Greek Humanism
• “For we are the lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes. And we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness. -- Pericles– Greek humanism led to democracy.
[demos=people]– Greek gods took human form &
exhibited human frailties – yet were immortal
– The perfect individual became the Greek ideal.
– The first “Olympic Games” were held in 776 BCE.
• Athens as the center of ancient Greek culture.– Carried out in the stoa, the agora and
palaestrus.– “Sound mind in sound body”

Geometric, Orientalizing, and Archaic Art• Characteristics typical of vase decoration
from the Geometric period. – Almost exclusively covered in abstract
motifs.– Human figure is highly stylized.– No depth of space.
The 7th century was known as the “Orientalizing” period in Greek art because the Greeks borrowed many motifs from Egypt or Near Eastern art due to closer contact through trade.
New subject-matter• Egyptian monsters, like the Sphinx and
lamassu.• Black-figure painting.

Geometric, Orientalizing, and Archaic Art
Found in a cemetery: 3 ft tall, open bottom, perhaps to pour libations in honor of the dead.
• A fine example of figure painting in Ancient Greece.
• Features a meander, a Greek “key” design around the rim of the vase.
• The scenes on the vase depict funerary practices.– 2 dimensional
• The Krater was a vessel for mixing wine and water.– Highly geometric patterns. – No sense of open space.– Figures are simple and composite.– Human figured reintroduced &
storytelling was revived. Diplyon krater– ca. 740 BCE

Geometric Sculpture
• Schematic figures also existed: Bronze of a man and a centaur battling --ca 750-730 BCE– Example of a composite monster.– Theme may have come from the
Near East, but the Centaur is Greek. -- Note human legs in
the front! -- Size indicates possible
victor!

The Human Figure in Early Greek Art
Apollo of Mantiklos – 700-680 BCE
• Inscription scratched into the though indicates this was an offering to the sun god Apollo.
• Indicates interest in human anatomy.

Influences from the East
•Amphora [2 handled storage jar] shows Eastern influence. This example: Proto-Corinthian. What are the Eastern influences? Also an example of the black-figure painting developed by the Corinthians. Painted figures in black. Then incised detail

Plan of Temple A, Prinias, Crete, ca. 625 BCE.
The First Stone Temples
• Trading brought
Egyptian influences to Greece before 630 BCE• Including their monumental architecture. • Carved stone lintel – similar motifs as on the vases of the period.
![Page 12: Greek and Etruscan Art](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050817/554faa77b4c9057b298b4db3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
The Human Figure in Archaic Art• Early Greek statutes follow the Egyptian
model – the Kouros [young man] takes a very Egyptian pose.
Differences:•Liberated from the stone block – interested in motion rather than stability.• Are shown nude, with a perfect body.• Kouros & Kore were ideals.
ca. 600 BCE

The Human Figure in Archaic Art
The Smiling Calf Bearer• A citizen bringing an offering Athena.• Perfect nudity, yet clothing indicated.• Love of pattern.• The “Archiac smile” appears.
• Probably used to indicate that the person is alive
560 BCE

The Human Figure in Archaic ArtThe Kroisos Kouros ca.
530 BCE• A young hero slain in
battle• Body rendered in a more
naturalistic manner.– Head in proportion &
face more rounded.– Hair falls naturally.– Traces of the original
paints remains

The Human Figure in Archaic Art
Kore were stylistically similar to kouros
• Wearing a peplos• Buried for 2 millenia,
thus preserving the paint.
• Extended arm a break from Egypt.
• More natural, wearing a chiton & himation.
• Folds are assymetrical. • Grasping & lifting
chiton is equivalent of “left foot forward in the Kore

Greek Architectural Development• Early ones made of wood and did not
survive. [One wooden column preserved at Olympia]
• Later made of limestone or marble.• Temple at Prianas - monumental with
sculptures. 625 BCE.– Began to follow the example of
Egyptian columnar halls– Altars were outside the temple at the
east end; worshippers gathered outside to worship.
– The temple housed the cult statue – Greek temples were houses for the
gods, not the followers.– Figural statues appeared early in order
to evoke human responses; temples built in high places. Acropolis = “high city”
![Page 19: Greek and Etruscan Art](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050817/554faa77b4c9057b298b4db3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Greek Architectural DevelopmentPLAN & PROPORTION• Close to the Mycenaen megaron in the
early days.– Order, compactness, symmetry.– Proportion of end to sides 1 : 3– Later approached 1 : 2, but not exactly.– Related to harmony in music.

22
Greek Architectural Development• Example of early Doric: Decoration placed
in parts that had no structural function – the metope & pediments.
• Translation into stone of earlier timber architecture.
• The columns show entasis
Temple of Hera I, Paestum, ca. 550 BCE

23
Pediment Sculptures• The artistic issue was the triangular shape.
Used figures that were standing, kneeling, leaning etc… n.b. Animals have one end taller than the other!
• Identifies the central character, but not a narrative.
• The narrative was in the smaller areas of the pediment.

Frieze from Delphi
• Treasuries were for the safe storage of votive offerings
• Ionic friezes ran around the building continuously.
• Representations of giants• The caryatids were korai dressed in chiton

•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.
• He sold them to the British government at great financial loss.
• In modern times accused of “stealing” Greece’s cultural heritage, but also saved them from certain ruin if they had been left at the site.

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.

75
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.

81
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.
