Reviving the Narrative Heritage through Contemporary Sculpture

Abstract

Stories are considered a human event and each period of time has its own storytelling, cultural and artistic heritage that distinguishes it from others and has helped to highlight them and document some of them literature from poems and movable tales that we rarely look for their subtleties or causes that helped to appear and occur because of our different interests Research, Note that many do not see it as an excuse or a reason for our distance or ignorance of some of us, but with the diversity of ways and methods of reviving this narrative heritage may help and facilitate the dissemination of this ancient human story heritage with its principles, subtleties and original values in different periods of time and spatial dimensions, knowing that this heritage may be reality and reality in full or some or mythical completely or some of it as well.

Art is one of the most important ways and means that help spread the heritage of stories of various kinds, the most important of these works is the painting The Last Supper by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which gained its fame not because of the accuracy of the artist's drawing but because of the important event that this painting carries in the history of Christianity.

Benvenuto Cellini's sculpture called Perseus with the head of the Medusa is a sculpture of a Greek mythological story and these stories are still remembered to this day because of the art that has greatly helped to sustain and circulate them not only across generations but across different peoples and cultures, and this is what the researcher will address through a number of sculptures that embody real or mythological stories.
