I think the museum has displayed the art properly especially the Kouros because it is placed in the center where people can appreciate its fullness and presence. The female statue has been given a less prominent position in the museum compared to the Kouros maybe due to its size and composition.
I have chosen these two pieces of art because they have caught my attention and interest. Such intricate design and genius of a work is indeed something to be amazed about. Since I do not know much about the ancient civilization, seeing how they represent the human body and how precisely they have...

Art history...Art History Both now and in the ancient past, artists often took their inspiration from the artwork of the past. This is true whether one is duplicating or building off of what had been done before or reacting against the same. By comparing works of art from the Greek to the Roman periods, it can be seen that, while the two cultures shared a great deal of fundamental beliefs, they approached art from two different perspectives. The Archaic Period in Greece (roughly identified as the years between 600-500 BC) was a period of intense transition from the ‘old’ world styles of flattened figures and animorphed images combining the figures of animals and humans in different...

History US/PA 19th Century...Pro-slavery Americans justified a nation where ‘all men are created equal’ but where slavery existed in several ways. The first way was the saving the slave’s soul approach. Secondly the color issue was used; inferring rank in a society was due to race. Finally the argument of the well fed slave was used.

Compare and Contrast essay ( Art History through the 19th Century)...Art History: Madonna of the Meadows and Madonna of the Long Neck A great deal about the culture of an age can be deduced by comparing the changes that were taking place in art. This is better than just looking at a particular piece because it helps to put the images in context.
