1 Temple of Aphaia West Pediment Dying Warrior By Alexander Fribbins L6C

2 Basic information Length: 5’2 ½ ft. Currently at: Munich Side of Pediment: Right side (Trojan side) In the round Marble (Obviously) Early 5 th Century, was created in 490BC Holding an Arrow which is in the Mid-Torso.

3 Context Context: The Warrior has been hit in the Mid Torso with an arrow, the West Pediment commemorates the second battle between the Trojans and the Greeks. (The Statue is rumoured to be a Trojan Warrior)

4 Musculature The dying warrior is a prime example of evolving Archaic sculpture. Shows Evolution of Musculature Muscles are moulded which would create a sense of idealism, but also realism. Idealism would create the personification of a Hero

6 Emotion Emphasis of Emotion on the smile. -A contradiction as he has been hit, but is calm. -Contrasting emotions as his muscles are tense, not really to the environment. -Over all it exerts a godlike personality, due to him realising he is dying like a hero

7 My opinion The different Pediments are amazing for Archaeological analysis such as on the Dying Warrior as both were created ten years apart. This means the dying warrior on the west Pediment emphasises the evolution of the technique on statues and the way they portray the personality of the sculpture from Archaic to Classical (aka smile), this includes the beaded hair (looks like sausages) and also the evolving classical pose, which has broken free from the Kourai poses.

8 Flaws of the Dying Warrior Muscles do portray a sense of Idealism but does not present realism Eyes out of proportion (Basically all the Kourai flaws) Not as realistic as the East Pediment as it was made later on Left foot should not be pointing straight but in the air, hence my view of it being unrealistic
