Characteristics of Garden Statuary in Archaic Greece

Characteristics of Garden Statuary in Archaic GreeceCharacteristics Garden Statuary Archaic Greece 455278156.jpg Archaic Greeks were well known for developing the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Kouros figures, sculptures of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the greater part of the sculptures. The kouroi were believed by the Greeks to typify beauty and were sculpted with one foot leading and an uncompromising firmness to their forward-facing poses; the male statues were always strapping, brawny, and undressing. Life-sized versions of the kouroi appeared beginning in 650 BC. The Archaic period was an amazing point of change for the Greeks as they grew into new modes of government, produced fresh expressions of art, and gained insights of the people and cultures outside of Greece. The Arcadian battles, the Spartan invasion of Samos, and other wars between city-states are good examples of the kinds of clashes that arose frequently, which is consistent with other times of historical transformation.
