Summary
[edit]DescriptionGreat Goddess (3309885124).jpg |
This impressive piece (height 1,40 m.), which can justifiably be classed as a statue, is distinguished by clear outlines, perfect proportions and plasticity of forms. Latent movement, indicated by the higher left hip and corresponding shoulder and culminating in the slight inclination of the head to the right, infuses the figure with an air of mystery, establishing it as the distant precursor of the monumental sculptures of Archaic times. It is precisely these traits which differentiate it from the corresponding work in the National Archaeological Museum. There is no doubt that this is the work of a great and gifted artist who managed to express in marble the awe inspired by the Great Goddess, shrouded in mystery. It is perhaps a cult statue which stood in one of her unknown shrines, for it is unlikely that it was a grave good. Cycladic Art Museum, Athens, Greece. --- Σαφή περιγράμματα, τέλειες αναλογίες και πλαστικότητα μορφών χαρακτηρίζουν το επιβλητικό αυτό έργο (ύψους 1,40 μ.) που άνετα μπορεί να διεκδικήσει τον τίλοι του αγάλματος. Μια λανθάνουσα κίνηση που επισημαίνεται με την υπερύψωση του αριστερού γοφού και του αντίστοιχου ώμου και κορυφώνεται με την ελαφρά κλίση της κεφαλής προς τα δεξιά, προσδίδει μυστήριο στη μορφή και την καθιερώνει ως τον πιο μακρινό πρόδρομο των μνημειωδών έργων της αρχαϊκής πλαστικής. Είναι ακριβώς τα γνωρίσματα αυτά που κάνουν το έργο να ξεχωρίζει από το αντίστοιχό του Εθνικού Αρχαιολογικού Μουσείου. Αναμφισβήτητα πρόκειται για έργο μεγάλου και δυνατού καλλιτέχνη που κατόρθωσε να εκφράσει στο μάρμαρο το δέος που του ενέπνευσε η Μεγάλη Θεά του και το μυστήριο που την τυλίγει. Ίσως να πρόκειται για το λατρευτικό άγαλμα σ' ένα από τα άγνωστα ιερά της. Μάλλον αποκλείεται να ήταν ταφικό κτέρισμα. Μουσείο Κυκλαδικής Τέχνης. Αθήνα. |
