>tfw you'll never be a roman, or an ancient greek, or a viking, or a swedish prince, or shake hands with Michelangelo

stone can't fight back and that's not a good thing

How did they make it so perfectly?

pornographic memory, its the reason you are able to remember entire pornos you saw when you was 13.

It's a real woman inside

What does it feel like to fuck a statue?

...

>How can flesh even compete?
Eyelashes, and if you ever see a statue with eyelashes YOU FUCKING RUN

They obviously had some woman in that pose off to the side you dumb cunt.

I'm talking about how they actually then turned a block of stone into that beautiful work of art

bags of sandstone

I mean look at the fingers pressing into her side, or the crown. It doesn't seem possible

I want to bury my face in that stone.

I just want to point out that this statue has a penis

Holy shit. Thats just amazing. Makes me want to go to a museum.

degenerate porn

I want to fuck that statue!

This one makes me shoot little cummies

Is masturbating over statues degenerate, Sup Forums?

>mfw I will never look like a chiseled Greek god

why even live

What I don't understand is how their faces were all the same. FOR. EVERY. STATUE.

Fucking leaf fantasizing about trapstues

Why change faces if you've achieved perfection

Shit was probably their beauty standard. You wouldn´t spend 3 years on sculpting some ugly whore, would you?

>you'll never be a swedish prince

How can statues even compete?

They focus on the body too much

The face is considered sort of irrelevant and any other grimace other than neutral face was probably too difficult

The original statue possibly wasn't as buff as the Farnese copy.

Wow even thousands of years ago the patriarchy was glorifying rape culture.

why the fuck would you wanna be a Swedish prince

to sex your females desu

What happened to the original?

Is there a fetish for this cause if there's not there oughta be

I regularly go to museums and jerk off to these

Yeah, statue porn brah
Of the classical persuasion

...

It's not a fetish if it's high culture.

...

During Baroque, sculptors started using drills to make elaborate and much more volumetric clothes.

I always loved the aesthetics.

is that you juncker?

Lost, as most greek originals.

A bunch of tools, skill, and a lot of time and dedication

If they were lost then how would he know how to remake it?

Is it his own idea completely or was there somthing that gave him a hint as to what it may have looked like?

No, I'm the alien ambassador he spoke about.

Underrated post

They use casting
Carve out the figure , fill it with molten bronze, let it cool and harden
Marble worked the same way but I forget what material was used originally

>How did they make it so perfectly?
Art used to be about skilled craftsmen making works of beauty.

...

How did they get good at it though?

I mean how could they practice enough to get good?

Those large chunks of stone were probably expensive and super heavy

Because that's just how amazing whites are. Other civilizations don't even come close.

So there were two halves that they put together?

Is this a classical/western art thread? Someone should post modern""""""""art"""""""" to contrast with it

>never
You can never be redpilled if you aren't

Kek. Why are English women so ugly?

You Earthlings still have art worth preserving. Remain and survive!

...

The originals still existed by the time Romans went ahead and copied them.

Most were probably destroyed by the Huns and other barbarians or the Turks.

Fun fact: Greek sculptures and architecture were painted vividly.

Shit feet desu
DELETE THIS

Lysippos (the original sculptor) with his workshop made mostly copies of his own work (around 1500 works total, only 50 of them were not copies). Also other sculptors copied his works even during his lifetime because fuck copyright. So there was plenty of stuff for the Romans to copy from, even if the original might or might not have been lost at the time the Farnese copy was made.

poland can

femism

>started using drills
Confirmed for not knowing shit about classical art
Etruscans invented fucking drilling for sculpting

Why were the Greek ones lost but some of the Roman ones weren't?

>tfw you learn Greek statues were coloured like the most flamboyant fag shit ever

Basically
Most bronze standing statues re actually multiple parts(head,arms or hands, and legs with torsos)
Marble usually managed to be one chunk though(the fun ones were crafted by hand though)

islam

the same way you get good at anything, get trained directly by people who know their shit, watch them create and learn from them

sculpture was, for centuries, the main "media" and way of preserving culture, history and tradition, as printing press didn't get invented until the late middle ages, thus making the profession a lot more esteemed than it is nowadays, and ensuring there were always people, everywhere with the knowledge of it

I don't know how much stone cost throughout history but I doubt the sculptors ever had to pay much of it from their own pocket since art was usually commissioned

Porn was hard to come by when I was a kid so I sometimes masturbated to Southern Living magazines and Renaissance art books that my parents had.

Bronze originals were melt down to reuse as other stuff. In general, Romans made a lot of copies, so statistically you're more likely to find one of those copy than an original.
Also although they are technically "roman" many were made by Greeks anyways.

delete this ugly filth

>mfw The best woman are made out of marble ot oil paint
Why even live?

Back in those days, homos hadn't ruined colorful things yet. Having a lot of color on a statue, or on clothes, etc, helped brighten things up a lot. And some colors were much harder to produce than others, making them really nice when you saw them.

w/e nerd
[spoiler]Didn't know that, though they didn't use it as extensively the guys after them, right?[/spoiler]

Also, I bet a lot of lesser known Greek sculptures were later attributed as being made by Romans, even though they were just copies.

Drills have been used in sculpture since the bronze age. Egyptians carved soapstone and porphyry using drills in the middle kingdom period.

Yeah, the only time I really respected the Italian Renaissance artists is when they thought painting sculptures was retarded and went natural
What's even more sad is that even when the Greeks freelanced for all the ancient eastern empires before Greece was even a power they still painted everything in garbage colors(fucking Lamassu were vomit worthy when painted)

>oil paint

Yeah we will never know for certain, kind of sad.

>Posting romanticised fatties drawn up by homo Italians
Kill yourself
There are infinitely better looking Renaissance art of normal sized women instead of fuckcows that never existed in almost any capacity

Most of those sculptures were created by African slaves.
