircle interior with a polygonal exterior. The outside is plain and the inside has mosaics. They are in the triumphal arch and the apse behind it. orant position feet frontal golden style The mosaic decorating the semi-vault above the apse in Saint 'Appolinaris, was completed in 549, when the church was dedicated. It has a large blue medallion on a gold ground, with a jeweled cross (symbol of the transfiguration of Christ) It may be another version of the cross Constantine had built on the hill of Calvary to commemorate the martyrdom of Jesus-the cross that we also saw represented at Santa Prudensiana in Rome. Above the cross is the hand of God. On either side of the medallion, in the clouds appear the figures of Moses and Elijah, who appeared before Christ during his transfiguration. Below these two figures are three sheep, three disciples who accompanied Christ to the foot of the Mount. Beneath in the midst of green fields with trees, flowers, and birds stands the patron saint of the church, Apollinaris. He is accompanied by twelve sheep(12 disciples), and a decorative base. The face of Christ is on the arch above in a medallion and the signs of the evangelists are represented in the rainbow-streaked heavens. In comparison to Galla Placidia the style has changed dramatically during the coarse of a century. Both have a human figure and some sheep in a landscape. But in Classe, in the mid-sixth century, the artist does not recreate a segment of the physical world. The story is told in flat symbols, lined upside by side. No overlapping is done. Shapes have lost their volume and become flat silhouettes. Details are done with line work. It seems more like a luxurious tapestry, narrating a story directly.

The corbel arch or relieving triangle depicts 2 decorative relief carvings of lions or possibly sphinxes. The heads were separate and have since been lost, but one can still see that the animals are carved in high relief and they are resting their forepaws on a stand that carries a Minoan style column. The animals are carved w/ vigor filling a triangular space. There is a sense of harmony found with in the dignity, strength and scale of the massive stones and entrance gate.
Alexander

Apollo by Mantiklos
This sculpture was dedicated to a god by Mantiklos. A message from the dedicator to the deity is inscribed on the thigh. The message reads, "Mantiklos dedicated me as a tithe to the far shooting Lord of the Silver Bow; you Phoibos (Apollo), might give some pleasing favor in return." The Greeks conceived their gods in human form and because of this, we can not be sure if this is Mantiklos or Apollo. However if the left hand once held the bow cited in the message then we are dealing with the deity. The artist pays careful attention to the detail in the hair and the sculpted stomach and pectoral muscles, which give shape to the triangular torso. The youthful figure's long hair subsequently elongates the neck. The deep eye sockets were once inlaid with stones, and their may have been a helmet on the head. At the time of this sculpture there was an increase in Greek trade and colonization, and Greek artists were exposed to many Eastern pieces, like small ivory carvings. This close frequent contact to the near east had a profound impact on Greek art, hence this period has been dubbed "Orientalizing."
cult of relics
Thought that powers of the saint might be manifested through his relics and things associated with; was criticized from its inception by purists who regarded it as pagan.

Temple of Aphaia
To give a sense of 3-d the sculptor would place some figures behind others, overlapping as many as 3 of them varying the depth of the relief. To counter any sense of deep recession, all the figures would be the same height with their feet on the same ground line. The long pediments of Greek Temples provided a perfect stage for storey telling, but the triangular pediment provided a problem in composition. The sculptor of this pediment provided a creative solution that became a design standard. The subject of the pediment rendered in fully 3-d figures, is the sack of Troy

Bishop Bernwald
Tutors Otto III as the Bishop of Hildesheim from 993 until his death in 1022. His time in office fell during the era of the Saxon emperors, who had their roots in the area around Hildesheim and were personally related to Bernward. During this time, Hildesheim was a center of power in the Holy Roman Empire and Bernward was determined to give his city an image fitting for one of its stature. The column he planned on the model of Trajan's Column at Rome never came to fruition, but Bernward revived classical precedent by having his name stamped on roof tiles made under his direction.

What Dynasty made the pyramids at Giza?
Oriental
What Period? almond shape eye; very pale; contact with Africa and Asia Life size painted plaster head of a woman, goddess, or sphinx.. We know the head is female b/c of the white flesh tone. Hair and eyes are painted dark blue., almost black, lips ears and head band are red. Cheeks and chin are decorated w/ a ring of red dots, recalling facial paint or tattoos recorded on Early Cycladic female figures. The large menacing eyes give a scary expression, appropriate for a guardian like figure or sphinx. If not for the dicovery of the remains of this figure, historians might wrongly conclude that life size pieces were not part of the Mycenaen culture. However it is ok to conclude that this kind of Aegean work was rare. And we do not see this kind of monumental sculpture again until after the Dark Ages, when Greek sculptors were exposed to the sculptural tradition of Pharanoic Egypt.

a phase of Gothic art which developed in Burgundy, Bohemia, France and northern Italy in the late 14th century and early 15th century.

The main influences were northern France, the Duchy of Burgundy, the Imperial court in Prague, and Italy. Royal marriages such as that between Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia also helped to spread the style. It was initially a style of courtly sophistication, but somewhat more robust versions spread to art commissioned by the emerging mercantile classes and the smaller nobility.

