Asia Minor Bearded Man Cities Classical Cypriot Cyprus Influence Limestone Persian Rule Statue Style Temple Absorption Golgoi Persian Empire Stone Sculpture Votive Offerings Western Coast
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable limestone statue of a bearded man, known for its significance as votive offerings during the classical period. Created around 475-450 BC in Cyprus, this Cypriot artwork stands at an impressive height of 64 3/4 inches (1645 cm), making it an awe-inspiring stone sculpture. The statue's historical context is equally intriguing. At the time of its creation, Cyprus had fallen under the rule of the Persian Empire, resulting in increased cultural and artistic contacts between wealthy East Greek cities and those on the western coast of Asia Minor. This influence is evident in the Greek sculptural style exhibited by this magnificent piece. Dedicated to a temple called Golgoi, this limestone statue reflects both religious devotion and artistic excellence. Its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship speak volumes about the skill and creativity prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also a testament to ancient civilizations' rich history. The absorption of various influences within this sculpture serves as a reminder that art has always been influenced by cultural exchange throughout human civilization.
