Sculpted in the sixth and early fifth centuries B.C., they served as votives until Persians sacked the citadel in 480/79 B.C. Subsequently, they were buried as a group and forgotten for nearly twenty-four centuries, until archaeologists excavated them in the 1880s. Today, they are among the treasures of the Acropolis Museum. Mary Stieber takes a fresh look at the Attic korai in this book. Challenging the longstanding view that the sculptures are generic female images, she persuasively argues that they are instead highly individualized, mimetically realistic representations of Archaic young women, perhaps even portraits of real people. Marshalling a wide array of visual and literary evidence to support her claims, she shows that while the korai lack the naturalism that characterizes later Classical art, they display a wealth and realism of detail that makes it impossible to view them as generic, idealized images. This iconoclastic interpretation of the Attic korai adds a new dimension to our understanding of Archaic art and to the distinction between realism and naturalism in the art of all periods. 606 $aKorai 606 $aPolychromy$zGreece$zAthens 606 $aVotive offerings$zGreece$zAthens 606 $aAthena (Greek deity)$xCult 606 $aInscriptions, Greek 607 $aAcropolis (Athens, Greece) 615 0$aKorai. 615 0$aPolychromy 615 0$aVotive offerings 615 0$aAthena (Greek deity)$xCult. 615 0$aInscriptions, Greek. 676 $a733/.3 700 $aStieber$b Mary C$g(Mary Clorinda)$0855048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826303903321 996 $aThe poetics of appearance in the Attic korai$93933478 997 $aUNINA
