+ Geometric and Orientalizing Hero and Centaur Sculpture of the Geometric period is small scale, and the figures have simple stylized shape. This solid-cast bronze statuette depicts a hero battling a centaur- an early example of mythological narrative. Corinthians invented the black figure technique of vase panting in which artists painted black silhouettes and then incised linear details within the forms. This early example features Orientalizing animals. Vocab: Meander/ Key- pattern around the rim of the krater Dipylon Krater Geometric Krater.

The period closed with Alexander the Great, who ushered in the Hellenistic Age Corinthian column: created as way to solve problem with end columns and symmetry. More ornate than Doric and Ionic. Becomes increasingly popular and later influences Roman columns. Artists to Know: Praxiteles: more sensuous subjects; more female nudity, less symmetry; smoother modeling (Hermes and the Infant Dionysos, Aphrodite of Knidos) Lysippos: new canon with slenderer proportions; created pieces to be viewed from all angles (Apoxyomenos, Weary Herakles) Polykleitos the Yonger: constructed the finest Greek theater at Epidauros + Late Classical Battle of Issus: One of greatest paintings of antiquity. Captures psychological intensity and reflects the time period. Aphrodite of Knidos: Captures the sensuousness of Late Classical Greece. First nude god. Marble is transformed into soft and radiant flesh. Hermes and the Infant Dionysus: Humanized god. Characteristic s-curve. Apoxyomenos: New slenderer canon. Multiple angle view. Nervous energy. Epidauros Theater: Finest Greek theater. Accommodated 12,000. Renown for the harmony of its proportions. Open air acoustics and unobstructed views of orchestra. Situated in hillside. + Hellenistic The old market woman was consistent with the realism of much Hellenistic art. Unique because many Greek sculptures were of high status people or gods. Rarely are common people depicted in sculptures. Laocoon and his sons parallels the Hellenistic period because as you can see the Hellenistic period was very dramatic. Sculptures have a lot of detail and they show a lot emotion compared to prior Greek styles such as Archaic in which not much is idealized. This particular sculptures depicts a scene recalled from the Aeneid in which Sea serpents attack Laocoon because Laocoon tried to warn his compatriots about the trojan horse. •The Hellenistic age extends from the death of Alexander until the death of Cleopatra, when Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire. The great cultural centers of the era were no longer the city-states of Archaic and Classical Greece but royal capitals such as Alexandria in Egypt and Pergamon in Asia Minor. •In art, both architects and sculptors broke most of the rules of Classical design. At Didyma, for example, a temple to Apollo was erected that had no roof and contained a small temple within it. •Hellenistic sculptors explored new subjects—Gauls with strange mustaches and necklaces, impoverished old women—and treated traditional subjects in new ways– athletes with battered bodies and faces, openly erotic goddesses, Artists delighted in depicting violent movement and unbridled emotion. •Examples include: Seated boxer, Sleeping satyr, Venus de Milo (Aphrodite), Nike of Samothrace (Nike alighting on a warship), and Dying Gaul.
