Summary
[edit]DescriptionEB1911 Greek Art - Types of Amazons (Michaelis.).jpg |
English: In our museums are many
Statues of Amazons representing 5th century originals have usually been largely restored, and it is no easy matter to discover their original type. Professor A. Michaelis has recovered successfully three types (uploaded here). The attribution of these is a matter of controversy. The first has been given to the chisel of Polyclitus; the second seems to represent the Wounded Amazon of Cresilas; the third has by some archaeologists been given to Pheidias. It does not represent a wounded amazon, but one alert, about to leap upon her horse with the help of a spear as a leaping pole. |
