Friday, December 06, 2002And since I'm on the topic of archeology, I'll share this exhibit of Greek artifacts from southern Italy that we went to last weekend. Unfortunately, the website doesn't include the most striking exhibits - statues of Aphrodite and Eros that called to mind later images of Madonna and Child and a statue of Eos carrying away the body of her dead son that bore a striking resemblance to the Pieta. (Clarification: The above links aren't to the same works that were in the exhibit. The exhibit statues were much more primitive and had more similarities to early Christian statues than to Renaissance art. I just couldn't find examples of the more primitive work.) posted by Sydney on 12/06/2002 06:25:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
