I don't take steroids and I'm more buff than he was.

I may not have the physique these statues have but at least my dick is bigger.

I'd take the tradeoff.

This is realistic/detailed, but realism refers to emulating real life instead of idealizing it. So a realist statue would have fat pockets or other flaws you'd expect in a real person

The Rape of Proserpina by Bernini is my favourite.

How in the hell can marble look so soft?

Here's another one, The Veiled Virgin by Bernini. The man was a god.

One thing to note on the David, his upper half is bigger than usual because it was meant for the viewer to be near him and look up so the foreshorterning would have made his upper portion look proportionate to the lower half which was closer to the viewer.

Damn, I wish I could see him live. I guess I'll have to add Firenze to my list of places to travel.

If you ever have the misfortune of being in southern California, I highly recommend the Getty center and Getty Villa. They both have loads of Greco-Roman art and the Villa itself is heavily inspired by an ancient Roman Villa.

I've seen it in person, can confirm it looks 100% real.

That one's actually 19th century, not Bernini. But those statues with the veiled illusion are amazing.

Whenever I see this I worry that Heracles will get Saturday night palsy from leaning on that club for too long like that

Back has made up muscles

Fuck, I'm retarded. You're right.

I've always wondered, these statues must have been modelled on the looks of actual people. How did people in those days know about proper eating calories/macros etc as well as proper workout routines

Oh?

it's not quantum physics bro, people back then weren't completely retarded you know,

oh yes
amazing v line on neck and good nose

Roman statues tend to be compounds of multiple bodies.
like they got a guy with big arms to pose for the arms and a guy a ripped chest to pose for the chest.

You know the rules. Post body.

i think that back is supra-real

Nice cope. Their statues are so anatomically precise that most art historians believe they were using live models as a reference. Dudes really were getting that stacked back in 600 BC.

Yes, those fat pockets are "realistic" in the modern world where people work sedentary jobs and have been eating food spiked with corn syrup for most of their lives. Back then you walked almost everywhere, labored physically, ate only whole foods, and on top of all that the ancient greeks did have gymnasiums and understood that more physical training meant more muscle and strength.

Also, I know well of the "small dick = good" view of the ancient med world, so does that mean there are barbarian statues (usually of them dying or losing, but still) with large dicks?

desu it's sad to say no one looks like this now because everyones a sugar chasing mongrel

It's more about not drawing the attention to the penis. The piece is not meant to be pornographic. The only reason there is a penis is to keep it anatomically correct. If all of these statues had 10 inch dicks, everyone's eyes would be looking at them and not the artistic parts.

pic related is a depiction of a barbarian, dick is ok. But that is only a secondary reason imo, makes more practical sense.

Holy shit that back is aesthetic.

Actually it’s his head and hands that are enlarged and it’s because it was meant to be placed on a cathedral roof

actually, this topic is a little more nuanced than you think; a lot of these statues were idealized depictions of godlike figures - many greek and roman sculptors had good knowledge of human anatomy extrapolate this

however, you are correct, the greek were very big into athleticism so I am sure there were no shortage of good looking people; but remember, this is way back then when the average age was like 25 and you probably were not fed that well to make these bodies the norm

i'm not an art historian but definitely look around, it also depends on the statue as well

Yeah!

Small dick doesn't mean "good" necessarily. Small dicks were patrician as fuck. Big dicks were thought to be grotesque and take away from the beauty of the rest of the statue. The only reason you'd put a big dick on a statue is if you were a degenerate, tasteless pleb.

That's bull lol. Many of these sculptors had exhumed bodies and studied muscle anatomy. No one was this big in those days. These statues are often portraying Gods, Demi-Gods or war heroes, so their physique is exaggerated to show how powerful they were.
