Medieval Art and Fossils in New Horizons


I love research, so an excuse to go through every piece of art and look into each of their origins and determine if it was considered Medieval or older was a no-brainer. I was working on a castle-themed island, or Medieval island and I wanted the art, being that it corresponds to real art, to be historically accurate. Simply put all these pieces of art were either during or before what we call Medieval times. 

Medieval times began around 476 A.D and span roughly 1,000 years, ending between 1400 and 1450. 


Ancient statue
Or "Shakōki dogū" by unknown Jōmon sculptor(s) where made in 14,000 - 400 BC


Beautiful statue
Or Venus de Milo by Alexandros of Antioch was made roughly 2nd – 1st century BCE


Informative statue
Or Rosetta Stone by an unknown Egyptian scribe(s) was made in 196 BC


Motherly statue
Or Capitoline Wolf by unknown sculptors may have been cast between 1021 and 1153


Mystic statue
Or Bust of Nefertiti by Thutmose of Ahketaten is believed to have been crafted in 1345 BCE


Robust statue
Or Townley Discobolus by Myron of Eleuthera was made around 460–450 BC


Rock-head statue
Or "Olmec colossal head 1" by the unknown Olmec sculptor(s) were made between 1500 and 400 BC


Tremendous statue
Or "Houmuwu ding" by an unknown Shang sculptor(s) was made around 1200 BCE


Valiant statue
Or Winged Victory of Samothrace by the unknown Thracian sculptor(s) was started in 190 BC


Warrior statue
Or Terracotta Army soldier by unknown Qin sculptor(s) was left unfinished in 210 BCE

No fossils are on this list because the first fossil was found in Bavaria in 1861. But I wanted to include it in the title so that you know there were none in Medieval times.
