Estátua de kouros

ca. 590–580 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 154
Este kouros (jovem) é anterior à maioria das estátuas de mármore de figuras humanas esculpidas na Ática. Sua atitude rígida, com o pé esquerdo que avança e os braços que pendem de ambos os lados do torso, é derivada da arte egípcia. Esta postura distinta e simples foi usada pelo escultores gregos durante todo o século VI a.C. As formas geométricas quase abstratas predominam nesta figura e os detalhes anatômicos são representados por linhas esquemáticas. A estátua adornava a sepultura de um jovem aristocrata ateniense.
