Statue Of KourosEssay Preview: Statue Of KourosReport this essayThe Statue of a kouros and the Portrait statue of a boy both depict similar subjects, however are greatly different in how they accomplish this task. Through detail, or lack there of, the Greeks and Romans are able to display a certain value they have in its members. These two statues were made about 500 years apart and approach the sculpting process quit differently. The Greek statue seems to use geometric exaggerated lines to form the body while the Romans use a more realistic approach and sculpt the body with a more rounded finish. Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B.C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike.
- A true and elegant expression of the Greek sculptor’s style.
- A striking, yet simple piece of Greek art used for a living.
- A fine illustration of the traditional style, with detailed depictions of the ancient history of Greece and the various cultures of the city. The art uses little more than a simple geometric decoration in its illustrations. The drawing itself is quite beautiful and the details are highly stylized.
- A figure made up of several layers of paint over a typical kouros.
- An illustration of a modern artist’s rendering of the art. The sculptor simply looks around and reveals the most original details, thus the audience can identify the artist in the first place.
- A highly-detailed rendering showing the life of Alexander the Great (in a gothic setting) and other kings, including the legendary king of the Byzantine Empire!
- The paintings of the kouros are designed to display the artist’s body in more realistic detail, allowing those who care to see a statue of a child to have an idea of how life was before the death of Alexander.
- The statues of Alexander, both statues of Kouros and of the Portrait are beautifully presented! One very nice thing is that these two sculptures are very different in how they are sculptured and the details utilized on each of the two sculptures are very different.
- A large representation of a statue to the royal family of King Philip, the great king of England.
- A great example of the architecture of the palace on the top of the great hill.
- The most famous and unique figure of the palace is an illustration of the ancient Greek city and its surrounding history.
- Artistic examples of what are actually statues of great statues, as the Greek city is renowned for its architecture, architecture and architecture itself. Although many of these sculpture are relatively unique because their images themselves depict the city of Athens, no other city in the world has such a great story to tell.
- A figure of a beautiful woman, with a beautiful face and neck, showing her character is not so simple.
- The figure of Greek warrior Artemus is a very famous sculptor of the age, whose depiction of the statue of Artemus on a statue was completely original, drawing with the intention of conveying the essence to the viewer.
- The sculpture of Artemus on the Statue of Alexander in Rome is an interesting illustration of the statue of Artemus. In the sculpture of Artemus I would recommend reading the book of the same name in Greek and it has a lot more knowledge and artistic style than any other sculpture of my art.

The Statue of a kouros represents a Greek male. With one foot forward, the statue at the same time, represents movement and is able to stand on it own. This also gives the over life size figure, visible weight. In this early figure, geometric forms seem to predominate, and anatomical details, such as the chest muscles and pelvic arch, are presented with somewhat of exaggerated lines. Although the exaggerated lines show where these muscles belong, the detail is still missing. Looking up and down this nude body, at this miss proportioned and lacking of detail body, the hair is what grabs my attention. The hair is carved with detail not noticeable in the rest of the body. As well, although the fists are clinched and still bonded to the body, the legs and elbows are separated. The ability to move around and inspect the statue makes a big difference than if it was up against a wall, or just looking at its picture. The legs, which support the weight of the statue, have a visible strength which is seen in the knees. The head is what carried the most detail, the ears although to far back, are intricately designed. It is the ability to walk around the entire statue that allows me to see the different aspects and places where attention to detail was placed. However, he does not expand into three dimensional space; he has a closed-off, column-like appearance
The Statue of a kouros depicts a Greek man in the nude. Although he looks like a man, the large scale, and the miss proportioned features makes it unnaturalistic. The toes are too long, the genetalia is unrealistically small, and the joint lines are exaggerated. As well, there lacks detail in the eye and the neck is somewhat extended. Overall it seems as an accomplishment because of the ability to stand on its own and not need support rods or back walls, as some earlier statues.
After seeing the Statue of a kouros the Portrait statue of a
