APPRECIATING SCULPTURE

Prehistoric Sculpture.

Such primitive sculptures begin to appear in the paleolithic era (ending in about 10,000 BC). For example, there is the basalt figurine known as the Venus of Berekhat Ram, and a quartz figurine called the Venus of Tan-Tan. Both sculptures are probably over 200,000 years old, judging from carbon dating evidence. Later in the pre-history period, early humans like the Cro-Magnons began to produce simple carvings of birds, animals and other phenomena.

Small sculptures of obese females called ‘venus figurines’ have been unearthed at various Stone Age settlements around Europe. These figures were probably fertility symbols, and were carved from a variety of materials including clay, limestone and mammoth bone. These females all look very similar, wherever they’ve been found. During the Neolithic era, bronze sculptures began to appear in greater numbers, as the result of the development of more secure human settlements, which allowed for the expansion of smelting and metallurgy.

Ancient Egyptian Sculpture.

Ancient Egyptian sculptures were mostly linked to architecture and the building of temples and tombs. Temples were viewed as being the eternal resting places of the Gods. A statue of the God(s) would be hidden in the temple, within a series of closed halls, and viewed for a limited time by a select group of people. Tombs were full of sculptures; of pharaohs, their queens, and of other prominent officials.

Ancient Greek Sculpture.

Early Greek sculpture was very similar to that produced in Egypt, with a focus on rather stiff figures carved out of stone. However, a significant change came about in the Early Classical period, when more realistic sculptures began to be produced such as the Kritios Boy (c.480BC)  which showed the male nude in the contrapposto position – weight resting on one leg, which is straight, with the other leg bent. This type of contrapposto male nude statue reached its apogee with Polykleitos’s Spear Bearer (c. 450-440 BC).

Rome & Christianity.

Ancient Greek and pre-Christian Roman sculpture was produced for a variety of reasons: The figures were meant to honour the Gods, and to act as funerary items. They were also developed to celebrate the beauty of the nude body, and to emphasise the power and prestige of individual rulers. The emphasis changed to a degree with the advent of Christianity, when sculptures of warriors and Gods began to be replaced by statues of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

Medieval Sculpture, and Some Definitions.

Diptychs, with a religious theme, and carved in wood, ivory or other materials, were a very common feature of this time. These diptychs, and other carvings and sculptures, were reliefs with scenes carves into a flat block, which stood out from the background. LOW RELIEF sculpture (and not just within the Medieval period) is where a scene or figure is carved out from its background – whatever the material – but only to a shallow depth. HIGH RELIEF sculpture (again, across many periods from antiquity onwards) is where the scene is carved out from the background material to a much greater depth, and may even be in-the-round, completely detached from its background.

During the subsequent Gothic period, there was a considerable expansion in the use of high relief sculptures within churches and cathedrals, often of key Biblical figures, which could appear almost free standing from the walls and other background materials behind. This monumental sculpture was combined with the increasing popularity, throughout the 17th Century, of much smaller hand-held Memento Mori sculptures (particularly in strongly catholic areas of Europe – see Activities section) and of small figurines of the Virgin Mary given to women about to be married – probably as symbols of continued piety.

The Renaissance.

Sculpture during the 14th & 15th Centuries began to encompass a broader range of topics – not just religious/Biblical narratives. There was a developing focus on sculpture which depicted classical myths, and which drew inspiration from the art of Ancient Greece and Rome. The Renaissance master sculptors were Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo, and wealthy patronage was important to them all. Michelangelo had the pope, amongst others. Donatello, who worked in Florence in the early to mid-15th Century, had the fabulously wealthy and powerful Cosimo de Medici, who was a massively important patron of aspiring painters and sculptors. For example, he commissioned Donatello to create the first free standing male nude since antiquity – ‘David’, a bronze completed between 1430-2. Of course, the presence of Michelangelo, the master sculptor, also has to be considered. Michelangelo dominated the Italian Renaissance scene, slightly later on in the 15th and early 16th Centuries, being born in 1475.

The Baroque and Rococo Styles.

Baroque sculptures were almost always in the round, and full of fluidity, movement and drama. The undisputed master of baroque sculpture was Gian Lorenzo Bernini. A visit to the Vatican City in Rome is certainly advantageous here, in order to appreciate how pivotal a figure Bernini was in the art and sculpture of the Catholic Counter Reformation.

Rococo.

Rococo sculpture places less of an emphasis on the large scale than was the case in the Renaissance and baroque periods. Instead, the stress was on small and delicate sculptures, often in porcelain rather than marble. Porcelain was an expensive and fragile commodity, recently introduced into Europe from China. As a consequence, Rococo sculptures were often the preserve of the wealthy aristocracy, and monarchs like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Sculpture in the 19th and 20th Century.

