Praxiteles of Athens, the son of Cephisodotus the Elder, was the most renowned of the Attic sculptors of the 4th century BC.He was the first to sculpt the nude female form in a life-size statue.While no indubitably attributable sculpture by Praxiteles is extant, numerous copies of his works have survived; several authors, including Pliny the Elder, wrote of his works; and coins engraved with silhouettes of his various famous statuary types from the period still exist.A supposed relationship between Praxiteles and his beautiful model, the Thespian courtesan Phryne, has inspired speculation and interpretation in works of art ranging from painting to comic opera to shadow play .

Archaeological Museum of Olympia - Greece HD Travel Channel
After visiting the ancient site, we make a tour of the Archaeological Museum of Olympia. Already build in 1882 to exhibit finds from the surrounding archaeological sites, it was the first museum outside Athens. In 1975 one set up a new building, renovated in 2003 with high-quality materials. It is one of the most important museums in Greece. The exhibition halls are arranged chronologically in a clockwise direction.
We start our tour with the models of the Pelopion, the first sanctuary. Followed up to 4000 years old figures and weapons, usually made of bronze.
Architectural relics, like the pediment of the Treasure House of Megara, or the east and west pediment of the Temple of Zeus, witness the earlier artful design of the buildings.
We see models and an illustration of a reconstruction of the Statue of Zeus that brings the past back to life. Once the statue had hair and robes covered with gold and a skin made of ivory.
The statues of Nike of Paionios and Hermes of Praxiteles witness the perfection of Greek sculpture.
A highlight in the Roman hall is the bull from the Nymphaeum of Herodes Atticus, a consul, and patron of the arts.

Nach dem Besuch der antiken Stätte machen wir einen Rundgang durch das archäologische Museum von Olympia. Bereits 1882 erbaut, um Funde aus den umliegenden archäologischen Stätten auszustellen, war es das erste Museum außerhalb von Athen.
1975 errichtete man ein neues Gebäude, das 2003 mit hochwertigen Materialien renoviert wurde. Es ist eines der wichtigsten Museen Griechenlands. Die Ausstellungshallen sind im Uhrzeigersinn chronologisch angeordnet.
Wir beginnen unseren Rundgang mit den Modellen des Pelopion, der ersten Weihestätte. Es folgen bis zu 4000 Jahre alte Figuren und Waffen, in der Regel aus Bronze gefertigt.
Architektonische Relikte, wie der Giebel des Schatzhauses von Megara, oder Ost- und Westgiebel des Zeustempel zeigen die einst kunstvolle Gestaltung der Bauwerke.
Modelle und eine Abbildung einer Rekonstruktion der Zeusstatue, deren Haar und Gewänder mit Gold überzogen war und deren Haut aus Elfenbein gefertigt wurde, lassen die Vergangenheit wieder bildlich aufleben.
Eindrucksvoll zeigen die Statuen der Nike des Paionios und des Hermes des Praxiteles die Perfektion der griechischen Bildhauerkunst.
Im römischen Saal ist der Stier aus dem Nymphäum des Herodes Atticus, einem Konsul und Mäzen, hervorzuheben.
