Her great age and pronounced female forms quickly established the Venus of Willendorf as an icon of prehistoric art. She was soon included in introductory art history textbooks where she quickly displaced other previously used examples of Paleolithic art. Being both female and nude, she fitted perfectly into the patriarchal construction of the history of art.

Did you ever wonder why male figures in ancient Greek art are almost always nude? You probably didn't. It's something that we all take for granted, but it really is a curious thing. This is a famous sculpture because it is one of the oldest free-standing sculptures of a human from Ancient Greece.

The Greeks learned to quarry stone and plan the execution of large-scale statues from the Egyptians, who had been working very hard stones for centuries. The pose of the kouros, a clear and simple formula, derives from Egyptian art and was used by Greek sculptors for more than a hundred years.

I found one educational and one interesting resource for learning more about the ancient Venus of Willendorf. You can see the place where it was found and what it looked like. Then, you can decide to buy an 8-inch chocolate figure of it!

Archaic Greek Kouros As mentioned in the video from the series How Art Made the World, a critical moment in the history of Greek was the creation of monumental sculpture. This occurred around the year 600 BCE.

Paul Edoka, Cameron Davis, Johnson Dunham The Lion Gate is found in the citadel of Mycenae where it was the only entrance and exit out of the citadel. It was built in 1250 B.C. After the Lion's Gate there is a Gauntlet wall where intruders would have been pumeled with arrow and boiling oil.
