This resembles a composite order prostyle temple from the Roman Empire, with a facade like that of the Pantheon. The colossal Corinithian columns are topped with an Ionic frieze within the entablature, followed by a massive frieze inside the pediment. The dentils are also common to multiple parts of the Greek and Roman architectural periods.
It's amazing the things six weeks in Art History can teach you.
bravo Elise, bravo... very nice evaluation. but i thought you were failing history with a B+.
what about the people in the picture. aren't they accounted for? don't you think they personalize the the Greecian monstrosity with their frozen movement? never forget the people! NeVEr!
You're right. The people in the pedimental sculpture are important. In early Greek work, people were shown in unrealistic poses and with a frozen smile, even though they seemed to be in pain. Later, though, features were idealized and eventually exaggerated, as in the Hellenistic period, exemplified by the piece "Lacoon and His Sons". Roman sculpture basically followed these rules, but focused more so on portrait heads rather than bodies.
I got an A in ART History. It's regular American government history that I have the B+ in, and I don't think it's that bad, certainly not failing. I got enough grief over that from my own family.
Sorry elise! and i was showing how ridiculous it is to make a big deal of a B+ when it is so far from failing! its good. and it seems that you really enjoy art histroy. thats excellent. your proffesion should be an Art Historian, you do an superb job.