Snake Goddess
are associated with water, regenerative power, and protection of the home. This image is intriguing both as a ritual object and as a work of art. She is made of faience ceramic glaze appearing illustrious. She was found with other ceremonial objects in a pit in one of Knossos's store rooms; Most Minoan sculpture in the round is small, represents a mortal attendant not a deity, although the large breasts suggest fertility goddess. Snakes in hands, leopard rests peacefully on her head; this implies power over the animal world. Frontality is reminiscent of the Egyptian and Near Eastern figures but the dress is clearly Minoan. Open bodice, flounced skirt, is seen on Minoan women over and over. Most likely this statuette represents a goddess and is another example of human beings fashioning their gods in their own images.

as the Bishop of Hildesheim from 993 until his death in 1022. His time in office fell during the era of the Saxon emperors, who had their roots in the area around Hildesheim and were personally related to Bernward. During this time, Hildesheim was a center of power in the Holy Roman Empire and Bernward was determined to give his city an image fitting for one of its stature. The column he planned on the model of Trajan's Column at Rome never came to fruition, but Bernward revived classical precedent by having his name stamped on roof tiles made under his direction.

Lady of Auxerre
daedalic style; Most likely she originated in Crete. Maiden (female = Kore pl. Kori), statue of a goddess. Popularly named after the French town that is her oldest known provenance. We are uncertain as to whether she is a mortal or a deity. She wears a long skirt and a cape, as seen on the Prinias women, but the Auxerre maiden has no headdress. The right hand across the chest is most likely a gesture of prayer, this indicates that this is a kore. Only a little over 2 feet tall this figure appears to be much larger than she actually is, however she is smaller than the seated goddess of Prinias, but larger than most of the bronze pieces of this era. This figure is Daedalic, after the legendary artist, Daedalus, whose name means the skillful one. Characteristic of the daedalic style is the triangular flat-topped head framed by long strands of hair that form complementary triangles to that of the face. Also typical are the small belted waist and a fondness for pattern: the pattern on the skirt is covered with geometric squares, once brightly painted.

Illuminated Manuscript
have a long tradition. The picture and written word was developed in Egypt, and was advanced to a high degree in Hellenistic Greece. Thousands of manuscripts told stories of the Hebrew, Greek and Christian Culture that were available to the Early Christians to draw from for their mosaics. Constantine summoned numerous savants and literati from Alexandria, an intellectual center for both Jews and pagans since Hellenistic times. He established a library where these authorities gave instruction. He also was a great donar of manuscripts to the Church. Therefore Constantinople became a center of traditional and Christian learning which was transmitted by copying and recopying manuscripts through the centuries. The long scroll that was used by the Eygptians, Greeks, Etruscans and Romans was replaced by the codex, made like modern books to separate pages enclosed with a cover and bound on one side. The original material papyrus was replaced with vellum (calfskin) which was much more durable as well as parchment (lambskin). This helped the survival of these ancient documents. The script was carefully copied as faithfully as possible as well as the pictures within them. The shift went from scrolls, continuous narratives, to the codex, a series of individual pictures.

Hagia Sophia
means Holy wisdom. Combination of basilica and vaults Largest dome in the West to date Like Galla Placidia dome rests on pendentives(4 triangular sections which appear to hang) Pendentives are Byzantines greatest contribution Built of brick- necessitated buttresses Imperial place of worship It was the most important contribution of Justinian's reign. It is located in Constantinople. Justinian built many civic and religious structure. People were taxed greatly for the expense. Hagia Sophia, was built for Justinian by the architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus between 532 and 537. It is a huge structure, 270 feet long and 240 feet wide. The dome is 108 feet in diameter, and the crown rises 180 feet above the pavement. From the outside the great dome dominates, but the exterior was altered with huge buttresses and four Turkish minarets were constructed after the Ottoman conquest in 1453 when Hagia Sophia became an Islamic mosque. Now, in the 21st century, the building is a museum and nondenominational. The exterior plainness is in contrast to the exquisite interior. The huge narthex with its many entrances leads into the center of the structure, where a canopy like dome seems to be on a halo of light from the windows in the base of the dome. The dome rests on four pendentives, which is a major contribution from Byzantium to architectural engineering. It uses brick instead of concrete marking a further departure from Roman practice. The nave was reserved by the clergy and the congregation were placed in the galleries and aisles. This allowed only partial view of the ceremony. The emperor alone was allowed into the sanctuary, symbolically unifying church and state. At Hagia Sophia the combination of Greek theology, the ambitions of Rome, the vaulting tradition of the Near East and the mysticism of Eastern Christianity combine to create a magnificent monument.

