Archaic Smile
Prov.13:19
"The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil."
"But of course, an architectural style cannot take root unless it
satisfies some need of the time. Brunellesco's style satisfied the need
of the clear-headed, bright-minded men who appeared on the Florentine
scene at the moment when the discipline of trade and banking, in its
most austere form, was beginning to be relaxed and life-a full use of
human faculties-became more important than making money."~~~Kenneth

The archaic smile was used by sculptors in Archaic Greece, especially in the second quarter of the 6th century BCE, possibly to suggest that their subject was alive and infused with a sense of well-being. One of the most famous examples of the Archaic Smile is the Kroisos Kouros, and the Peplos Kore is another.
The Rampin Rider or Rampin Horseman (c. 550 BC) is an equestrian statue from the Archaic Period of Ancient Greece. The statue was masterfully made of marble and has traces of red and black paint.
