Grave Stele of Hegeso
(piano music) Man: At the end of the fifth century BC, the end of the very brief period that we call the high classical moment, there was a resurgence of funerary sculpture in Athens.발음듣기
Woman: In fact, we're standing in a room in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens that's filled with grave markers, most of them in the form of what our historians called stele or upright slabs decorated with relief sculptures.발음듣기
Interestingly, there was a disappearance of this type of monument during that high classical moment and then we see it reappear.발음듣기
Man: What we do have in the high classical moment is most of the great sculptors working on the sculptural program of the Parthenon and the other buildings of the Acropolis.발음듣기
Woman: Exactly. Before the classical period in the archaic period, there were kore and kouros, the male and female figures that were set up by the elite Greek families as funerary markers, but during the period of democracy in Athens, the state was primary and not wealthy families.발음듣기
Man: You see this resurgence especially in the cemeteries just outside of the city gates of Athens.발음듣기
Woman: That's where this particular sculpture was found, which is called the grave stele of Hegeso.발음듣기
Hegeso is the woman who is shown seated opening a box of jewelry presented to her by her servant and examining a necklace, which is no longer there, but which was once represented in paint.발음듣기
We see plasters on either side and a pediment above, on which we see an inscription, that says, "Hegeso, daughter of Proxenos."발음듣기
Women in ancient Greece led very circumcribed lives that were defined by their relationships with men.발음듣기
This is so much in keeping with the tradition of the high classical that we see in Parthenon sculpture.발음듣기
Woman: So this is a style that resembles very closely the kind of carving that we see on the figures on the Parthenon Frieze.발음듣기
Drapery that very closely follows the form of the body that creates elaborate folds and swirls that have a visual interest in their own right.발음듣기
The drapery that bunches up between her two arms and around her belly and between her breasts are beautiful passages of sculpting.발음듣기
Man: Her foot is resting on a foot rest so that there is no part of her is actually touching the ground.발음듣기
Look at the very delicate veil that falls to the right of the shoulder or the way in which the drapes around her legs fall on the far side of the chair.발음듣기
