Hey dear Hive friends, first of all I would like to wish you all a pleasant day and hope you made one or the other positive experience today! In my new post, I would like to talk about art history and hope you can learn something new.
Here you can see pictures of a wonderful work of art which is based on the mythology and presents a god and I think the sculptor has created a work that looks authentic and is artistically at a high level. Sculpture is one of the oldest art forms and it is assumed that the first works were created over 30,000 years ago and the first works were probably created by hunters to present their trophies. With the emergence of cultures in Egypt and Mesopotamia, people begin to embody their religion in the form of sculptures and created gods and the first works were probably made from the material stone.
The pioneers of sculpture were therefore the ancient Egyptians and Sumerans and the Greeks went to raise this art form to a new level and created works that appeared even more detailed and also used it mainly to represent deities and human bodies and particularly shaped the Western art. The Greeks mainly used marble, which made the works look even more detailed and in the Middle Ages, sculptures were mainly based on religion and in addition, more and more kings or nobles were presented in the form of sculptures. Who also made an important milestone in history were the ancient Romans who were known for the facial expressions and characteristic properties in their works.
In the Renaissance, Roman sculpture was continued especially in Italy, and over time, more and more metal was used as a material to create sculptures. With the modernization, more and more sculptures with natural elements were also created and sculpture has probably shaped Art Nouveau to a large extent. Also more abstract works were created and more and more materials were used to create works and to this day sculpture is shaped by different styles and each form is something special in its own way!
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you can learn something new about this formative art form! I used my iPhone 12 to take these pictures.
