VPHB52H3 Chapter Notes -Acroterion, Exekias, Black-Figure Pottery
Document Summary
Athens in 480bc the head is turned slightly and the weight has shifted to his back leg: physical changes are small, but the statue has come to life, had to make four radically new drawings. It would be easier to experiment with a new pose if the statue were cast in bronze instead of carved from metal. Walk around and change as he went along, then cover the model with a clay mould that is strong enough to withstand molten metal. The wax is then melted out, and molten bronze is poured into the gap to fill the gap that has emerged between the mould and model. After the bronze has cooled, the mould was chipped away and the bronze figure was smoothed and finished. Doric order: there was one triglyph over each column and one between each pair of columns.
