The Statue of Kouros

The statue of kouros and the portrait of a boy draw similar themes, but the way they accomplish this task is quite different. Throughout the details or lack of detail, Greeks and Romans can show certain values ​​they have on their members. The two statues are about 500 years apart and the way to carve is different. Greek statues seem to use geometrically exaggerated lines to shape the body, but the Romans use more realistic ways and make the body more round.

In ancient times, Greek statues had two general terms. The statue of a woman is called kore, which means girl, the statue of male is kuros which means youth. I do not know why women wear clothes or men are naked. The statues of Greece and Egypt are in the same position and one foot is in front of the other. The body is hard, facing the front, the body is not twisted; both sides of the fist are clenched. The format is considered traditional. Greeks and Egyptians are very traditional. According to some researchers, a pair of different human calves is a hieroglyph. The position of Egypt should be understood as a symbol. However, the Greeks interpret this gesture as a person standing in a resting state. They will continue to show off the skill of human image, and Kouros will become more realistic. The statue began to show a smile. This is called the old smile and has nothing to do with it!

The art of Greece eventually contains a life size statue like the character of Kouros. Attica's Koros is a typical early Greek sculpture dating back to 600 BC. From the early stage, Greek art has entered the ancient times. The sculpture of this era includes ancient smiles. This unique smile may indicate that the subject of sculpture already exists, or that the subject is blessed with God and is very good. Etruscan art was made by the Etruscan civilization in central Italy from the 9th to 2nd century BC. From around 600 BC, the Greek art imported by the Etruscans was greatly affected, but it still retains its distinctive character. Especially strong in this tradition are terracotta warriors (especially the size of stones and temples), mural paintings, and metaphorical processes, especially metaphorical sculptures of bronze.
