The Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek, Lebanon, ca. 150 AD. This stunning Roman temple, still very well preserved, is actually larger than the Parthenon of Athens.

art history meme | 4/7 sculptures/other media: Winged Victory of Samothrace (Nike of Samothrace) (200-190B.C.)

The Nike of Samothrace, discovered in 1863, is estimated to have been created around 200-190 BC. It is 8ft (2.44m) high. It was created to not only honor the goddess, Nike, but to honor a sea battle. It conveys a sense of action and triumph as well as portraying artful flowing drapery through its features which the Greeks considered ideal beauty. It stood on a rostral pedestal of gray marble from Lartos representing the prow of a ship (most likely a trihemiolia), and represents the goddess as she descends from the skies to the triumphant fleet. Before she lost her arms, which have never been recovered, Nike’s right arm is believed to have been raised, cupped round her mouth to deliver the shout of Victory. The work is notable for its convincing rendering of a pose where violent motion and sudden stillness meet, for its graceful balance and for the rendering of the figure’s draped garments, compellingly depicted as if rippling in a strong sea breeze. The Nike of Samothrace is seen as an iconic depiction of triumphant spirit and of the divine momentarily coming face to face with man. It is possible, however, that the power of the work is enhanced by the very fact that the head is missing.

“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.” ― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“These two paintings, though very different, were hung as a pair when first displayed. War portrays Napoleon in exile on the island of St Helena. The isolated figure is neither demonised nor heroicised but suggests instead the futility of conflict. In verses attached to the canvas, Turner refers to the sunset as a ‘sea of blood’. Peace shows the burial at sea of his friend, the artist David Wilkie. The cool palette and saturated blacks convey the calm of Wilkie’s death, compared to Napoleon’s disgrace. Both works were roundly criticised at the time for their lack of finish.” - x
