Colossus of Rhodes! 🏛🗽🏛 This enormous sta

Colossus of Rhodes!
🏛🗽🏛
This enormous statue of the Helios, the god of the sun in Ancient Greece would have been seen as ships sailed into the city of Rhodes. It was erected in 280 BC in celebration of successfully defending the city against an attack by Demetrius Poliorcetes. Thought to be around 33 metres high, similar height to the Statue of Liberty in New York, it would have been the tallest statue in the ancient world. The location of the actual statue remains a mystery, as it collapsed during an earthquake in 226 BC and was never rebuilt. There is also some dispute as to whether the statue straddled the harbour entrance, where ships could pass under his legs? This seems quite unlikely, but not out of the question. My depiction is showing him here resting on two stands as I like the idea that water can flow under him, but maybe not wide enough for a trireme ship to pass through, just a small boat. Also notice the cheeky seagulls on his shoulder... bird is the word!

The Statue of Zeus, the first of the Seven wonders

The Statue of Zeus, the first of the Seven wonders in place. Located in Olympia, Greece, the mighty seated figure stood over 12 metres tall and was made by the famous Greek sculptor Phidias. The statue would have been constructed around a wooden framework, with and ivory and gold panels covering it. The sculpture would have been painted and decorated immensely with no expense spared.
🏛⚡️🏛
I wanted the statue to be up high, to symbolise Zeus watching down over the world from Mount Olympus. Next up, the Colossus of Rhodes!

Pot luck... some foreground colouring details starting to take shape on the Seven. Here’s a little Greek terracotta broken pot to the side of the steps, hopefully giving this piece some serious depth given the size of some of the main features that will be included in this piece.
