The
Cycladic islands of the Aegean were first inhabited by voyagers from
Asia Minor around 3000 BCE and a certain prosperity was achieved thanks
to the wealth of natural resources on the islands such as gold, silver,
copper, obsidian, and marble. This prosperity allowed for a flourishing
of the arts and the uniqueness of Cycladic art is perhaps best
illustrated by their clean-lined and minimalistic sculpture which is
amongst the most distinctive art produced throughout the Bronze Age
Aegean. These figurines were produced from 3000 BCE until around 2000
BCE when the islands became increasingly influenced by the Minoan
civilization based on Crete.
Small statuettes were sculpted from
local coarse-grained marble and although different forms were produced,
all share the same characteristics of being highly stylized with only
the most general and prominent body features represented. The earliest
examples were produced in the Neolithic period and were made until
around 2500 BCE.
Bronze high quality reproduction.
