  6. Classical Copy of Myron's Discobolus Roman Marble Sculpture450 BCE • Shows a man throwing a discus-a real life activity • Pose is balanced • Features are calm with no emotion • Body is perfect and idealized • Little sense of background

  7. Medieval • Subjects are mostly religious • Figures are flat/stiff looking • Saints in paintings wore halos around their heads • Hieratic scale: representing the sizes of things according to their importance, rather than how they would appear in the real world. • Little emotion • No background or perspective

  8. Narthex Tympanum, AD. 1120, sculpture • This sculpture was made to fit into an arching space, called a tympanum, over the entrance doors to a church in France in about A.D. 1120. • Bodies were not important for their own sakes to this artist, and the figures do not try to look like real bodies. The artist wanted to make a beautiful pattern on the flat stone that would also fit the space of the arch, and he wanted to convey a religious meaning.

  9. Renaissance • Perspective • Subjects are mainly secular, but can be religious • Figures look idealized, but can also look like everyday ordinary people • Bodies are active • Clothed or unclothed • Faces are expressive • Detail The School of Athens Raphael, fresco, 1510 Vatican City
