33
what does barringer say about this statue
“The careful rendering of muscle, flesh, and bone structure animate the god’s concentrated visage in spite of the absence of the original in-laid eyes. The god’s long hair is braided and tied up offering a venue for the sculptor to display his impressive skill in metal chasing.”
34
what does metroplos and snook say about this statue ?
“A key limitation of the sculpture is that the figure’s head appears to be more youthful than its body. The face is so idealised that it is devoid of any expression of even life. This suggests that Polykleitos’ focus was on the body.”
35
what does bordman say abouth this statue?
this kouros is particularly “pattern conscious” and is carefully finished. The statue’s details are designed almost as independent patterns – the volute ears, beaded hair and the grooves on the front and back of the statue. But the patterns are not realistic – they don’t look like real bones and muscles.
