Art: Greco-Roman Statues

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

so I realized something.

one of my favorite hobbies (besides being sephiroths full time simp) is art history and learning about different art styles from many time periods. my favorite is and always has been the Greco Roman period. I was looking at Greco Roman sculptures a couple days ago, and as I was looking at these ones in particular.

I looked at these and i saw someone else in them.

like the side profile of this man screams Greco Roman to me with his sharper nose, strong chin, and full lips. especially head on too.

especially with the definition on the bridge of the nose and on the upper lip.

looking back on it, I think that these similarities between Greco Roman art and this beautiful man that has been a longtime figment of my childhood is what drew me in to playing more ff7 games that had him in it because of the fact he is the embodiment of my favorite art style 😘😘

Deserted by Eros, her lover, Psyche bemoans her curiosity and its consequences. Agitated yet demure, she is comforted by Pan, the otherwise frivolous god of nature.

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE VIII. GRECO- ROMAN ANTIQUITIES. POMPEIAN STYLE. DECORATIVE ARCHITECTURE.

THE purely decorative architecture, which we find represented on the inner walls of the apartments in Herculaneum and Pompeii, seems to belong less to the domain of reality than to that of fancy. Tradition attributes to the painter Lidius, in the time of Augustus, the invention of these architectural compositions, so elegant though so fantastic; and they are frequently intermingled with maritime scenes and landscapes, or animated by various figures. Executed by Greek artists, or by Etruscans working under their influence, they were highly appreciated by the Romans, who found in them the elegance and poetry of Greek art, in place of their own stereotyped forms of architecture, of which vaulted ceilings and arcades were the most striking characteristics. The principal subject of the plate is a painted wall from the Casa delle Suonatrici, taken from the great work of Zahn: Les plus beau, ornaments et les tableaux les plus remarquables de Pompei, d' Herculanum et de Stabice; Berlin, 1828-30. It is considered one of the finest of its kind. The two single figures have been added to the design; they do not exist in the original. One of them, that of the dancing girl, on the dark ground, was discovered in the Torre dell' Annunziata. It is the finest of the twelve figures which were found in the same apartment, and is similar to those which Pliny calls Libiclines. The little winged genius, with Bacchic attributes, which occupies the upper medallion, was found in the excavations at Civita. These two figures are taken from the great work of Mazois: Les ruines de Pompei ( 4 vols folio; Firmin Didot).

This is how Apollo appears to me sometimes; a canine-like being made of pure light, heat and energy. He looks almost as if he’s made of the same material as the sun itself, dense and warm and powerful. There have been a few times where he’s stayed with me through bad nights in this form, laying beside me like a gray-muzzled mastiff in hopes to keep me safe from my own illness. I know he’s capable of being burning and oppressively heavy like the star he rules, but it seems that, knowing how fragile I am in that state, he lightens and cools himself to protect me.

This is a devotional work made as a “thank you” for help recovering from a physical illness.

☀️Khaire Phoebus Apollo, you who works from afar, I thank you and praise you! May this offering please you!☀️
