Abstract

With his broad shoulders and narrow waist, as well as his neat hairstyle (short in the front, long in the back), this bronze figurine illustrates the influence of Greek sculptural art in Etruria. In Archaic Greece, the kouros (“youth”) reflected the ideal male beauty – nude, noble and athletic. Greek kouros-type sculpture, with its stiff pose – arms along the body, straight legs and left foot stepping slightly forward – was itself inspired by Egyptian artistic tradition. This charming bronze statuette is therefore an example of the interconnectedness of the ancient world.