St Alexander Reliquary
modeled on earlier Roman portrait busts (Julius Caesar, etc) silver - repousse decorated with bronze and gold and precious jems brass base - 2 saints with Pope Alexander II human sized head
Theodora
mosaic Court on her left and churchmen on her right Baptismal bowl tips forward (attempted perspective) Halo is flat (no perspective) Halos for spiritual and earthly power Tesserae reflect natural light The empress is also richly clothed and jeweled in the imperial purple. She is depicted before entering the church from the narthex. Possibly b/c of her humble beginnings (as the daughter of the feeder of the bears at the circus of Constantinople and her stage career as an actress) she appears more royal than the king. Procopius= cronicler of Justinian's reign said of Theodora that she fed the geese of the devil while on stage and the sheep of Christ when she sat on the throne. On the hem of her robe the offertory motif is carried out by the embroidered figures of the Three Wise Men, the first bearers of gifts of Christ. Since the Wise Men, Justinian, and Theodora all cam from the East, this motif served as a reminder to the people of Ravenna that the source of wisdom and power lay in that direction. These 2 portraits are especially precious b/c they are among the few surviving representations of the vanished glories of Byz courtly ceremonies.
Justinian
mosaic frontal Left is clergy Right is military and court officials Gold background In the apse of San Vitale, facing the altar from opposite sides, are two panels in mosaic that portray the leading figures of the early Byzantine rule in Ravenna. In this image we see Emperor Justinian appearing in the midst of his courtiers. On the other, facing him as an equal, is the Empress Theodora in all her sovereign splendor. It is significant that the finest existing portrait of Justinian should be mosaic rather than in the form of a sculptured bust, a bronze figure on horseback or a colossal statue. It is just this medium that could best capture the unique spirit of his life and times. Justinian based his rule on the skillful use of legal and theological formulas as well as on naked military might. He was mainly concerned w/ codification of Roman law, presiding at religious councils, and reconciling different political points of view. This is all evident in this composition, in fact he is represented as a symbol of unity btw the spiritual force of the church on one hand and the temporal power of the state on the other. Preceding Justinian in the procession are the clergy men, and we see Arch bishop Maximian identified by name. His crucifix is held up as the spiritual and temporal lord of Ravenna. On Justinian's other side we see his courtiers and honor guard holding their jeweled swords. The shield w/ Chrismon insignia points to the status of the soldiers as defenders of faith. The Chrismon was a widely used monogram of the time, made of 2 Greek letters CHI (X) & RHO (P), which together form the abbreviation of Christ. Somewhat more allegorically, the letters become a combination of the Cross and the Sheppard's crook, which symbolize the Savior's death and pastoral mission. Justinian stands in the center magnificently clothed and crowned w/ imperial diadem. The observer is forced to recognize that his is no ordinary royal person but rather one who could sign his name as Emperor Caesar Flavius, Justinianus, Alamanicus, Francicus, Germanicus, etc. As great as Justinian's military exploits were, it is his works of peace that have endured. He is also remembered for his monumental code the Digest of Laws which prevailed for centuries through out Western world.

the figure's body and posture is depicted like a sinuous or serpentine "S".

La Parisienne
titled because she looks like a sophisticated Parisian woman with her elegant stance, and full red lips) comes from and uncertain ceremonial scene. She is either a young priestess or goddess. The representation is similar to that of traditional Egyptian frontal positioning with the enlarged side view of the eye, profile view of the face and what direct frontal view of the torso. However the charm and and freshness of the image are undeniably different from that of the Egyptian murals. Most of the Egyptian frescos were painted on dry plaster known as fresco secco. Minoan frescos are done in true or wet fresco painted on wet plaster. True fresco requires the artist to work quickly and spontaneously which beings to give an impressionistic effect. The simple, light, delicate, spontaneous technique subsequently resembles the subject herself.

Charioteer
transitional or Early/5th Century Classical Period; still stiff pose yet outreaching; lost wax; Based on the inscriptions we know that this piece commemorates a victory by a driver in the Pythian games of 478 or 474 BCE. Pliny the elder writes that 3-time winners in Greek competitions had their features immortalized in statues and faces in the Transitional Classical period have a sullen look. This figure even seems to pout a little, his head is turned slightly to one side. His intimidating expression is enhanced by colored glass eyes & fine silver eyelashes. He stands erect, with its almost columnar fluting, is the epitome of elegance. The folds in the robe fall in a natural way, and the whole garment looks like it could sway with the Charioteer's movement. The feet are so detailed and realistic that they could have been cast from molds made from a living person

Centaur
½ horse ½ man figure exemplifies Proto-Geometric style: with its use of geometric forms in painted decoration, and the reduction of human and animal body parts in sculptural works to simple geometric solids like cubes, pyramids, cylinders, and spheres. The figure is unusual, because of its size (more than a foot) and b/c its hollow body was formed like a vase on a potters wheel. The artist added the solid legs and arms and tail to his body and painted on the bold, abstract designs w/ slip, the slip fired to dark brown, standng out against the lighter color of the un-slipped portions of the figure, Centaurs prevalent throughout Greek mythology had both a good and bad side and symbolized the similar dual nature of humans. This figure was found in a cemetery when it was found it had been deliberately broken into two pieces that were buried in adjacent graves. Clearly the object had special significance for the people buried in the graves or their mourners
