Not to rain on your parade but Egyptians were making stuff like pic rel in 1350 BCE
also true. The fact that Etruscans made impressive bronze works just offers even more evidence that greek styles spread across italy in the early iron age.
Imagine being so moronic you think Italians just coincidentally used the same realism and lost wax casting as Greeks who were colonizing in the same peninsula
Yes? I know you are. The size alone of the lion make the casting much more impressive since they had to fuse the different pasts together, obviously making one small stylized head was much easier
According to the fact that its Etruscan in origin

2. IT IS INFERRED THAT IT IS ETRUSCAN, BASED ON THE CHRONOLOGY; THE CHRONOLOGY IS BASED ON FAULTY DATING METHODS.

I'm just gonna pre-empt this "ALL CHRONOLOGY IS LIES" and ask you to explain why european historical chronologies and observations of astronomical events match ones from other civilizations like persia and china including ones in central and south america that died out and had their ruins swallowed by the jungle centuries before spaniards even arrived

Explain what's wrong with it.

Damn, they really improved since those boar vessel (600BC-500BC) times

This.
>Wooden statue of the ancient Egyptian scribe Kaaper (also known as as Sheikh el-Beled), 5th or 4th dynasty of the Old Kingdom c. 2500 BC.
It feels good to know that fat fricks like me could still succeed even ~5000 years ago.
looks really primitive compared to op's pic
also, I am a mentally moronic troony. Thats why I think OPs pic looks so good
They were made 2000 years before the OP
Looks shit
Amarna art was just ugly
>Head of a man ( known as Akkadian ruler). From Nineveh. c. 2300-2200 BCE
Not nearly as impressive
still goes hard you have to admit
Biased af

>from nineveh

>amarna art was just ugly
wrong, it was unique and had soul, which is hardly something you can say for much of the other monumental egyptian art
>Head of a ruler ca. 2300–2000 BC, Mesopotamia
How the FRICK did they do it
They mogged everyone until the 19th century
Bronze casting is easy, just make a good mold and you can mass produce any shape. Bronze in ancient times was like modern day plastics
That's a lion. They were all over the med until Latin Black folk hinted them to extinction
The famous lions with snake tails and a goat's head on back
But no, Italy had no lions since at least the upper Paleolithic, Greece did have lions until the classical age or roman period though
Is realism the most based style of art? Seems like everyone here wants to claim it for their own culture
yes, progress and evolution are ideological lies
Piece of an Gravettian ivory atlatl.
>ca. [1500] [CE] [(CHRISTIAN ERA)][.]
Found and sold in 1500 you lying moron
The statue itself is ancient

We need but sever the tail!
Roman Bedroom from 79 AD. Because of the Christian Dark Ages this level of art wouldn't appear in Europe for another 1400 years.
