FOLLOW THE ARTIFACT:

The GOLDEN GLOBE

Our project is centered on art throughout the Golden Ages. This includes Greek, Roman, Islamic, and lastly the Medieval Renaissance golden ages. Our intention is to find correlations between these times by means of technology, culture, and social advancements. Art is a very pivotal component to a society, by researching communities present within in each of these societies, we can make a general assumption as to why these “golden ages” actually occurred.

Painted on the interior of a wine cup, "it shows a Greek hoplite (armored infantryman) striking a Persian warrior in hand-to-hand combat with swords. The Greek has lost his principal weapon, a spear, and the Persian can no longer shoot his, the bow and arrow" (The Making of the West 77). Each is depicted very differently, showing the distinct difference between the two parties. Also, the commonality of the object that this amount of detail is put into shows that art was an everyday part of Greek life during their Golden Age.
