Document Summary
Roman copies of a greek original by lysippos, portrait of alexander the great, original late 4 th c. bce: he does not look eternal as he has wrinkles on his forehead, but his curly hair makes him look familiar. This idea of absolutely idealizing alexander but not making him eternal, just giving him emotion. Alexander as an individual here is probably the first internationally recognizable face. ), dying gaul trumpeter, perhaps a roman copy of a bronze original of ca. 220: you can tell he isn"t a greek as his hair is more bushy, and his mustache is something we have never seen on any greek figure. He is shown nude, but they did not battle nude. This makes him more heroic, more like an athlete. His face has collapsed in pain, but his body has not. He is heroically holding himself half propped up. He looks quite muscular, quite dignified in death.
