Reconstructing ancient art
#1
Gioi,great work on your reconstruction!You took the two arleady reconstructed parts and we placed their oposites to fill the other half!Very good job.
And the others' work is amazing too!They should do the same with some ancient portraits,too
Here's my poor atempt.Poor me!I put myself in such comparison! :? Moderators,if you think this is much off-topic,remove or delete it.

Looks great!

The only hindrance to recreate ancient sculptures could be our bashful attitude towards nudity. :wink:

Yes,better...but in the previous one the mouth was moving faster and looked more realistic.

I still think he looks way too much like a movie star! I bet Justinian in real life was much more ugly! :wink:

I agree, ol' Justinian looks like a nice bit of totty in that pic.
I always imagine him to have bore more of a resemblance to the Barbarian loving, Roman hating, uberliberal, Terry Jones Big Grin P

This is one of the most good looking portraits of Socrates...and more beautiful than more sources describe him. It's not much of a compliment to be told you look like Socrates, but he looks indeed a bit like the sculpture. Smile
