Estatua de un kouros

ca. 590–580 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 154
Este kouros (joven) es anterior a la mayoría de estatuas de mármol de figuras humanas esculpidas en el Ática. Su actitud hierática, con el pie izquierdo que avanza y los brazos que penden a ambos lados del torso, se deriva del arte egipcio. Esta clara y simple postura fue repetida por los escultores griegos durante todo el siglo VI a. C. Las formas geométricas casi abstractas predominan en esta figura y los detalles anatómicos se representan con líneas esquemáticas. La estatua decoraba la sepultura de un joven aristócrata ateniense.
