Was going through old photos on my Google Drive and I forgot I had taken this! This is a replica of a famous roman marble sculpture called "The Wrestler's" after a lost greek original of the third century BCE which resides in my hometown's district library. The original is in the Uffizi collection in Florence, Italy. It's quite amazing to walk all around it and take in the sculpting details. #romansculptures #classicalart #romansculpture #thewrestlers #wrestling #wrestlers #ancientrome #historicalart #romansculptures #olympicwrestling #marblesculptures #marblesculpture #hellenic #ancientgreece #ancientrome #olympicgames #greeksculpture🇬🇷 #greeksculpture #greeksculptures #ancientgreece🏛 #ancientgreece #hellenic #replicaart #replicasculptures #replicasculpture #artcopies #artcopy #uffizicollection #florenceitaly #florenceitaly🇮🇹❤️ (at Whanganui District Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSdMuJSkEK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

: Apparently I forgot to mention this rather curious place in Basel I came upon at the end of last year: . • SKULPTURHALLE Basel museums.ch/org/de/Skulpturhalle [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skulpturhalle_Basel ] . Formally being an affiliate of the Antiquities Museum [Antikenmuseum Basel] Skulpturhalle is a separately located gallery with a different concept - it combines a vast number of modern plaster-cast replicas [and 2-3 bronze ones] of famous classical sculptures, being produced in the 19th & 20th centuries for various purposes and displays across Switzerland. It's kind of amusing to see them all en masse in one place. . Posted are some cell cam snaps. .

Winged Victory of Samothrace

Winged Victory of Samothrace (200–190 BC). Parian marble, 244 cm. Louvre, Paris.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as the Nike of Samothrace, stands as one of the most celebrated sculptures of Hellenistic art. Discovered in 1863 on the island of Samothrace, this masterpiece dates back to the 2nd century BC. It is prominently displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, commanding awe with its dramatic and masterful portrayal of the Greek goddess Nike.

The Essence of Movement and Triumph: What immediately captures the viewer’s eye is the dynamic sense of movement and fluidity that the sculpture exudes. Nike appears as if she has just landed on the prow of a ship, her garments fluttering around her in a gust of wind. This sense of motion is not just a technical achievement but also serves to convey the feeling of triumph and victory that Nike embodies.

Anatomy and Drapery: The sculpture's anatomical precision is noteworthy. Although the head and arms of Nike are missing, the body's posture suggests a forward momentum, with the right leg stepping out and the clothes clinging to the form beneath. The intricacy of the drapery, with its deep folds and waves, contrasts with the smooth, bare skin, creating a play of textures that is both realistic and artistically expressive.

Symbolism and Context: The Winged Victory was likely created to commemorate a naval victory, as evidenced by its original placement on a ship-like base. The goddess Nike was a symbol of victory and success, and her depiction in this form was meant to not only honor the victors but also to inspire and uplift the viewers. The absence of her head and arms, while a result of the passage of time and damage, adds a sense of mystery and timelessness to the sculpture.

The Impact of Time: The Winged Victory of Samothrace is a testament to the lasting power of art. Despite its incompleteness, or perhaps because of it, the sculpture engages viewers' imaginations, inviting them to reconstruct the missing pieces in their minds. The weathered texture of the marble adds a layer of historical depth, reminding us of its journey through time.

Let's Discuss: What emotions or thoughts does the Winged Victory of Samothrace evoke in you, and how do you imagine this masterpiece in its original, intact form?

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, one of the most famous statues at the Louvre, graces the top of the monumental Daru staircase. This spectacular setting was carefully chosen to showcase the masterpiece of Greek Hellenistic art. Ancient sculpture meets modern architecture in one of the most emblematic spots of the museum. . The goddess of Victory . She seems to float through the air! The Winged Victory of Samothrace is one of the rare Greek statues whose exact original location is known. It was made as an offering to the gods for a sanctuary on the Greek island of Samothrace. Placed at a height, people could see her from afar. That is why, in a nod to her original lofty home, she now adorns the top of the Daru staircase. Nike, the winged goddess who heralds victory, is seen just as she is about to alight on a ship. . . . . #visitparis🇫🇷 #paristourisme #wheretogoeurope #wheretogoparis #wheretogofrance #gotoeurope #louvremuseum #freedome #parislove #visitfrance #visiteurope #travelparis #sculpture_art #sculptureart #classicsculpture #greekart #greeksculpture #ancientsculpture #parisart #wingedvictory #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgrCPYlMpFX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

: • ARTEMIS | Ἄρτεμις Goddess of the hunt, known as the 'Diana of Versailles' Marble Roman 2nd c AD. copy after the Leochares' original dated ca 330 BC. [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leochares ] . "This statue, the first significant antiquity to enter the French royal collection, is striking for the dynamic position of the body. The statue moved around with the French royal court: In Fontainebleau from 1556, it came to the Louvre's Hall of Antiquities in 1602, then went to Versailles in 1696 before returning to the Louvre a century later." [ ©Louvre ] . After all my visits to the Louvre, last time in January I finally took an op to consider my photo version of this masterpiece, since everyone takes pictures of it anyway. I hope this outlook of mine will add up some 'personalized' flavor to the image and its numerous other shots circulating in media. .

Carburundum grit aquatint collagraph, in 60 seconds! I love collagraph for the ability to make prints from trash--the technology is easy, leaving room to master subtleties of image making instead of focusing on complex chemistry. This is a process where you create a collagraph plate and print using evenly sized grit and wood glue. The glued down bits of grit grab onto and hold ink, and the glossy gloss releases it. It's a similar effect to aquatint, an etching process. The actual running through the press happens off screen. I haven't done this process in years, so it was fun to get back to it. I made this to teach someone and the finished video is a bit longer, but here's a version that fits in a shorter format

Heracles accomplished many more feats and labours during his lifetime. He served on campaigns, made war and dispatched numerous robbers and wild beasts. The are countless narratives and legends in which these doings can be found in various forms. But the hero’s death is associated with his fatal marriage to Deianeira, a match which he had decided on during his descent into the underworld, where he met her brother Meleager and promised to marry his sister. That agreement, made in a place like the underworld, proved to be decisive. It so happened that when traveling together, Heracles and Deianeira had to cross the river Euenus, where the ferryman was the Centaur Nessus, who lived nearby. Nessus rowed Heracles across first, and then came back for Deianeira. He attempted to ravish her - but Heracles, hearing her cries from the opposite bank, fitted an arrow to his bow and wounded the Centaur in the heart. Nessus decided to take his revenge. He told Deianeira that if she wanted to keep Heracles forever, she should make a potion out of his blood.

The grand dining room at the Tullgarn Palace, Sweden. Originally built during 1720s by Magnus Julius De la Gardie and later worked as a summer residence for the Swedish Royal family, it is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in Sweden including well preserved interiors from the period. The greek style marble sculpture is by Johan Tobias Sergel. Who the doberman is I don't know, but a wild guess it's a former member of the royal household...
