This was amazing real informational program.
Thank so much to everyone who was involved and brought this to are screens.
Fascinating!
I simply cannot understand why so few people have viewed this amazing work. Please continue to post as much of your work as possible! Also: please would you consider reprinting "Gods in Color" as I had to pay £140 for a second copy and it is damaged.
The "horns" were probably hooks used to lift individual components by chain. Either removing them from the mold or to hold particular parts in place when assembling.
Exactly
Stunning work thank you very much.
where are the 2 recreated bronzes located now? there should be an attempt to recreate the other classical bronzes such as a Laocoon, Venus de milo, Apollo belvedere, etc.
The replacement eyeballs are slightly too big.
Thank you Vinzenz for the informative video on these two apparently linked ancient sculptures. It is a fascinating reconstruction process of casting, patina & gemstone application, for a realistic effect, that I wasn't aware of. Thumbs up!
Phenomenal! Thank you! 🙂
That's amazing reconstruction work of what the 2 statues would have looked like
I admire the handcraft shown, but this feels like a "Jesus on Velvet" attempt at the original... The complete mastery of subtlety is what makes the original incomprehensibly complex and emotive. The original has you thinking it's going to jump up and fulfill every kids "Clash of the Titans" dream/nightmare, where this new creation, especially the face looks like it could have been found on the clearance rack at Dollar Tree in February when it was placed there after Halloween.
It's a first attempt. Nowadays the tools, materials and methods are better but the people using them are totally different.
You're projecting the modern understanding of classicism onto classical art. We associate highlighting bright colors and certain details with cheapness mainly due to the invention of cheap artificial dyes. Those features required both high technical ability and expensive colors in antiquity. Look at clothing before the 19th century, the Hindu use of color in religious art and the painted reconstructions of ancient buildings.
When Germans talk about classical sculptures I think immediately about 2 facts: The Nazi Loot in the past, and the acquisition of the Pireo and the Greek railways nowadays. Even if all European Countries paid for the Greek debt, Doitchland was the only country that could cash in.
Incredible work
Excellent scholarship and recreation. In making the sculptures more lifelike you really did bring them back to life!
very nice
A wonderful recreation, so incredible looking!
A brilliant creation and video!
So where are they now?
currently on display in Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung Frankfurt (Germany), from July 2022 in Metropolitan Museum New York City. Thanks for asking!
@@vinzenzbrinkmann9259 very cool. The boxer is my all time favorite statue. Fortunately I live in Rome so he’s always close by. Very interesting to see the process. Wonderful job.
wtf all that and they didnt show them all set up in place as they will be displayed!
2:07 😂😂
That reconstruction does not look very good to me, to be honest. Those finishing touches are of no good service to the original sculpture.
The original looked so much better. I'm glad that you didn't modify the original, but the end result was not appealing. Perhaps the reproduction should've been attempted by more skilled types who are used to working with cast bronze. On another note for what reason do attribute this to the Greeks? It was found in Rome, not Greece and the identity of the boxer is totally unknown.
The answer to your question czcams.com/video/FvsSPJoJB3k/video.html
Yes, the reconstruction they did is an insult to the originals.
The eyes in the reconstruction look ridiculous.
Naja, die Augen wirken nicht so überzeugend
