Summary
[edit]DescriptionLefkadia The Tomb of the Palmettes – VI (36718498713).jpg |
Tympanum Detail. From the level of the capitals upwards a variety of colors is used, the predominant ones being shades of red and blue applied to the individual decorative elements: Ionic and Doric moldings, frieze, taeniae, astragals, Lesbian moldings, and alternating palmettes and lotus flowers, which adorned the raking and horizontal cornices of the tympanum of the pediment and the Ionic architrave. The tympanum of the pediment (height 1 m.) has a depiction of a married couple half—reclining and facing each other, as at a banquet, consisting of a man of mature age with grey hair and a woman who rests her chin on her right hand. Their eyes do not meet. The man holds the key to a temple, an indication that he held some political or religious office, or that he is a god (Pluto?). They both wear clothes with rich drapery - a himation and a chiton. The plastic volumes of their bodies are worked by intensifying the color tones: dark red, violet, ochre for the shadows, greenish, grey, blue, pink and combinations of dilute grey and black. Macedonian Tomb 325 – 300 BC Lefkadia, Macedonia, Greece The entrance to the interior or the tomb was a simple opening sealed by six courses of pores blocks. Antechamber and main chamber |
