Aeolis, Archaic Sculpture

Aeolis, Archaic Sculpture (19/1/2006 v.1) Αιολίς, Αρχαϊκή Πλαστική (14/10/2005 v.1)

Although the archaic sculpture of Aeolis is not thoroughly investigated, it seems that the region had developed its own, original style, which was expressed in both architecture and pottery as well as in toreutic art. The centres of production were Myrina, Cyme, Pitane and Lesbos and this form of sculpture was closely connected with the archaic sculpture of northern Ionia, while it influenced the sculpture of both mainland Greece and Magna Graecia.

One of the best known sculpture schools of the Roman period flourished in Aphrodisias. Works from the city’s artistic workshops found themselves scattered in various parts of the Roman Empire.
