Document Details : Title: Phrasikleia: Style, Drapery and Meanders Subtitle: A review article on Antike Plastik 28 Author(s): HEMELRIJK, J.M. Journal: BABESCH Volume: 79 Date: 2004 Pages: 197-210 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.79.0.504744 Abstract : This paper started as a review of Antike Plastik fasc. 28. It gives a short description of three of the four chapters, those dealing with Apollo Sauroktonos, with a colossal head of Heracles in Sparta, and with a well-known relief in Epidaurus. The first chapter, however, in which the fascinating statue of Phrasikleia and the kouros found together with her, are published by N. Kaltsas, asked for extensive comments and supplementary descriptions. This concerns drapery and folds, the uncut area around the feet under the skirt, the shades of colour seemingly visible in the excellent photographs, the structure of the meanders that decorate the garment, aspects of the sculptural style and, finally, the clumsiness of certain details, which may perhaps be attributed to a helpmate of the Parian sculptor Aristion (whose name is mentioned in the inscription recognized as belonging to the kore). |
