Ionic order

(Harris 2006, Neoclassical style). Each of the three Greek orders, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, are well represented. However, this paper will deal with the Ionic and Corinthian orders only and their presence in the city of Fredericton. Both the Ionic and Corinthian orders became highly popular and surpassed their Doric counterpart by continuing into the Roman period (Gates 2010, 220). Before the Corinthian order however, the Ionic order started to become well-established by 550 BC (Lawrence 1957

Doric Order which emerged around the late seventh century and was predominant in Greek temple constructions and major building; the most notable being the Parthenon in Athens. The Doric order is characterized by a plain column that rests on a stylobate that did not have a base. The columns are fluted and the square spaces in the vertical plaques and metopes are either painted or sculpted to provide decoration to the plain columns. The next style is the Ionic order. The Ionic order was developed

still used today. Doric, Ionic and Corinthian styles have their own characteristics, but, however they can look very similar. The Doric (sturdiest) was based on the proportions of a man. It was the first order and arguably the most famous Greek system used in today’s world. It seemed to have known base and has the simplest capital atop the fluted shaft. The Parthenon communicated the ideals of the order and harmony for what Greek architecture is known for. As for the Ionic it was lighter in character

architectural style most noticeable in the columns of Ancient Greek buildings. Although, further studies of the Parthenon showed that it also used some Ionic styles blended in with the Doric. As evidence of the innovative thinking of their people at the time, nearly imperceptible details were discovered especially in the temple’s columns in order to achieve illusions that would make them appear perfectly straight and symmetrical (Cartwright, 2012). The Parthenon is also lavishly decorated with various

Canon/Doryphoros. Like in many other ideal nudes, Hercules is depicted as a hero through his physique and actions. In this case, he is shown completing the first of his twelve labors. 2. A Greek or Roman architectural element This is a Greek Ionic column that was found at the Temple of Artemis at Sardis. It was made in the Hellenistic Period and stood at over fifty feet in its original location. The column has a fluted shaft and an ornate capital. The

The marble column from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis is from the Hellenistic period and can be visited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. It is part of the Ancient Greek exhibition. This column stands over fifty-eight feet high at the center of a room. Overall, it looks smooth and very large. At the capital, the delicate foliate is symmetrically decorated with fine details. The capital is slightly smaller than others found at the site, indicating that it does not belong to the outer colonnade

wide part of a structure that can be plain in the Ionic order. Friezes were highly customary in Attica. There were originally four friezes that ran along the sides of the building, unfortunately only one has survived. The one that survived is the one that runs along the east side of the frieze. The surviving frieze depicts Athena and Zeus along with all the gods surrounding them. The temple had a parapet surrounding it, which acted as a barrier in order to prevent people from falling off the bastion

The Parthenon has become a paradigm for Classical Style despite not having any true construction breakthroughs as a post and lintel constructed building. The style used in its construction, though, has influenced design since its making. (Ancient-Greece.org, 2017) The Pantheon, while Greek influenced and Roman distinctive, has also had a similar influence on architecture over the centuries. (Romanlife-RomeItaly.com, 2013) Both buildings represented their respective cultures from Greece and Rome and

THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS AT EPHESUS Molli Layton Art History 201 Dr. James Swenson June 2, 2017 The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus is a complex building with a complex history. Located in East Greece, the building underwent many changes, as did the surrounding Greek society. This paper will discuss the history, architecture, historical context, and sculptures of the temple. An analysis of it’s evolution will also be provided. The temple was built in mid sixth century BCE. The exact date of

all have one thing in common…columns. Columns originate from Greek architecture to support ceilings without the obligation of having walls, creating more space. Many of the different columns originated from Ancient Greece, three to be exact, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Doric columns have wider bottoms and simple capitals (capitals are the top part of the column)
