    I dont know if I'm the first with the idea, but I was just having a look on familiy's photographs and saw these beautiful Greek sculptures.
    My fave ones:



    Sculpture of Aphrodite, Eros and Pan, dates to ca. 100 B.C. Found in Delos

    Apollo and Daphne is a baroque, life-sized marble sculpture by Italian Gian Lorenzo Bernini, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. It was inspired by one of the stories included in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

    I actually got this on my anatomy book..and also saw it on urology one.
    The Discobolus of Myron ("discus thrower" Greek Δισκοβόλος, "Diskobolos") is a famous Greek sculpture that was completed towards the end of the Severe period, circa 460-450 BC.


    The Venus Kallipygos or Aphrodite Kallipygos (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος), also known as the Callipygean Venus, all literally meaning "Venus (or Aphrodite) of the beautiful buttocks",[1] is an Ancient Roman marble statue, thought to be a copy of an older Greek original. In an example of anasyrma, it depicts a partially draped woman, raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, perhaps to evaluate them. The subject is conventionally identified as Venus (Aphrodite), though it may equally be a portrait of a mortal woman.

    Doryphoros of Polyclitus, Roman copy in marble of bronze original, c. 450-440 B.C.


    Such beautiful features..

    I love anything by Kris Kuksi! Amazing detail!











    I sure hope they count as sculptures.

    I admire Greek art and their canon of beauty. From an aesthetic POV, I'm much more Hellenic than Latin. I particularly love Caryatids, the women-columns.




    From my ancestors, the real Iberians, I choose the Priestess/Queen Lady of Elx.



    Original probable colors:




    Yet if I should choose one single sculpture out of so many options, nothing will ever beat Michelangelo's Pietà for me. When you fuse classical and Renaissance beauty into one, when you know how to move with a piece of rock, that's art, no need for words.

    I love Gothic sculpture. My favorite pieces at the moment are probably those surrounding the entry to Notre Dame:

    Another Piedad of unquestionable value is the one settled at Franco monumental mausoleum (shared with Jose Antonio and thousand of Civil War victims from both sides). I was there when it was a child and the whole recint is a work of undebatable magnificence.

    I like the Celtic sculptures known as Verracos, they are found all over the center-west of Iberia :

    I love a bit of Socialist-Realism.

    Vera Mukhina's famous little duet is always seen at the beginning of the best films;


    At the 1937 World Fair in Paris;


    Back home in Moskva;


    The author;


    I like the lesser known little pieces too;
