Kritios Boy
The marble Kritios Boy or Kritian Boy belongs to the Early Classical period of ancient Greek sculpture. It is the first statue from classical antiquity known to use contrapposto;〔Janson, H.W. (1995) ''History of Art''. 5th edn. Revised and expanded by Anthony F. Janson. London: Thames & Hudson, p. 139. ISBN 0500237018〕 Kenneth Clark called it "the first beautiful nude in art"〔Clark, Kenneth. (2010) ''The Nude: A study in ideal form''. New edition. London: The Folio Society, pp. 24-25.〕 It is possible, even likely, that earlier Bronze statues had used the technique, but if they did, they have not survived〔 and Susan Woodford has speculated that the statue is a copy of a Bronze original.〔Woodford, Susan. (1982) ''The Art of Greece and Rome''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, pp. 13-14. ISBN 0521298733〕 The Kritios Boy is thus named because it is attributed, on slender evidence,〔 to Kritios who worked together with Nesiotes (sculptors of ''Harmodius and Aristogeiton'') or their school, from around 480 BC. As currently mounted, the statue is considerably smaller than life-size at c. 86 cm (3 ft 10 ins),〔〔Honour, H. and J. Fleming, (2009) ''A World History of Art''.7th edn. London: Laurence King Publishing, p. 122. ISBN 9781856695848〕 including the supports that replace the missing feet.
==Discovery==
The statue was excavated in 1866 on the Acropolis of Athens, among the "Perserschutt", the ceremonial dump in which the Athenians buried the debris of sacred artefacts destroyed by the marauding Persian army in 480 BC. It is on display in the Acropolis Museum, Athens,〔Inv. no. 698.〕 near the site where it was excavated. The torso was found in 1865 while excavating the foundation of the old museum at the Athenian Acropolis. The head of this statue was found twenty-three years later between the museum and the Acropolis south wall, in the latest stage of the rubble of destruction undergone in the Persian Wars. This fact, in conjunction with the analysis of its style, is essential to the dating of the statue.〔Jeffrey M. Hurwitt, "The Kritios Boy: Discovery, Reconstruction, and Date", in: ''American Journal of Archaeology'' 93 (1989), pp. 41-80.
