Sarcophagus

took the general principles of an Egyptian sarcophagus and added Greek mythology to create a unique piece of Roman art and The Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior Women) is one such example. The Egyptians were the first to use a sarcophagus to bury and commemorate their dead, and judging from the war-themed artwork on this Roman sarcophagus, it was most likely built to commemorate the death of a great warrior. The Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and

The Joys and Sorrows of Mary (Life of Christ) and this art piece was created around 1375 to 1400 The artwork, The Joys and Sorrows of Mary (Life of Christ), was created in Late Gothic period. I am comparing The Joys and Sorrows of Mary and the Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus Organization: In The Joys and Sorrows of Mary diptych, the author utilizes gothic style, with lancet windows, pointed arches, and also seemed to be going for corinthian type columns. The author organized the art piece in a realistic

lifetime. The first artwork was a beautiful sarcophagus, the Sarcophagus of a Youth that is dated to be from the 5th-4th century B.C., created by the artist Phoenician. This sarcophagus was made for the burial of nobility.The sarcophagus was made from Parian marble with a form that was a blend of two cultures; the shape of an Egyptian sarcophagus with a classically carved Greek face. The Greek face has stoicism, meaning repression of emotion. The sarcophagus weighs more than two thousand pounds and

and the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons Sarcophagus represent why Dionysos was such an important and celebrated figure in mythology, which is why I chose to analyze two works of art that centered on him. My first impression of each piece was of Dionysos as a peaceful, benevolent and joyful figure. I was struck by the calm peacefulness he embodied in The Hope Dionysos and the happiness he shared on the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons Sarcophagus. Though there are many elements to compare and

2017). It was common for Christian art to display beardless men with short hair during that period. Jesus Christ was killed between 18 – 36 A.D. The four gospels recognize that Jesus died under the order of Pontius Pilate (ncregister, 2013). The sarcophagus shows 10 panels in the front that show a scene from the bible. Starting at the top and looking left to right it is displaying Isaac being sacrificed; St. Peter arrested; The roman God Caelus is enthroned

I visited the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on the 23rd of November. This museum is located in Denver, Colorado but its history starts in Breckenridge, Colorado. Edwin Carter moved to Breckenridge in 1868. Edwin Carter’s passion for wildlife and science shaped the beginning of a collection that would change many lives. Edwin began to collect and assemble three displays that primarily included birds and mammals, butterflies and moths, and crystallized gold. This passion was for the scientific

One of the most well-known cultures throughout all of history belonged to the Greeks. Their heritage was so highly valued that it lived on even after they no longer ruled. The Greeks were some of the most innovative artists of their time and their work was so inherently beautiful that people from future cultures fell in love with it and decided to incorporate it into their own customs. The most famous group known for this was the Romans. After the Romans took over Greece, their love for its customs

preoccupies the room due to its scale and the treasure of imageries engraved into the marble in both high and low relief which give the sarcophagus a special attention. There is interesting details about the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus because while it contains many images of Christianity, the Seasons Sarcophagus suggests a look at a specimen of a pagan sarcophagus, and the two fragments look indefinitely alike, the images they cover ultimately differentiates them. Moreover, the pair is in the center

different approaches. The Etruscan Sarcophagus with reclining couple from Cerveteri, Italy and the Mummy of Artemidorus from Roman Egypt are two examples of contrasting representations of the dead. When analyzing tomb sculpture one of the main questions is whether the work adapts a retrospective approach (presentation of the deceased as they were in life) or a prospective one (the viewpoint of looking forward to life beyond the grave). While the Etruscan sarcophagus gives a more retrospective memorialization
