The statuette is like a bust of Michelangelo Buonarroti - the famous Italian sculptor, artist, architect, poet and thinker. Mekelagelo was one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance and early Baroque.
I also wanted to show this statuette of the Grand Master from one more side and with a softer shadow. I think that I managed to do it, although I photographed I could say - on the run, wanting to show.
There is also another statuette of Sophocles, a Greek (Athenian) playwright and tragedian. This is ancient Greece, the ancient world. The poet glorified this time in the tragedy "Oedipus at Colon"
And here I also wanted to show this small form - a statuette of Sophocles in a more advantageous version in a photograph, where there is a play of light and shadow. With a soft shadow transition.
The statuette of the goddess Aphrodite is the goddess of Beauty and Love, who was included in the number of the twelve Olympian gods. She was also revered as the goddess of fertility and eternal Spring.
The statuette shows the beauty of the female body very well. This sculpture was purchased by me on the island of Cyprus, where, according to legend, Aphrodite emerged from the foam of the sea.
A statuette of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who has become the standard of beauty for the whole world. She was the wife of the pharaoh of the XVIII dynasty of the New Kingdom of Akhenaten.
A figurine made of ceramics (clay). The work is modeled on the ancient goddess of fertility found in a burial mound in the South Urals in a Scythian burial. Differs in its simplicity and beauty of execution.
Golden Oscar statuette (copy, but not gold) - made to reward creative people (musicians, writers, poets and theatrical figures), but in countries other than the United States. A simple reward for creativity.
The figurine, like a small street culture, is made of metal (cast iron) on the theme of Krylov's fables. It is a pity, but for a long time this beauty did not stand on the streets of the city, it was stolen. It's empty now.
A statuette is a small sculpture (refers to sculpture of small forms) made of natural stone, such as marble, ceramics (clay), metal and other materials. A figurine, as a culture, can depict people, animals and any images or objects, including abstract and even surreal. The height of these works usually ranges from 15-60 cm to 80 cm. Often the work can be in height and slightly more than 1 meter. Figurines can be made to decorate interiors in a private house (indoor decoration) and public buildings, street decoration in the city, as small forms. And from history one can recall examples when primitive people, as cult deities, already made figurines. In my photo - this is an example of a copy of a Scythian figurine made of ceramics (clay). And for information - there are quite widespread figurines - these are Japanese netsuke, but I am writing this only for example, I do not have such a figurine, but photos of netsuke can be easily found on the Internet. This is my story about the figurines.