As with painting, impressionism became a key feature of sculpture in this period. The Renaissance focus on perfect anatomy and narrative shifted to one highlighting personal expression, stylization and different surface textures. For example, the rough texture left on Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker (a bronze created in 1913) was very different to the smooth surface typical of a Bernini sculpture. Rodin was one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th Century, and in his selection of surface textures, he was attempting something new and quite radical.

Modernism.

The term ‘modernism’ really encapsulates a variety of movements such as surrealism, minimalism, cubism, pop art and Dadaism. Marcel Duchamp, for instance, was a key Dadaist – a member of the post First World War Dada movement, which rejected most mainstream ideas of the day about what constituted ‘art’, and which felt largely alienated from the artistic establishment of the time. Sculptures like Duchamp’s 1917 piece ‘Fountain’ were intentionally controversial. The sculpture was thought by many to be vulgar, and totally lacking in artistic merit – a reaction which it was intended to provoke!

Constantin Brancusi was a FUTURIST sculptor. One of his most famous pieces was called ‘Bird in Space’ and produced in 1923. For many, the sculpture bore little resemblance to a bird, because there were no wings at all, and, instead, the focus was entirely on a stretched body and beak. When the work was imported into the USA, customs officials refused to recognise it as a work of art at all, instead branding it as a piece of worked metal. Only after a legal battle lasting 5 years was this non-representational sculpture legally accepted as a work of art by the US court authorities.

ACTIVITIES

Task 1: Have a look at copies of both the Kritios Boy and Polykleitos’s Spear Bearer (using any appropriate on-line and/or textbook sources) and compare and contrast them as sculptures. For example, you might assess their contropposto positions, and the general complexity of each sculpture.

Task 2: Use either google or a dictionary in order to define the term ‘diptych’.

Task 3: Find out a little more about Memento Mori sculptures. What were they, and why were they so popular?

Task 4: Much can be learned about the development of Michelangelo’s skills as a sculptor, by comparing and contrasting his Madonna & Child (produced in 1491) with his a Pieta, created in 1497: Have a look at copies of both, and then suggest how and why a Pieta can be judged to be the more complex and skilled work of art.

Task 5: Identify how 2 Bernini sculptures of your choice can be said to show fluidity, movement and drama (for example you could look at the ‘Ecstasy of Saint Teresa’ completed between 1647-52, and ‘Apollo & Daphne’ completed between 1622-5, both of which can be easily examined via on-line and/or textbook sources).

Pyramid Of Khufu | Egypt Pyramid of Khufu The Pyramid is the largest of the Giza pyramids and also referred to as the Great Pyramid. It was built by the Egyptians about 4,500 years ago, under the IVth dynasty. Already considered in antiquity as the first of the seven wonders of the world, it is the only one to have survived to the present day. For millennia it remained the tallest and most voluminous ever construction. It is still being analysed because it has not yet revealed all its mysteries … Artistic interpretation of the Pyramid of Khufu Dial & case The dial is cut from a block of Willow Creek Jasper, a natural stone whose design is reminiscent of the sand dunes of Egypt. Hieroglyphics are then applied using a transparency technique to create a mysterious effect. The pyramid itself is made of gold and covered with carefully calibrated grains of enamel. Perfect control of the firing temperatures is then required to preserve their granular appearance. Originally, the Pyramid of Khufu was covered with white limestone facings, which explains why this colour appears in this miniature work. The pyramidion (capstone) was made of electrum, a gold and silver alloy greatly prized by the ancient Egyptians. In this model it is carved from gold and given a mirror polish to maximise its brilliance. The statue of Khufu is represented on three different levels. Like ancient Egyptian statues, it is made of black basalt and its headdress is adorned with gold miniature painting. The case is engraved by hand, partly using the taille de joue technique, in which the engraver imparts a particular sense of movement to the engraved object. It depicts the lotus flowers adorning the tops (capitals) of Egyptian columns. The lugs are engraved with Khufu’s cartouche. Mechanism – Calibre LM 35 60-second tourbillon movement, awarded the Gold Medal at the last International Chronometry Competition. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcyyPxLNTO/?igshid=1eb2s5h8hort1

Welcome to the new video on the channel civilization Egyptian Today we will know some information about the pharaoh King Khufu

.

King Khufu is the second king of the fourth family in ancient Egypt. He took power after the death of his father Senefro. Under the name (Khnm Khawaf me) ie (idol Khnum who protects me). He is from the village of Khufu, which is currently the town of Bani Hassan. Send expeditions to  valley of the cave to bring turquoise. Where he found his name and a picture of him playing on the head of a person with a pinch of fighting. He has a single statue found in Abydos of ivory, engraved on the throne, and the length of the statue is five centimeters, and is now in the Egyptian Museum ruled by the Puritan (Turin) for about twenty-three years. In his reign built the Great Pyramid in Giza, and was the largest stone building in the world at this time, it was called (sister Khufu) sense of the horizon Khufu built in 2650 BC.

