A detailed analysis and of Olmec art

Arts
1 answer:
DENIUS [597]2 years ago
5 0

Between 1200 and 400 B.C., the Gulf Coast states of Veracruz and Tabasco in Mexico were the setting for a major cultural and artistic florescence among peoples now collectively known as Olmec, named after the Aztec word for the region (Olman, “place of rubber”). Olmec art is best known for colossal sculpture in volcanic stone and intricate works in jade, both media that were imported from faraway regions. Olmec artists were revolutionary for their time, establishing the first major widespread styles in Mesoamerica, laying the foundation for later innovation from the central Mexican metropolis of Teotihuacan south to the Maya area.

After the spread of maize agriculture in the Early Formative period (ca. 1800–1200 B.C.), people in the river valleys of Olman cooperated to construct monumental earthen platforms and mounds at the site of San Lorenzo, Veracruz. More research is needed to know about the society at San Lorenzo: for example, what they ate, where they lived, what they believed. They shared the common goal to invest in major building projects, engineering structures and creating large gathering spaces that transcended the functional needs of daily life. Evidence from the nearby site of El Manatí demonstrates that people were creating sculptures out of wood and stone early in San Lorenzo’s history. Rubber balls found at El Manatí are also some of the earliest evidence for the importance of a ballgame to Olmec peoples.

Briefly describe similarities between the art and philosophy of ancient Greece and the Renaissance.
inn [45]

Answer:

Well, both do have similarities and differences. Both seem to be the time when the roots of modern society would be formed, however, their ways on how it was done were different.

First let’s see about what Ancient Greece has done. It founded the idea of governing a country using democracy with Athens being the city-state that first did that. Ancient Greece also had one of the most notorious and well recognized warriors ever being the Spartan soldiers with king Leonidas and his 300 Spartans holding out in a narrow path in Thermopylae. Philosophy was a major influence in Athens with philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Also, religion was a major factor in the influence on Rome with gods like Zeus, Saturn, Ares and Mars. And with the Greco-Persian War, the Greek city-states, being mostly independent were able to unite against the Persians, which they were at the time a big empire like Alexander the Great.

Now let’s see about the Renaissance. Unlike Ancient Greece, it influenced almost all of Europe due to migration. Also, art became a work from celebrities because colors like red and purple were expensive to get and were used on paintings by people like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The Renaissance has had people divided like Ancient Greece but not by city-states, rather by noble families like the Medici family from Florence. It sparked in one place and then started to spread, with Florence being the city that starts it all. Lastly, religion was a major thing from the Renaissance by influencing art and eventually leading Martin Luther to write the 95 theses, thus sparking a division in Christianity with now having Lutherans, Catholics, Christians, Orthodox and Protestants. There are more things from the Renaissance, but it is a long list.

It seems that both have a great influence on religion, having from a lot of gods and goddesses to one god and his son with his followers, but both people from both places were influenced greatly by religion by expressing it on art. Another is the way on government with, in the Renaissance having monarchies all throughout Europe and in Ancient Greece Athens being the first city-state to be governed by a democracy. Aside from those, that is all what is needed to be known.

Your welcome :)
