Kouros at the Met

Abstract: (5pp). This Kouros, is the focus of the Judy and Michael Steinhardt Gallery dedicated to Greek Art of the sixth century BC. It is one of the only complete early Kouroi outside of Greece to be seen, and perhaps the only one in America. Certainly, it is one of the most important and rare works of the art in the Metropolitan Greek collection. It epitomizes the early Archaic style, with its static posture, one foot forward, arms held tightly by the side, gaze straight ahead.
