Document Summary
Old egyptian figure the pharaoh mycanerous & his queen (c. 2450 bc) & New egyptian figure the pharaoh thatmoses iii (c. 1460 bc) Advanced left leg does not mean that the figure is walking advanced left leg actually shows determination and acts as an enhancement of the closed, frontal form. Figures are of ceaseless, unchanging permanence: kroisos kouros from anavyssos (c. 520 bc) Represents as far as the archaic age will go in terms of optometry. Athleticism of the figure implies action & a plot: kouros (c. 600 bc, kore in dorin peplos (c. 520 bc) Kouroi tended to be life size/over life size. Females were always clothed b/c greek feminine ideal did not include nudity (ideal greek female was the matron) located in the acropolis museum of athens. Peplos was relatively modest clothing (loose fitting blouse w/ tight fitting band) Found on the acropolis in athens, but was an offering/gift from the island of eos.
