It was created in the c. 410-407 BC in Athens. This sculpture is 37 inches tall and is now resting in Acropolis Museum, Athens. Phedian style is defined as “Conveys an ideal that was not merely artistic but also philosophical: the idealized faces and proportions the Athenians elevate them above the uncivilized world in which they operate” (Hall, 1995,p. 138).]]> 2022-04-22 05:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/das18005/1yzyddw9gg5p8cww/wish/2153143941 Etruscan Art: Gold and enamel a baule earring 6th century B.C. das18005 https://padlet.com/das18005/1yzyddw9gg5p8cww/wish/2153145748 This earring represents one of the most common types in Etruscan jewelry but with exceptionally elaborate embellishment. ]]> 2022-04-22 05:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/das18005/1yzyddw9gg5p8cww/wish/2153145748 Roman Art: Mosaic Fragment with a Dionysiac Procession, mosaic: limestone and glass tesserae late 2nd–early 3rd century AD das18005 https://padlet.com/das18005/1yzyddw9gg5p8cww/wish/2153150007 Many Roman mosaics are geometric in the manner of rugs and carpets, but a vast range of figurative subjects were produced, ranging from mythological and religious scenes to landscape and marine mosaics to scenes of gladiatorial combat and wild beast fights.

Those experienced with later Christian imagery might mistake this for an image of the Last Supper, but instead this image does not tell any story. It conveys rather the idea that Christ is the true teacher.

Christ draped in classical garb holds a scroll in his left hand while his right hand is outstretched in the so-called ad locutio gesture, or the gesture of the orator. The dress, scroll, and gesture all establish the authority of Christ, who is placed in the center of his disciples. Christ is thus treated like the philosopher surrounded by his students or disciples.

The Hamzanama tells the fantastic story of Hamza, an uncle of the Prophet, who traveled the world spreading the teachings of Islam. The story was a popular subject for public recitation in coffeehouses, so exciting and full of fantastic elements were the tales. The young emperor Akbar commissioned an illustrated version of the manuscript consisting of 1,400 large illustrations, each over two feet tall, with text on the reverse to aid in recitation. It was the earliest and most ambitious product of the royal painting atelier, and its paintings betray an early fusion of Persian and local Indian styles.

Even the air above the distant river seems palpable. The painting is a careful study of how light reacts to the varying textures. But the scene is an imagined one. Before a kneeling man the Virgin presents on her lap the Christ child, and an angel holds a crown above her. No eye contact is made. It is as if we are seeing what the man has in his mind’s eye as he prays from the book in front of him. ]]> 2022-04-22 06:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/das18005/1yzyddw9gg5p8cww/wish/2153179744
