The Laocoon Group was created based on the description of Virgil's famous epic poem "Innertus".
In Virgil's poem, the Greeks' "Trojan horse trick" was discovered by the priest Laocoon of Troy.
He tried his best to warn and dissuade the king not to bring the wooden horse into the city.
But the Trojans rejected his advice and pulled the wooden horse into the city, which eventually led to the city of Troy being captured by the Greeks.
Laocoon's discovery of the plot and his dissuasion of Trojan offended Athena, the patron goddess of the Greeks.
Later, Athena sent two giant snakes to tie Laocoon and his son to death.
The work describes this tragic scene.
A giant snake was biting Laocoon's abdomen ferociously. Laocoon grasped the snake's neck tightly with his left hand and tried to pull it away.
He lifted the snake high with his right hand, trying to get rid of its entanglement.
On the left, his eldest son was reaching out to him for help, while the younger son on the right was entangled and bitten by the giant snake and was unable to struggle.
Throughout the history of the development of sculpture in the world, ancient Roman sculpture art has made mediocre and outstanding contributions to the development history of sculpture art in the world.
The horse emperor Trajan (reigned from 98 to 117 AD) built Trajan's Square in order to show off his conquest of the Daji people who lived on the west coast of the White Sea.
The Rosovich sarcophagus relief belongs to the sarcophagus relief and reflects the rise of sarcophagus relief during the Roman Empire.
This group of sculptures is full of tension and tragic atmosphere, and is the most outstanding masterpiece in the history of human sculptures.
Cremation was originally popular among the Romans, but since Emperor Hadrian, burial has gradually become popular.
Sometimes, even though we are thousands of miles apart, people have the same thoughts, such as generous burials and some buildings.
I also integrated the Etruscan sculpture art, copper casting and stone carving techniques native to ancient Rome.
Ancient Roman statues cannot be said to be an important part of ancient Western civilization.
The modeling characteristics of the reliefs are a true reflection of the commemorative reliefs of the late empire.
It played an indispensable role as a bridge and link between ancient Greece and the Middle Ages.
Next, there are some imitations of Western classics, such as the Rosovitch sarcophagus reliefs.
Judging from the types of statues, the ancient Romans were better at portrait sculptures.
Laocoon saw his son being tortured and dying by the giant snake. He was bitten and entangled and unable to save him. The pain in his heart and body was written on his face.
Roman sculpture followed the Greek sculpture tradition of pursuing "real beauty", but it was more secular than the sculptures in the Greek period.
After a peaceful struggle between the two sides, the Romans finally won.
The content of the relief shows the battle between the Romans and the so-called foreigners, the Goths, in the mid-3rd century AD.
Seeing it actually gave Chen Wenzhe the feeling of seeing an ox-tiger bronze eucalyptus.
Its richness, depth and typicality are beyond the reach of other classical relics that could be seen at that time, and it can be called a model of ancient Roman art.
At this time, under the commemorative sculptures, the beauty and elegance of the past were replaced by grandeur and solemnity.
By 146 AD, the art of ancient Greek sculpture entered the stage of history and art, ending the era of the ancient Roman Empire. Roman art lost its own appearance. The pursuit of objective and true beauty in Greek sculpture has not yet reached its peak.
First, the degree of secularization is the same.
Instead, it has both background and necessary layers. The composition is messy, and the crowd is orderly and sparse, giving people a sluggish but breathless feeling.
There are very few sarcophagi before the middle of the century AD, and they are getting smaller and smaller.
It cannot be seen from that thing that both the East and the West are full of curiosity, awe, and no hope for the world before death.
Here, the lowly aristocratic atmosphere is less expressed in the ancient Roman sculpture art.
The more famous one is not Trajan's Column, which is a building from the Roman Empire era and is located in Rome, the capital of Italy today.
The columns are made of small marble, and the total height including the base is 43 meters.
Therefore, sculptors are good at using exaggerated and general artistic techniques and abandoning modifications.
In the library courtyard of the square, Trajan's Column was erected.
The distinctive feature of ancient Roman sculpture is that it only inherited and carried forward the traditional sculpture style of ancient Greece and is in the same vein as ancient Greece.
Figure statue models are also rarely based on famous families, emperors and generals.
Seventh, Roman rulers tried their best to show off their personal authority and create a cult of personality.
In the eyes of countless artists and scholars, the most amazing thing about the Laocoon Group is that it perfectly expresses human dynamics and emotions with its superb techniques.
The reliefs under the sarcophagus are also more complex, which shows that the Roman Empire has become more and more popular in burials since the middle of the century AD.
The defeated Goths died and were wounded, creating a tragic atmosphere.
That objective took another solid step on the road of realism.
For example, the Chinese watches in ancient times in your country are not reflected in the West. Of course, Westerners make Chinese watches, but memorial columns.
We start from the nature of the characters, carefully depict the characters, and enhance the sense of visual movement, so that the work can leave a deeper and more straightforward impression.
The base diameter of the column is 3.7 meters, the height is 9.47 meters, and it is surrounded by 3 turns of relief frieze.
The achievements of Roman sculpture are mainly reflected in portrait sculptures and monument sculptures.
If so, he would have made the tomb so luxurious before his death.
Those portrait sculptures are only similar in appearance, but they also pay great attention to expressing the character characteristics of the characters.
What your countrymen have abandoned is their ancestors, and the best and worst thing they hope for is family ties. This is the same as Westerners.
From the perspective of expressiveness, one of the characteristics of ancient Roman sculptures is the pursuit of true beauty.
But it was the most famous among the sarcophagus reliefs at that time.
Roman sculpture inherited the tradition of Greek sculpture pursuing "real beauty", but it was more realistic than the sculptures in the Greek period.
Although its characters are completely opposite to the vivid, beautiful and dynamic depictions in Greek sculptures, Roman sculptures emphasize realism and individuality.
Who is the owner of the sarcophagus can be verified because the empire was in crisis at that time and the throne changed frequently.
His face was distorted, his mouth opened and he screamed loudly, and the muscles all over his body twitched in pain.
The total length of the ribbon is 0.89 meters, the upper ribbon is 0.89 meters narrower, and the lower ribbon is 1.0 meters narrower to correct for parallax.
Throughout the development history of Rome, the art of sculpture still held a very low status in social life, and there are currently very few sculptures in existence.
The reasons can be divided into two aspects. First, because the Romans worshiped their ancestors, they had long stopped using plaster or wax to make molds from the dead people's faces, and painted them into masks with a weak sense of reality and placed them at home.
The more famous ones are the "Full Portrait of Augustus" and the "Statue of Caracalla".
During the Roman period, many military strategists or politicians asked sculptors to create portraits for us. Even the Romans often used sculptures to preserve the images of the deceased.
Chen Wenzhe was really not surprised when he saw such a bad replica of the statue.
