Winged Victory (Nike) of Samothrace
And we're looking at the "Nike of Samothrace," that dates to the second century CE, or after Christ.발음듣기
[Steven Zucker] It's called the "Nike of Samothrace" because it was found on the island in the north of the Aegean which is called Samothrace.발음듣기
It was found in a sanctuary in the harbor that actually faces in such a way the predominant wind that blows off the coast actually seems to be enlivening her drapery.발음듣기
[Steven Zucker] No, she stood on the prow of a stone ship that was within a temple environment.발음듣기
[Steven Zucker] In fact, there are some reconstructions of what the sculpture would've originally looked like that show her as literally a herald with a horn.발음듣기
And in its place is a kind of voluptuousness, is a kind of windswept energy that is full of motion and full of emotion.발음듣기
One can almost feel the wind around her, whipping her, pulling back that drapery that flows out behind her, swirling around her abdomen, where it really reminds us of, actually, the sculptures of hundreds of years earlier on the Parthenon frieze.발음듣기
But instead of the quiet, relaxed attitude of the gods on Mount Olympus, you have instead this sense of energy and a goddess that's responding, in this case, to actually natural forces.발음듣기
[Steven Zucker] Absolutely, just as we would stand there, very likely having the wind whip around us.발음듣기
[Beth Harris] And that drapery that clings to her body and creates so many creases and folds that play against the light, and the different texture of her wings - the marble is really made to do so many different things in terms of texture.발음듣기
