Top Ten

Sculptures are 3d forms of art made of materials that are casted, carved or molded out of clay, marble, jade, bronze, or wood. These are the top ten statues in history. They are Savanah  bird girl, Hermes, The discus thrower, Lady Justice, The Kiss, Ceasar Augustus, The Pieta, The Thinker, Venus De Milo, and Statue of David. Michelangelo revealed the statue of David in 1504 during the rennaisance period. Peita was also his creation made of marble. Pieta is a statue of Mary holding Jesus on her lap after he was crucifiied. The Thinker and the Kiss were sculpted by Auguste Rodin during the 20th century. It is said that the Thinker was origonally called The poet and was a sculpture of Dante Alighieri who was wrote the greatest Italian literature called Divina. I tired to read these poems but they are written in Latin and when translated are hard to understand like a Shakespeare play. The bird girl sat in the Bonaventure cemetary as a grave stone and was never noticed until 1994. A photographer snapped a picture of it for a book cover and adjusted the lighting to make it look like moonlight. This became the picture on the front of the novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Lady Justice represents fairness and law to us. Her name is Dike and she is the daughter of Zeus. She holds a sword and a scale and sometimes weres a blindfold in European countries.
