When I selected the artwork I wanted to compare, I came across a few options that I liked. I decided to choose Aphrodite and Eros as well as Filiform Aphrodite. Both statues are obviously meant to represent Aphrodite but they look completely different. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"? Get an original essay Aphrodite and Eros is a painted seven and a quarter inch tall terracotta statue. Some of the paint has worn off but the color remains. It was built in the 3rd century BC. Aphrodite is sitting, holding a winged child Eros in her left arm and a rattle in her right hand. The throne she sits on is quite plain and simple, but is a large size for a chair. Below her is a thick cushion on which she is sitting. His head is tilted down and to his left, looking at Eros. Aphrodite's hair looks like coarse strands pulled back, under a small cap. She is wearing a long draped dress and her feet protrude from underneath and rest on a small bench. His left foot is a little further forward than his right, almost representing the walking pose. His right arm is a little too large to be naturalistic, but otherwise his features are humanistic and naturalistic. Eros' face looks like it belongs on a porcelain doll and is quite stoic. The rattle that Aphrodite holds in her hand looks like a ball with a piece inserted inside it. The Filiform Aphrodite is a bronze statue made in the 4th century BC. Aphrodite is extremely elongated and her body and features are not naturalistic. The most naturalistic part of her is her face. His eyes are almond shaped and his mouth appears to be frowning or has a resting frown on his face. He has no ears, presumably they are covered by his hair which looks like he is wearing a basket over his head. Aphrodite's breasts and knees look like little peas attached to her body. His arms are attached to his sides and look like penguin fins. His feet look like a horse's hoof and the only representation of his clothes that he wears is a horizontal line right above his feet. She has no figure and no distinguishing features that truly identify her as a woman other than her pea-looking breasts. Both Aphrodite and Eros as well as thread-like Aphrodite are Greek sculptures representing the same Greek goddess. The hair of both Aphrodite figures is depicted tied back in a bun, under a bonnet or other headdress. In both sculptures Aphrodite is depicted with almond-shaped eyes and an oval face. In both works of art, Aphrodite has no recognizable toes on her feet. While we don't know the artist of any of the sculptures, we know that each artist was trying to tell a story. We know that their art represents the time period, themselves and the place in Greece. I think it's fascinating to see the difference between the two works of art that were created just one hundred years apart. Not only are the sculptures created in different mediums, but they don't even appear to represent the same person. While the thread-like Aphrodite is elongated like an elongated pole with a head, Aphrodite and Eros is clearly a woman recognizable only as Aphrodite as she holds winged Eros in her arms. Aphrodite and Eros are seated, while the thread-like Aphrodite is standing. Aphrodite and Eros were painted in fantastical colors and sculpted to show detail and a naturalistic appearance, unlike the thread-like Aphrodite who was intended to be simplistic with particular attention to her height, head and face. Aphrodite and Eros looks like it could be a real scene of a woman holding a baby. This is different from the Thread-like Aphrodite that she simply is.
