| 説明 | The Piraeus Apollo (530 – 520 BC) is life-size, our first complete example in a technique which we know had been practiced already for some years in Greece. The kouros type is adapted here for a cult image as it had been on Delos. The style sits uneasily with the Attic series, and the circumstances of its discovery do not demand Attic origin — with some other pieces in the find it may be from Delos. That scholars have thought it archaizing, or a copy of an earlier Archaic marble, is some indication of the problems it poses and of our continuing ignorance of high quality work in the more precious material. Considering the metalwork, we found the early bronzes cast solid, the originals being probably of wax, coated with a clay mantle to serve as mold. Early in the seventh century the model may be given a core of other material which can be worked out of the final cast, lightening it and saving bronze. The ultimate refinement is to make the core nearly the size of the desired figure, coat it with wax with finished detail to the required thickness of the bronze, then make the clay mantle, fixing it to the core with rods, melting out the wax, pouring in the bronze. This is the technique, still experimental, of the Piraeus kouros which yet encloses the iron skeleton on which the model was built. Its wrists and hands are solid and there is less use of inlay (as for the eyes, a practice well known in marble) than for most later, large bronzes on which a redder copper might be used for lips and nipples. Later too this “lost-wax” technique was refined with the use of piece molds.Source: John Boardman, “Greek Sculpture – The Archaic Period, a Handbook”Bronze sculptureHeight 192 cmHigh Archaic periodca. 530 - 520 BCFrom Delos [?]Piraeus - Archaeological Museum |
