Cycladic Marble Figurines

In the history of the Olympic Games sculpture played a decisive role. The most beautiful sculptures inherited from antiquity are of athletes which perpetuate victories in Panhellenic games. This year's return of the Olympic games to their country of origin, Greece, has inspired Greeks to give once again to this major event its initial, moral and artistic dimension. The founding of the Cultural Olympiad of the 2004 was based on these grounds.

The marble figurines displayed here are mainly replicas of the "Cycladic Civilization" and are exhibited in all the Museums of Greece and abroad. In ancient times, Greeks used marble to create their most important monuments. For the Greeks, marble resonated strength , durability , elegance and beauty .

The most striking characteristic of Cycladic sculpture is its geometric, two-dimensional nature, which has a strangely modern familiarity. However, while modern art attempts to estrange itself from artistic complexity, the Cycladic artists made obvious attempts to represent the human form. Therefore, Cycladic sculpture can safely be called the first truly great sculpture in Greece.
