Architectural SculptureLabors of Herakles, metope TheTemple of
Zeus, Olympia,470-456 BCE
•The attitude (more human and emotional) and dress (simple Doric clothing) contrast with the elaborately clothed, always smiling Late Archaic style statues. •Contrapposto, the shifting of weight to create counterbalance, was a large step towards the depiction of natural movement.•Poses of the Late Archaic period were inspired by Egyptian rigidity and frontality and did not accurately show how real human beings stand.

Roman Copies• Made in marble ca. 450
BCE• The discus thrower was
part of a search for an ideal form.
Beauty, Chrysippus feels, resides not in the commensurability (symmetria) of the constituents (i.e. of the body), but in the commensurability of parts, such as the finger to the finger, and of all the fingers to the metacarpus and the wrist (carpus), and of these to the forearm, and of the the forearm to the arm, in fact of everything to everything, as it is written in the Canon of Polyclitus. For having taught us in that treatise all the symmetriae of the body, Polyclitus supported his treatise with a work, having made a statue of a man according to the tenets of his treatise, and having called the statue itself, like the treatise, the Canon.

After Polykleitos
Doryphos [Roman Copy], Pompeii, 450-440 BCE
“Symmetria”
• He uses dynamic asymmetry rather than static symmetry.
• Chiastic (cross) balance is motion while at rest.
• Tense and relaxed limbs oppose each other diagonally (the right leg and the left arm are relaxed, and the left leg and the right arm are tensed).

the Ottoman court at Istanbul, dismantled (with permission) many of the Parthenon sculptures and shipped them to England between 1801 and 1803.

Late Classical PeriodLysippos, ca 330
BCEHe introduced a new canon of proportions, with the head one-eighth the height of the body instead of one-seventh, for a more slender figure.

44
Late Classical Period
The Greeks were slow to adopt Corinthian capitals – used at Delphi & Epidauros only in the interiors of sacred buildings.
• The main advantage of a Corinthian capital over an Ionic capital was that
• All four sides have a similar appearance, so corner Corinthian capitals did not have to be modified like Ionic capitals to follow the rule of “triglyphs at the corners of a frieze must meet so that no space is left over.”
• They also did not require the use of metopes or triglyphs, because an Ionic frieze could be used instead.

52
Winged Victory of Samothracea. The motion created
through the beating wings and the wind-swept drapery.
b. The theatrical effect created by the statue’s original setting, high atop a fountain that featured water falling down two tiers onto boulders.
c. The statue interacted with its environment: it was reflected in the water of the fountain, which caused it to seem light and moving. The sound of the water also provided an aural element. It was not an isolated work on a pedestal.
d. Its dynamic pose causes it to appear living, breathing, and emotional.

Laocöon
Rome, Early First Century CE.
The Trojan priest, Laocöon, and his sons were strangled by sea serpents while they were sacrificing at an altar, a scene told in the Aeneid.
![Page 58: Ch 5 Lecture Part2](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/554fa9e1b4c905ad218b4ed9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
Laocöon
Great emotion is showed by Laocöon, who seems to give out a huge cry of pain, which is heightened by the writhing forms of the serpents. Even his hair is twisted and active. Motion is created by dynamic poses and every muscle of each figure is tensed with drama.

Historical & Cultural influences on the transition from Classical Greek to
Hellenistic Greek Art• Rise of Macedon – after the defeat of Athens in 404 BCE, the Greeks were weakened, and then overcome by Philip II of Macedon, then succeeded by Alexander the Great.
• The political upheaval challenged the notion that rational human beings could impose order on their environment.
• Refocused on individual rather than the ideal and on the real world of appearances.– The gods were humanized.

Architectural Innovations: ROME
DEFINITIONS:Barrel vault: The extension of a simple arch
creating a semi-cylindrical ceiling over parallel walls. It requires buttressing of the walls below the vaults to counteract their downward and outward thrust.
Groin or cross vault: Formed by the intersection at right angles of two barrel vaults of equal size. Needs less buttressing and appears lighter than barrel vaults.
Pseudo-peripteral: A series of engaged columns that run around the sides and back of the cella to give the appearance of a peripteral colonnade.

In the second style Roman wall painting, called the "architectural style," space extends beyond the room with various perspective ("illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat two-dimensional surface) devices. Roman artists came close to developing a true linear perspective.

Third Style
In the Third Style Roman Wall Painting, called the "Ornate Style," pictorial illusion is confined to "framed" images, where even the "framing" is painted on. The overall appearance is flat rather than a 3-d illusion of space.
![Page 89: Ch 5 Lecture Part2](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/554fa9e1b4c905ad218b4ed9/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
89
The Fourth Style Roman Wall Painting, called the "Intricate Style," confines full three-dimensional illusion to the "framed images," which are placed like pictures in an exhibition. The images themselves do not relate to one another nor do they present a narrative, as in the Second Style.
The Fourth Style is also characterized by the open vistas and the use of
aerial perspective, as well as the elaborate architectural framing.
