Art is something that I am interested in and a few weeks ago I made my way over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time. I am so interested in the many different types of artwork and how through time, we have evolved and it is represented through art. I noticed there was a section that contained sculptures of Greek art from around the same time as when Antigone was written. This drew my attention quickly because we read the play and sculptures can help illustrate what these characters wore, and looked like, giving me that visual. I have attached a picture of one of the sculptures I found most interesting out of the entire exhibit and that the true connection between this piece of art and the piece of literature would be the time period it was made. This is a Marble Head of an Athlete and is actually a replica of a Greek statue from 450-425 B.C. (where Antigone was written around 441 B.C.) Now there were many sculptures depicting this time period and I was able to get a feel for their characteristics, how they looked, wore, as well as how their body language interacted with one another in some larger pieces as well as Greek paintings. Although this is an athlete and Antigone was not an athlete, nor were any of the characters athletes in the play, I am able to still feel that connection between both pieces because since they are from the same time period, the minds creating them believed in similar things and ways of life and the depiction of this artwork can relate to others around its era.