When King Khufu was born, he lived in the palace of his father King Senefru in Dahshur to the south of the Pyramids of Giza. This area was built by King Sinfero Hermin, one of which is located in the north of Dahshur and is called the Northern Pyramid or the Red Pyramid. The reason for this designation is that the workers who built the pyramid left many of the writings in red on the pyramid so the people called it that name. If the Pyramid of Khufu does not exist, then the pyramid of King Sinfro becomes Egypt's greatest pyramids. And built another pyramid next to it known as the pyramid curve or the South Pyramid. It is believed that the engineer who built this pyramid was built at 45 angle and then modified to 43; so the pyramid curved and became known as the pyramid curve. Khufu was always walking with his son, Prince Hamm Iono, who was fond of building, and was educated by his father, architect of the lighthouse of Nefert-Maat. Khufu went every day to see the construction work in his father's pyramid. He knew that he would become king of Egypt immediately after his father's death, and dreamed of building a great pyramid to be talked about by generations. Hamon Iono began preparing himself to become the second man after Khufu, and the title of head of all the king's works. Khufu began to play with his cousin and dreamed of the day. Khufu told his cousin that he wanted his pyramid built away from his father's pyramid in a new place that had never been visited by Pharaoh.

King Khafra

Pyramid of Khafra and the Sphinx in Giza Pyramid of Khafra is one of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. It was built by King Khafra, the fourth king of the fourth family, the son of King Khufu. He married Princess Anchor Ankh. Ruled twenty-six years. The second pyramid was built from the pyramids of Giza, which is lower than the pyramid of his father (Khufu). Its height was 143 meters and now 136 meters.

It was built over an area of ​​215 square meters, with two entrances on the north side. And still retains part of its outer exterior at the top. Within its hierarchical collection, statues of the shast stone were found in the special valley temple. Among them is a statue of the most beautiful sculpture produced by the Egyptian sculptor.

The pyramid of Khafra is located southwest of the pyramid of his father Khufu. The height is 143.5 meters and the length of each side 215.5 meters, and the angle of inclination 53.10. Located at the ground level, the entrance leads to a downhill corridor, its granite roof and slope angle 22. And ends at a barricade leading to a horizontal corridor, and then a slope leading to a cell called the error of the burial chamber is empty carved in the rock, and leads the corridor to another barricade rises to the top by a horizontal corridor ends in the burial chamber, and this room is limestone limestone ceiling, Pyramid, Khafra launched on the pyramid name (great).

King Mankawra

The Minkawra pyramid is the smallest pyramids of the Giza plateau and has a height of about 66 meters or 216 feet. It was built on the edge of the steep plateau. And completed the construction of enough nets, the successor of King Mkawra.

The base area was originally about 108.5 meters or 355.8 square feet. However, as a result of the subsequent removal of the stones for other purposes, the length of the sides of the base is currently 102.2 meters x 104.6 meters or 335.2 feet x 343.1 feet and the sides rise at a 51 degree angle.

The lower 16 layers of the pyramid were covered with blocks of pink granite. The burial chamber in the rock was cut down the pyramid and accessible through the northern entrance through a ramp. He also cut another ramp down the first passageway.

The burial chamber was closed by three granite beams or stone blocks that were lowered into vertical slits cut into the walls. The interior room was used as a storeroom while the other was used as a burial chamber and had a roof of a camel. The walls were covered with granite blocks.

A basalt sarcophagus was found in a hole inside the earth at a depth of 40 centimeters or sixteen feet. But this coffin drowned in the sea during his transfer to England in 1838 AD. The British Museum in London retains the lid of a coffin in the form of a man named King Mkawra, but it is not the original cover found in the burial chamber.

The funerary temple, the valley temple, and the road leading to them were built of brick and quality stone.

Dimensions: Height 66 m Length 108 m Width 108 m

King Zoser

Zoser, the proverb of Khet, meaning the body of the idol, took the title of bridge in the sense of the sacred. (2686 BC - 2600 BC). He was the second pharaoh in the third Pharaonic family. At the beginning of the ancient state, his name appeared in a red-colored papyrus, distinct from the other kings of the ancient state. The runway pyramid ordered by Zoser, the architect Emhotep, is the first massive stone structure known to date.

