Can anyone please artistically analyze the sculpture of Apollo (greek myth) playing the guitar?
You do not say which sculpture you want analyzed.The God Apollo, patron saint of Music and Poetry, played the lyre – which could be though to be the prototype of the guitar. . And there are a few Roman copies of Greek sculptures of him playing this instrument. See S 5.6, S 5.7 and S 5.8 at http://www.theoi.com/GalleryS1.html If you click to enlarge you will see which museum collection they are in. These are all typical copies of Greek sculptures. How do we know this? Because the Greeks idealized the human form (the Romans showed realistic and often ugly details). This should be your main point in analyzing any of these depictions of Apollo read http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/roma… particularly para “It is sometimes hard to tell — ” The myth of Apollo at http://
