Let's start at the top, with the pediment.

The pediment of the heart is the stomach.

And we really shouldn't say pediment, we should say pediments.

So, let's start off by looking at the sculptures on the Western pediment.

'The pediment is still too low,' he answered Anna's question as to what it was all about.

So we have this wonderful unification of action among all of these figures on the East pediment.

The next area below the pediment is, actually, officially part of the order, and that's called the entablature.

This is the Pediment 's sculptures from the East end of the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens.

The pediment isn't officially part of the order, but since Greek temples had it in one end or the other, a pediment, we just thought we would name that for you, and that's that triangular space at the very top of the temple

In terms of being a space that gets filled with sculpture, a pediment is kind of an awkward environment.

First of all, these were outside, in the open air, they were high up on a pediment, on this island.

The West pediment was earlier, and we think that those sculptures were carved when the temple was actually built, about 490 B.C.E..

Look at the numerous holes, for instance, in the pediment that tell of all the different purposes that this building has been put to.

On the temple of Aphaea, there was a pediment on the East side and on the West side, on the two short ends of the temple.

In the very center of the pediment, on both the East and the West sides, we have a standing figure, noble, looking outward, the Goddess Athena.

The 3 figures that survived, on the right side of the East Pediment we think it might be Hestia who would be closest to the middle,

The pediment sculptures were not made at the same moment, and that makes them even more interesting, because it helps us see the evolution of greek sculpture.

We can say it's an early moment of the Classical for the sculptures on the East pediment, this moment of transition as the style really was just being invented.

This is so different than what we see on the East pediment, which dates from only a decade or two later, where we see the beginnings of the Classical style.

The frieze below the pediment carries the name of the patron IOHAN(N)ES ORICELLARIUS PAU(LI) F(ILIUS) AN(NO) SAL(UTIS) MCCCCLXX (Giovanni Rucellai son of Paolo in the blessed year 1470).

The East pediment is much more fragmentary on the left side, but the one figure, of the fallen soldier, is in great condition, and so different from what we saw of the early archaic West facade.

The East side was later, and what's really interesting is those older West sculptures are in the archaic tradition, but the East pediment sculptures are just taking on the characteristics of the style we'll come to know as the Classical.

Well, I think is a characteristic you could say of Greek art from Archaic and the Classical period that the facial expressions for the most part are really quite blank and there are some tremendously violent scenes for example you can think of the pediment of the Temple of Zeus where centars are attacking Greek women and men yet everyone has these perfectly placid facial expressions

He wrote, I will turn Munich into a city of the arts, so that no one can claim to know Germany, who has not also seen Munich.
