Document Summary
Lady of auxerre, 640 bc, limenstone, daedalic sculpture. The man or legendary who created this sculpture was named daedalic. We don"t know if she is a woman or a god since she is dress as a goddess but all representations of goddesses were woman. The only form to check is if they are in a higher ground. The hand in her chest is a gesture of praying indicating she is a statue that represent a dead figure. The idea of greek sculptures were white is wrong since you can find different pigments. The man are usually represented as a young naked man. They don"t usually have to be an image of the dead person but can also just be a representation of the artisan see him/her. The woman is also represented but always dressed. At this point marble becomes the median for the greek world.
