This program focuses on the study of ancient Greek archaeology, particularly during the High Classical period, an era of significant artistic and political development in Athens. It delves into the life and works of Phidias, a prominent sculptor and supervisor of artistic projects under Perikles. The program examines the artistic style of this period, characterized by idealized human forms, and its representation of Athenian dominance. Students will explore Phidias' key contributions, including monumental chryselephantine statues like the Athena Parthenos and the statue of Zeus at Olympia, as well as his work on architectural elements such as pedimental marbles. The curriculum emphasizes understanding Phidias' style and its influence on the broader context of Greek art during the late fifth century BCE, highlighting his role in initiating and perfecting the High Classical Style. The program also touches upon the attribution of various works and copies, encouraging critical analysis of historical evidence.
