Description
Painting in Munich studio 2003.
Myron sculpture in the munich Glypthotek:"Drunken old woman clutching a big lagynos". "Marble, Roman copy after a Greek original of the 2nd century BC (200�180). According to Roman tradition, this famous statue type was credited to an artist called Myron."
Myron of Eleutherae (Ancient Greek: Μύρων) working c. 480 BC - 440 BC, was an Athenian sculptor from the mid-5th century BC.[1] He was born in Eleutherae on the borders of Boeotia and Attica. According to Pliny's Natural History, Ageladas of Argos was his teacher.[2] The traveller Pausanias noted that sculptures by Myron remained in situ in the 2nd century CE.
Myron worked exclusively in bronze,[3] and though he made some statues of gods and heroes, his fame rested principally upon his representations of athletes, in which he made a revolution, according to commentators in Antiquity, by introducing greater boldness of pose and a more perfect rhythm, subordinating the parts to the whole. Pliny's remark that Myron's works were numerosior than those of Polycleitus and "more diligent"[4] seem to suggest that they were considered more harmonious in proportions (numeri) and at the same time more convincing in realism: diligentia connoted "attentive care to fine points", a quality that, in moderation, was characteristic of the best works of art, according to critics in Antiquity.
