Art museum classic shape Greek mythology marble Apollo greek god statue

Some people say that incompleteness is a kind of beauty, like the famous sculpture of the prow of the goddess of victory, and the marble sculpture of Venus of Milo, they will not become unknown because of their incompleteness. This Apollo greek god statue is also one of the classics. Apollo is the sun god in Greek mythology. This marble greek god statue is Apollo leaning on a stone pillar with a snake carving on the stone pillar. There is also a quiver behind the greek god statue, and the cloak behind him is placed on the arm, and the arm is in a posture of holding a bow. The bow is gone, but it adds a classic meaning to the greek god statue.

The early greek god statue in ancient Greece has traces of imitating Egyptian sculptures. But the sculptor is no longer satisfied with imitation, but strives to explore the structure and proportion of the human body with his own eyes, and create a realistic, natural and vigorous artistic image. At that time, the Apollo greek god statue, as a symbol of male beauty, was one of the artist’s favorite creation themes. “Apollo on the Watchtower” greek god statue is one of the famous one. The work portrays Apollo with the standard of idealized beauty, vividly portraying the posture of his arrow when he has left the string: his head is slightly raised, looking straight at the arm holding the bow in front of him, his eyes revealing the joy of victory. The sculptor showed Apollo’s graceful posture, well-proportioned limbs, and elegant form with skilled carving skills. The greek god statue highlights Apollo’s bright demeanor and heroic temperament. The composition of the whole work is stable and well-proportioned. Although the hands and forearms have been destroyed, it has not affected the overall harmonious beauty of the greek god statue.