His reign

The statue of Zoser The pharaoh Mantho Manetho mentioned that Zoser was ruled for 29 years (2640 BC - 2611 BC), while the Turin papyrus states that his reign lasted only 19 years (2630 BC - 2611 BC). However, many current historians mention That the period of wisdom extended for 29 years because of the magnitude of its construction work. Thus, the difference of years between the two numbers may mean that Zoser is himself the first Pharaoh in the third family.

He has an engraving in an Aswan island, recounting the famine that occurred in his reign due to the lack of flood of the Nile, where Zuser gave the offerings to Khannum the idol of the waterfall. He stated the following:

My heart was in painful trouble, because the Nile had not been for seven years. The grains were not plentiful, the seeds dried up, everything the individual had to eat was in pathetic quantities, everyone deprived of harvest. No one can walk more; the hearts of old people were sad and their legs bent when they sat on the ground, and their hands hid away. So the temples were served, the temples were closed and the shelters were covered with dust. In short, everything in existence is injured

The reply comes from Khenum according to the inscription:

I will make the Nile rise for you. There will be no more years when the immersion fails to cover any area of ​​the earth. The flowers are stucco, and their trunks bend under the weight of pollen

King Zoser is considered one of the most powerful kings of Zein. He ruled Egypt, and the title of the architect was decorated with a number of titles, including the palace and the tombs of the Greeks. They considered him the god of medicine and healing due to the strength of his knowledge of medicine.

Archaeologists Discover Tomb of Ancient Egyptian Dignitary

In spring of this year, Czech archaeologists unearthed an incredible find – the previously undiscovered tomb of an ancient Egyptian dignitary in Abusir, Egypt. The discovery, announced on Friday on the Czech Institute of Egyptology’s Facebook page, allowed the team to garner important information about the turbulent period surrounding the beginning of Persian rule in Egypt.

The shaft tomb, discovered by a team from the Czech Institute of Egyptology at Charles University, dates back to the early 5th century BC, and belonged to an ancient Egyptian dignitary named Vahibre-meri-Neit. Professor Miroslav Bárta, who headed the expedition to Abusir, says that the man’s title means that he would have commanded foreign mercenaries serving in the Egyptian army during the first period of globalization of the ancient world.

“The name of the person himself indicates that he probably belonged to a powerful local family, and one title preserved and found so far, ‘Overseer of the Foreign Mercenaries’, also suggests that he was quite an important military figure.”

Vahibre-meri-Neit’s tomb holds the largest mummification deposit found by archaeologists so far. He probably died very unexpectedly, as his tomb was not yet finished. No human remains were found in the burial chamber but there was a double sarcophagus, consisting of a three-metre-high outer sarcophagus made of two massive blocks of white limestone, and a second inner sarcophagus, made of basalt.

However, both sarcophagi had been damaged by ancient robbers, probably around the 4th - 5th century AD, as evidenced by two forgotten Coptic vessels that were found in the main shaft of the tomb. The ancient thieves carried away the mummified body of the deceased along with everything he was carrying and wearing. In the otherwise empty sarcophagus, only an uninscribed heart scarab and a small headrest-shaped amulet were found. However, other interesting objects were found in the tomb.

“We came across two Canopic jars, a very important and quite big limestone flake called Ostracon on which one specific chapter from The Book of the Dead was inscribed in black ink. We found several hundred veshebts – servants’ statues to perform tasks for the deceased in the afterlife.”

And the tomb itself has a very unusual structure, says Bárta.

“As far as its structure is concerned it is quite unique – no parallels have been found so far.”

At a depth of approximately 6 meters below ground level, it is divided into several parts, separated from each other by "bridges" formed of the original bedrock. A smaller burial shaft, oriented east-west and measuring approximately 6.5 x 3.3 meters, was excavated into the bedrock roughly in the middle of the main shaft.

The unusual arrangement of the tomb and its austere but fully functional burial equipment thus provide valuable information about how the ancient Egyptians adapted to difficult circumstances and times of crisis, when the original character of their civilization was beginning to disappear. Miroslav Bárta says that the Ancient Egyptian civilization was in a period of instability at the time the tomb was built.

“Egypt at this particular period was in a very difficult situation, losing against more developed and more successful civilizations, be it the Greeks or the Persians. What people normally do under such pressure is that they dig deep into their past to find ways to readjust, to find the lost path to their glory.” One way the ancient Egyptian rulers of the period thought they could regain their former pre-eminence was by building shaft tombs that imitated the tombs of rulers from the past who were associated with historical success and greatness. This tomb imitates that of Djoser, a pharaoh of the 3rd Dynasty who founded the Old Kingdom, ancient Egypt’s greatest period of fame, success, and prosperity.

“The elite of the period thought that imitating such a famous tomb would give them additional social standing and legitimacy and would bring back their famous past – but obviously it didn’t work.”
