CONTRAPPOSTOCONTRAPPOSTO
CONTRAPPOSTO (or COUNTERPOISE), an Italian word, describes the stance of the human body in which one leg bears the weight while the other is relaxed. An asymmetry is created in the shoulder-hip axis. This is a natural, relaxed body pose. Early sculptures of human figures, while anatomically correct, appeared stiff and unnatural
Here is an example of an Egyptian sculpture from the 4th Dynasty, c. 2500 BCE., Menekaura and a Queen. Notice the unnatural stiffness of the figures.
CONTRAPPOSTOCONTRAPPOSTO
If we look at the early Greek sculpture, the Anavysos Kouros (c 525 BCE), the unnatural stiffness is still present.
CONTRAPPOSTOCONTRAPPOSTO
...the shoulders are level
...the hips are level
...both fists are level
...even the knees are level
...but the left leg is thrust forward. The left leg is forward and would have to be six inches longer!
Does the Anavysos Koursos statue demonstrate contrapposto?
The Answer is NO.
CONTRAPPOSTOCONTRAPPOSTO
Contrapposto first appeared in classical Greek sculpture.
...the left shoulder is higher than the right shoulder
...an angle from the right shoulder to the left hip. The leg is relaxed and the hip bone is lower.
...the right leg bears all the body’s weight.
Also notice how the knees are not level and at an angle. The shoulders counterbalance the hips.
If the hips and shoulders were parallel, we could not balance and would fall over!
CONTRAPPOSTOCONTRAPPOSTO
The classical Greeks progressed to where they were able to model the human in a nonsymmetrical, relaxed stance that appears much more realistic. This was lost during the Middle Ages and was rediscovered by artists like Donatello during the Renaissance
