Summary
| Description |
English: Just as the sculptures of the Parthenon are the best monument of Pheidias, so it might seem likely that the sculptural decoration of the great temple which contained the Hera of Polyclitus would show us at large how his school worked in marble. Unfortunately the fragments of sculpture from the Heraeum are few. The most remarkable is a female head, which may perhaps come from a pediment (uploaded here). But archaeologists are not in agreement whether it is in style Polyclitan or whether it rather resembles in style Attic works. |
